Reverse the Resistance- Understanding and reversing pre-diabetes before it's too late
What Is Pre-Diabetes?
Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet in the diabetic range.
It is an early warning sign that your body is developing insulin resistance and metabolic stress, often without symptoms.
Why Pre-Diabetes Matters?
Even before diabetes develops, pre-diabetes is associated with heart disease, inflammation, fatigue, weight gain, fatty liver, cognitive decline, and accelerated aging.
Ignoring this stage allows damage to continue silently.
The Most Important Fact Patients Should Know Pre-diabetes is reversible when identified early.
This stage represents a powerful opportunity to restore metabolic health before permanent complications develop.
The ARA Perspective :
Rather than focusing only on blood sugar, we evaluate the root cause of dysfunction by measuring:
- insulin levels
- inflammation
- hormones
- gut health
- liver function
- sleep
- stress
- body composition
By empowering Patients at ARA Integrative & Functional Medicine, we help patients understand pre-diabetes as a signal — not a failure.
Education and early intervention allow patients to take control of their health and prevent progression to diabetes.
When to Get Screened:
Patients with family history of diabetes, weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, PCOS, fatty liver, or sleep apnea should be evaluated for insulin resistance — even if standard labs appear normal.
