  • You can track this hidden process using a test called HOMA-IR, which reveals how hard your body is working to control blood sugar — often before glucose levels become abnormal
  • Healing your gut with the right kinds of fiber and eliminating inflammatory foods helps restore beneficial butyrate levels, repair your gut lining and lower your risk for insulin resistance
