I often get asked how to diagnose Prediabetes or Insulin Resistance. That's what this video is about. We cover the standard tests: Fasting Blood Sugar or Glucose (FBS or FBG), Hemoglobin A1c (HgA1c); Triglyceride/HDL (TG/HDL) ratio, the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), and Kraft Insulin Survey. We also touch quickly on the prevalence of this problem. And then we compare these tests to criticisms from some docs, like, "these tests are rigged to fail". Finally, we compare these tests and their carb content to that of soft drinks, sodas & fast food value meals. These are consumed more than every day tens of millions of times across the country in the Standard American Diet.
