If your cells become too resistant to insulin, it leads to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which, over time, leads to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a IGF-I SOMATOMEDIN-C (INSULIN GROWTH FACTOR) Test or Take a HIV-1 RNA QUANTITATIVE (VIRAL LOAD) - RT PCR Test
