Short answer
Check fasting glucose and insulin levels and calculate the HOMA-IR index. Adjust your diet (reduce fast carbohydrates) and increase physical activity. Control your weight and regularly monitor your indicators in Axioris.
A condition in which the body's cells no longer respond adequately to insulin, which leads to impaired carbohydrate metabolism.
The mechanism in three steps, and where you can intervene.
Trigger
Excess simple carbohydrates, low physical activity, genetic predisposition
Mechanism
Cells stop responding to insulin → pancreas produces more insulin → hyperglycemia
Symptom
Fatigue after eating, cravings for sweets, weight gain (especially around the waist)

A baseline panel for the most common causes.
Assessing baseline blood sugar levels
Determination of fasting insulin levels to calculate the HOMA-IR index
Shows average glucose level over 3 months
Assess triglycerides and HDL levels, which are often abnormal in IR
Marker of inflammation, often elevated in insulin resistance
How each marker relates to insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance develops due to a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle choices. Excess consumption of refined carbohydrates and saturated fats, low physical activity, chronic stress and lack of sleep play a key role. Obesity (especially abdominal) increases resistance due to inflammatory cytokines released by adipose tissue.
For diagnosis, it is important to check not only glucose, but also fasting insulin to calculate the HOMA-IR index. Glycated hemoglobin reflects long-term sugar control. A lipid profile reveals associated disorders: high triglycerides and low HDL. In Axioris, you can download PDFs of analyzes and track the dynamics of these indicators on graphs.
Consultation with an endocrinologist is necessary if fasting glucose levels are >6.1 mmol/l, HbA1c >5.7%, or if the HOMA-IR index exceeds 2.7. Alarming symptoms: constant thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue. Your doctor may order an oral glucose tolerance test or additional tests.
1) Ignore the prediabetes stage 2) Focus only on glucose, forgetting about insulin 3) Sharply limit calories without changing the quality of nutrition 4) Do not control the level of vitamin D (its deficiency aggravates IR). In Axioris, you can set reminders for repeat tests and track all associated biomarkers.
«Сдала ферритин по плану из диагностики — оказалось 8 при норме 30+. Через 4 месяца коррекции выпадение остановилось.»
«Планировала тратить деньги на трихолога, но оказалось дефицит B12. Простой анализ, простая причина — нашла за 2 минуты.»
«Не ожидал, что стресс так сильно влияет. Axioris помог выстроить протокол и отслеживать динамику по фото каждые 4 недели.»

Yes, in the early stages the condition is reversible. Nutrition correction (reducing carbohydrate load, increasing fiber), regular physical activity and normalizing weight restore cell sensitivity to insulin.
A value up to 2.7 is normal, 2.7–5.0 indicates insulin resistance, above 5.0 is a high risk of diabetes. In Axioris, the calculator will automatically determine the index when you enter your glucose and insulin data.
High insulin blocks the breakdown of fats (lipolysis) and promotes their storage. In addition, fluctuations in sugar provoke hunger and cravings for sweets. It is important to first improve your insulin sensitivity.
Sugar, white bread, pastries, sweet drinks, fast food. Limit fruits with high GI (bananas, grapes). Instead - vegetables, protein, healthy fats (avocado, nuts, fish).
If IR is detected - glucose and insulin every 3-6 months, HbA1c - once a year. In Axioris, you can set up reminders for analyzes and track dynamics on charts.
