When your cells become less sensitive to the hormone insulin, that means they can’t easily take up the glucose from your blood. They become “insulin resistant.” Your pancreas responds by making more and more insulin to clear the sugar from your blood. Poor insulin sensitivity leads to chronically high glucose, which increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Our clients at the Comite Center wear continuous glucose monitors to keep track of their glucose and learn to prevent the significant fluctuations that can cause damage. CGMs help put you in the driver’s seat so you can improve your insulin sensitivity with the techniques listed above.
