More testing needed: Your dr. Will check a hgba1c to see your sugar levels over the past 3 months. Diet, exercise and weight loss are a must since Insulin resistance is directly proportional to your weight and they have a great positive impact on the disease and your life overall. Depending on your risk factors and numbers, you may have to start with medications also. Talk to your dr.
