Insulin Resistance Calculator

W8MD Insulin Resistance Calculator

Affecting about 1/3rd of the US population, insulin resistance is very common and leads to central obesity or belly fat. Also called insulin resistance syndrome, this condition increases inflammation in the body leading to increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and many other disorders including some cancers. However, the diagnosis of insulin resistance is fairly simple. Place a check against any item that applies to you below to see if you might be at risk:

A score of 3 or More is Indicative of Insulin Resistance!

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, you are likely insulin resistant. The more yes answers you gave, the more likely you are to have insulin resistance and the greater your risk is of developing health problems, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Since insulin resistance leads to central adiposity leading to metabolic syndrome with increased health risk, reducing insulin resistance is the key. You do not have to be overweight or obese to be insulin resistant. Even people with a BMI in the normal range can have insulin resistance! We may be able to help.
