🔬GLUCOSE & INSULIN

Metabolic Health & Insulin Sensitivity

WHAT IT MEASURES

• Fasting Glucose — blood sugar baseline

• HbA1c — 3-month average blood sugar

• Fasting Insulin — insulin production baseline

• HOMA-IR — insulin resistance index

• C-Peptide — endogenous insulin production marker

REFERENCE RANGES

Marker	Optimal Range	Note
Fasting Glucose	70–99 mg/dL	Pre-meal baseline
HbA1c	<5.7%	3-month average
Fasting Insulin	2–6 µIU/mL	Baseline output
HOMA-IR	<1.5	Resistance index
C-Peptide	0.5–2.0 ng/mL	Insulin production

WHY IT MATTERS

Growth hormone peptides, IGF-1, and certain anabolic compounds significantly impair insulin signaling and glucose uptake. Chronically elevated blood sugar and rising HOMA-IR scores signal developing insulin resistance — a precursor to metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. Monitor your fasting glucose and HbA1c every 8–12 weeks. Berberine, metformin (with physician oversight), and timed carbohydrate strategies can help manage glucose while optimizing body composition.
