You Might Be Insulin Resistant If… (10 Sneaky Signs You’ve Been Ignoring)

You’ve been told it’s just aging. Or hormones. Or stress.

But what if the fatigue, cravings, belly fat, bloating, or night waking are all connected… to one root cause?

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries, we’re digging into the real-life symptoms of insulin resistance — the ones that don’t always show up on lab work but do show up in your day-to-day life. These are the early signs most women miss — or get dismissed for.

We’ll cover:

  • A quick recap of insulin resistance (and why it matters)
  • 10 common but overlooked symptoms that could point to metabolic dysfunction
  • Why your blood sugar can look “normal” while insulin is still high
  • What to track and tweak if you recognize these signs
  • A free checklist to help you take action now

This episode is packed with lightbulb moments and powerful self-awareness. If you’ve been feeling off — start here.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

  • Insulin resistance develops silently — often years before your blood sugar or A1C looks abnormal.
  • Symptoms like bloating, fatigue, carb cravings, sleep issues, and belly fat can all be early signs.
  • Fasting insulin is rarely tested — but it’s a key marker of whether your body is in fat-burning mode.
  • You don’t need a diagnosis to start paying attention.
  • Small daily shifts can lower insulin, stabilize blood sugar, and help your body feel safe again.
