What does a high result mean?
A ratio above 3.0 suggests moderating refined carbohydrates and embracing daily walking to re-align metabolic wellness.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Does this ratio confirm healthy whole-body insulin sensitivity?
- What simple dietary changes yield the most significant improvement for this score?
- Is a yearly follow-up checkup adequate?
