The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
I've also used fasting insulin is kind of an inflammatory marker if that bumps you know if somebody's eating a low carbohydrate diet and they're fasting insulin is above 5 or 6 I'm like that's not right you know something else going on here obviously it's contextual and if somebody's eating a lot of carbohydrates that could just be insulin resistance with a high fasting insulin
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
most of the time on on carnivore diets we see fasting insulin levels of two or three and I personally would consider something about four or five to be abnormal
carbohydrates do not cause insulin resistance um not all carbohydrates are created equally but um a fasting insulin should be low you can get a sense of how your fasting insulin is going to be by using a cgm and i think these two go hand in hand they really complete the picture looking the phenotype
regardless um one of these fasting insulin levels was not horrible 5.8 is not horrible but if somebody came to me with a fasting incident 5.9 it's a it's a little higher than I'd like to see it... and if your insulin is really much above four or five then you need to think about what is causing insulin resistance
