I am new to the idea of keto. I started casually switching to high fat/low carbs yesterday but I havn’t been counting Macros.
I suspect that I have insulin resistance but I have been doing annual fasting glucose tests for years and I have never shown to be pre-diabetic. However, I do have several risk-factors and symptoms like obesity, frequent urination, and both parents diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
I would like to ask my doctor to order an HbA1c. I would also like to test my insulin levels, but I don’t know what that would be called.
What other test(s) should I ask for as I am trying to learn about my metabolism and planning to start a ketogenic diet.
