Episode notes
Detect Metabolic Dysfunction Early
- Measure fasting insulin (and consider OGTT with insulin) to detect early insulin resistance before A1c rises.
- Use CGMs for short trials to learn which foods spike individual glucose responses.
Use GLP‑1s Where They Fit

- Evaluate each patient individually; GLP‑1s are powerful but not universally the perfect solution.
