hey guys I’m going to answer a question why  do I have insulin resistance but normal a 1c  

I had a client ask me this so I’m just going to  do a video on it first of all what is insulin  

resistance it’s a pre-diabetic State okay it’s  something that comes before diabetes it’s a  

situation where you’re having higher amounts of  insulin because insulin is not working okay so  

then the body makes more so that’s what that is  and then a1c is a test to diagnose diabetes and  

a1c is an average test an average of three months  of your blood Sugar’s so it’s more reliable than  

just one blood blood sugar test so a1c should  be like in the like high fours fives low fives  

but when it gets into higher 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and  then you have a serious blood sugar you’re already  

diabetic so that’s how they diagnose it but check  this out you first get insulin resistance okay  

then it converts into a type-2 diabetes which is  the first stage where your actual officially at  

problems your blood sugar now here’s the thing it  takes 10 years for this to develop in some cases  

sometimes it’s a lot shorter but in a lot of cases  it’s 10 years so you may test it in the transition  

phase where it’s subclinical it doesn’t show  up on your blood Sugar’s yet so of course it’s  

not going to show up and they won’t see yet it  hasn’t affected your blood sugar is necessarily  

the insulin is high but it hasn’t done anything  with the blood Sugar’s yet okay so one test that  

you could do for insulin resistance and I’ll do  a specific video and this is a fasting insulin  

test not a fasting glucose test and that way you  can pick this up a lot better but what happens  

you’ve got instant resistance type 2 and even  type 2 can turn it into a type 1 where there’s  

no more insulin however there are other causes  of type 1 there is also a genetic type it’s  

also autoimmune triggered by stress okay but if  you take a type 2 over a period of time if you  

notice a lot of type twos they started metformin  and then all of a sudden they need more insulin  

and more influence and more insulin why because  they’re their selves that produce insulin are  

wearing out over time and then to the point where  often they don’t produce any insulin and they  

would be officially categories as a type one type  one just doesn’t produce any more insulin okay  

the cells are exhausted okay so this is the kind  of a cycle of worsening of blood sugar so I hope  

that answered this question and put your comments  below thanks for watching hey guys thank you so
