Approximately half the population in the US and Western Europe may be insulin resistant without knowing it, as simple plasma glucose tests do not detect it.

“the amount of people if you if you look at the CDC that count people as insulin resistant like pre-diabetic but not yet diabetic is probably depending on the study you look at and how you want to measure it anywhere from like 15 of the population up to like maybe 38 let's just say 40”

“i think for your listeners this is probably every other person in this country and or in western europe are insulin resistant your doctor won't even know this unless they do careful maybe studies to assess insulin resistance because you won't pick this up as the simple plasma glucose test”

“insulin resistance which is very common it's probably one quarter of our population and one half of our population has it perfectly asymptomatic you don't know you have it”
