Simple at-home calculation to see if you are at risk! ⬇️ Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition where the body’s cells become less responsive to the effects of insulin, leading to reduced glucose uptake from the bloodstream. As a result, the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate, potentially leading to high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other health complications. If you’re wondering if you have insulin resistance, follow the steps below to do a quick estimation using waist-to-hip ratio. To calculate your waist-to-hip ratio, follow these steps: Measure Your Waist: Use a flexible tape measure to measure the circumference of your waist at the narrowest point, typically just above the belly button. Measure Your Hips: Measure the circumference of your hips at the widest point, around your buttocks. Calculate WHR: Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. The formula is: Waist measurement / Hip measurement = WHR. For example, if your waist is 30 inches and your hips are 40 inches, the calculation would be: 30 / 40 = 0.75. Interpretation: * For men: A WHR greater than 1.0 is generally considered high, indicating that fat is predominantly stored in the abdominal area, which is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular problems. * For women: A WHR greater than 0.85 is typically considered high, indicating a similar risk. ✨You can also ask your doctor for a fasting insulin test for the best accuracy. ✨ 👉🏻Follow me for tips on how to reverse this! #lowsugarlifestyle #fatlossdiet #prediabeticdiet #insulinresistancediet #carbsaregood #eattonourish #healthycarbs #healthyfats #balancedplate #dietitianapproved #bloodsugardiet #InsulinResistance #lowcarb #lowcarbdiet #hormonehealth #weightlossgoal #weightlosstip #weightlossadvice #bellyfat #weightmanagment #weightmanagementspecialist
