Insulin Resistance Progression to Diabetes
Hypertension: BP >140/90 Dyslipidemia: ◦TG >150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol.L) ◦HDL-C <35 mg/dL (0.9 mmol/L) Obesity (central): BMI >30 kg/M2 ◦Waist girth > 94 cm (37 inch) ◦Waist/Hip ratio > 0.9 Impaired Glucose Handling: IR, IGT or DM ◦FPG >110 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L) ◦2 hr. PG >200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L)
Inflammation
Stage 1 – Early Insulin Resistance
Treatment recommendations for Stage 1
Stage 2 – Elevated Insulin Graph represents patient's stage of pre- diabetes.
Treatment recommendations for stage 2
Stage 3: Beta-Cell Dysfunction Graph represents patient's stage of pre-diabetes.
Treatment recommendations for stage 3
Inflammation Markers High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) High hs-CRP associated with: Chronic inflammatory state. Insulin resistance (independent of obesity) and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and aging. Increased risk of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and increased risk of cardiac death in individuals with previous heart attack.
Treatment Options to reduce hs- CRP:
