If your A1C is “normal” but you still feel foggy, tired, or off — we take that seriously.
These are often the first signs of metabolic stress. And catching them early can make all the difference.
🔍 Common early symptoms:
Do any of these sound familiar?
Afternoon energy crashes or brain fog
Strong sugar or carb cravings
Belly weight gain despite the same habits
Feeling sleepy or “crashy” after meals
Mood swings, irritability, or low motivation
“Normal labs” but something just doesn’t feel right
If yes to two or more, it’s worth exploring further.
🚩 Red flag symptoms (please alert us if any apply):
Rapid weight changes
Vision changes or blurred vision
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Excessive thirst or urination
Skin darkening around neck or armpits
These may indicate advanced insulin resistance or diabetes and need prompt follow-up.
🧠 What we’ll ask (or what you can share now):
When did symptoms begin?
What’s your eating/sleep/movement routine like?
Have you ever had insulin or HOMA-IR tested?
Any history of PCOS, gestational diabetes, or family history of metabolic issues?
Are you on any medications that affect metabolism?
Have you ever used a CGM or tracked glucose before?
✅ What we might recommend:
Depending on what you share, we may suggest:
Lab tests (glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, lipids, inflammation markers)
CGM tracking to look at real-world trends
Nutritional strategies tailored to your body’s insulin response
Stress and sleep support to reduce metabolic strain
Supplements or medication support (if needed)
This is something we work on regularly with patients — not because it’s scary, but because it’s changeable.
Tell us what’s been going on, and we’ll help you figure out the next best step. No shame, no guessing — just clear, data-informed care.
