Insulin Resistance Quiz

According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 86 million Americans suffer pre-diabetes also known as metabolic syndrome.

Pre-diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance that develops when the body has trouble using the insulin that it produces. The more severe your insulin resistance, the greater your chance of developing diabetes and heart disease.

Dr. Sears Zone‘s Insulin Resistance Calculator helps determine your extent of insulin resistance, and also provides clinically-based dietary recommendations that may help reduce your levels of insulin resistance.

Weekly Wow: Frequent Eye Infections

quiz-001
True or False? Can diabetes cause you to have eye infections such as pink eye and frequent styes?

The correct answer is: True. People with diabetes are more likely to get bacterial infections, including bacterial pink eye and/or eyelid styes. Diabetes affects the autoimmune system, lowering one’s resistance to infection. Keeping your A1c (marker of blood sugar levels) as low as possible and practicing good hygiene such as washing your hands frequently and avoiding touching or rubbing your eyes can help.
