HI All,
Got my blood work back yesterday. My HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) came back at 2.35, which is wildly good news for a T2 Diabetic.
I am “mildly insulin resistant”. (T2’s not under control would be way up there above 3.0.)
Optimal HOMA-IR: Typically less than 2.0
Mild insulin resistance: 2.0–2.9
Moderate to severe insulin resistance: Greater than 3.0
My insulin was a tiny bit high: 7.5 uIU/mL.
Tens years on strict Keto since my T2 diagnosis 10 years ago.
Still have a round hard gut (non fatty liver disease I presume). My TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) doctor is thinking of starting me on “dai-zong-fang” to adjust my insulin down and get my hard gut down. He thinks my insulin is keeping me from losing the gut.
Thriving, not just surviving.
