"A normal A1C doesnt mean youre not diabetic anymore. Once your body has crossed into diabetes the label doesnt disappear. The difference is whether its controlled uncontrolled or in remission. 👉 Controlled = blood sugars in range (with or without meds) 👉 Uncontrolled = sugars still running high 👉 Remission = sugars normal without meds but the risk remains This isnt about taking away hope. Its about understanding the reality. Because with control or remission you can live a long healthy energetic life. 💬 Has this ever confused you Drop your thoughts below. 📌 Save this for your next"

"Most people focus on carbs when trying to improve insulin resistancebut protein plays just as big a role. 👉 Too much animal protein can increase insulin resistance while plant protein supports better balance. The sweet spot About 1.21.6 g/kg/day or 2530% of total calories depending on your needs and goals. More isnt always better. Its about the right type dose and timing. #InsulinResistance #metabolichealth #BloodSugar #proteinintake #doctorexplains"

"Im a board-certified internal medicine physician and I also have insulin resistance. When my labs first started shifting no one said much. My fasting glucose was slightly abnormal. My A1c was fine. But my fasting insulin was climbing my triglycerides were inching up and my energy was dipping. Thats when I realized how many people sit in that same gray zone and told theyre fine because nothings officially out of range. But insulin resistance doesnt start the day youre diagnosed with prediabetes. It starts years earlier and shows itself quietly in your labs. Heres what I want you to look for: ✅"

"This 10-minute habit lowers your blood sugar better than most meds and its completely free. A simple walk after each meal can reduce post-meal glucose spikes by 2030 points and improve long-term A1c. Studies show that even light-intensity walking (1015 minutes within XX minutes of eating) enhances glucose uptake stabilizes insulin levels and supports weight management. This is why I tell my patients: movement after meals is medicine. ✅It activates your muscles to pull glucose from your blood even without insulin. ✅It reduces oxidative stress and supports heart health. ✅It keeps insulin spikes"

"Politics aside heres what actually changed after the Affordable Care Act and why it still matters. Before 2010 people were denied insurance for things as simple as asthma pregnancy or acne. Cancer patients hit lifetime limits and lost coverage mid-treatment. Preventive care like mammograms Pap smears colonoscopies and vaccines wasnt guaranteed or free. The ACA changed that. ✅ No more denials for pre-existing conditions. ✅ No more lifetime or annual caps. ✅ Free preventive services for everyone. ✅ Coverage for dependents up to age XX. ✅ Limits on out-of-pocket costs to prevent medical"

"Hot take: your favorite energy boost might actually be affecting your heart. Energy drinks can raise your blood pressure heart rate and even change your heart rhythm sometimes within an hour. The risk goes up if you chug them mix with alcohol or work out right after. Better options Water unsweetened tea or plain coffee (without tons of sugar). For education only. Not medical advice. ##hearthealth##heartdiseaseawareness##highbloodpressure##medtok"
