"How do I test for insulin resistance?" I get asked this every day. Millions have it. Most never test for it. And many waste money on the wrong markers. Here's the exact protocol I use in clinic - what to test, why it matters, and the numbers that actually count. Bookmark this. https://t.co/W4L9ahFu0R
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
First - understand this: Insulin resistance starts 10–15 years before diabetes. Your HbA1c can be "normal" Your glucose can be "normal" While your insulin is already high. That's the real problem.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
The foundation (most important) → Fasting insulin → Fasting glucose Now combine them: HOMA-IR = (fasting insulin × fasting glucose) ÷ 22.5
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
This is why I prefer HOMA-IR. It shows: → How hard your body is working to control glucose → Not just the glucose itself Target: <1.5 (optimal)
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Why this matters: You don't get diabetes because glucose is high. You get diabetes because: Insulin has been high for years. HOMA-IR exposes this early.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
2) HbA1c (what most rely on) HbA1c measures average blood sugar over 3 months. Useful—but late. By the time HbA1c rises: Insulin resistance has been present for years. Think of HbA1c as a "diagnosis tool" Not a "prevention tool."
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
3) Lipid clues (underrated) → Triglycerides: <1.5 mmol/L (optimal) → HDL cholesterol Now calculate: Triglyceride:HDL ratio Target: <2.0 (optimal <1.5) Why this matters: High TG + low HDL = insulin resistance in disguise
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
4) ApoB (advanced but powerful) ApoB measures the number of atherogenic particles. Better than LDL alone.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Why I use it: → Links metabolic dysfunction to cardiovascular risk → Identifies risk even when LDL looks "normal"
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
5) Inflammation & metabolic stress → hs-CRP (inflammation) → Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) → Ferritin (inflammation + iron overload) → Uric acid (metabolic dysfunction marker) Especially: GGT rises early in fatty liver and metabolic stress
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
6) Clinical markers (simple but powerful) → Waist circumference → Blood pressure Waist-to-height ratio: Target: <0.5 You can look "lean" But still carry visceral fat.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
7) When to use C-peptide For people with: → Type 2 diabetes → Suspected insulin dysfunction C-peptide tells you: How much insulin your pancreas is producing
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Useful for: → Assessing beta-cell reserve → Differentiating insulin resistance vs insulin deficiency
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
8) Advanced (if you want precision) → DEXA scan: Measures visceral fat (the dangerous fat) This is the fat driving: → inflammation → insulin resistance → metabolic disease
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
The mistake most people make: • Waiting for symptoms • Ignoring insulin entirely • Trusting "normal ranges" • Relying on glucose alone
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
To summarise: → Insulin resistance starts early → HOMA-IR reveals it best → Lipids + inflammation confirm it → Visceral fat drives the whole process → C-peptide adds depth in specific cases
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
If you're "doing everything right" but still: → low energy → rising sugar → stubborn weight You're likely missing these markers. Fix the data → Fix the metabolism Book a call: https://calendly.com/youpeak1/discovery-call

High triglycerides aren’t a blood problem. They’re a LIVER overload signal. Most people (and doctors) miss this: https://t.co/s9z34EWH1k

FASTING done wrong can DESTROY your WELL-BEING! In my clinic, I meet people trying to “fast for health” but ending up tired, inflamed, and metabolically worse. Here are 10 common fasting mistakes I see, and how to fix them before they wreck your well-being:
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
1. Fasting with high stress = hormonal disaster Cortisol is already high in many professionals juggling work, family & deadlines. Add fasting → sky-high cortisol → muscle loss, insulin resistance, sleep disruption. Fix: Lower stress before extending fasts.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
2. Skipping breakfast = metabolic mayhem You skip breakfast thinking it's healthy... but: • Blood sugar rises • Cravings explode • You overeat at night
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Fix: Start with a 30–40g protein breakfast → stabilises insulin, shuts down cravings.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
3. Fasting while undernourished = brain fog If your diet is low in protein, B vitamins, electrolytes, or omega-3s... Fasting drains your reserves even more. Fix: Nourish first. Fast second.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
4. Fasting without sleep = zero benefit If you're sleeping <6 hours, fasting stresses the body even more. Sleep deprivation = insulin resistance + increased hunger hormones. Fix: Prioritize 7–8 hours sleep before fasting protocols.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
5. No electrolytes = headaches, dizziness, fatigue You’re not tired because of fasting - You’re tired because you’re dehydrated & low in sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Fix: Add electrolytes, sea salt, or bone broth during your fast.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
6. Eating window too short = nutrient deficiencies 4-hour windows are trendy. But most people can’t get enough protein, fiber, or micronutrients in that time. Fix: Start with a 10-hour eating window and focus on meal quality.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
7. Fasting with insulin resistance = mixed results If you’re insulin-resistant and still eating high-carb, low-protein meals in your window, fasting won’t work. Fix: Prioritize protein + fiber + healthy fats in meals to repair metabolism.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
8. Using fasting to compensate for a poor diet Fasting doesn't erase processed junk. If your diet is still full of sugar, seed oils, and low-quality food— You’re just extending damage. Fix: Clean up food quality first.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
9. Blindly copying influencers = disaster What worked for a biohacker or athlete might wreck a tired mom or burned-out CEO. Fasting is not one-size-fits-all. Fix: Personalize your fasting window to your biology, not internet trends.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
10. Fasting without healing your gut = trouble If you have IBS, bloating, or low stomach acid, fasting can worsen dysbiosis and reduce digestive capacity. Fix: Heal your gut first. Then introduce fasting gradually.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Fasting is a tool. Not a fix-all. Used correctly, it can reverse diabetes, repair inflammation, and extend lifespan. Used incorrectly, it burns you out and worsens metabolic dysfunction.

The people winning in life aren’t always smarter. They’re just more FOCUSED. Your ATTENTION is the most expensive currency in the world, and most of us are giving it away for FREE. Thread on how attention management predicts SUCCESS (and how to master it):
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
1. You’re being robbed every second you’re online Trillion-dollar industries exist to hijack your attention. They don't want your money first—they want your focus.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Average person: • Checks phone 96x/day • Spends 7+ hours on screens • Takes 23 minutes to refocus after a ping Your scattered attention is making billionaires while keeping you broke, anxious, and unfulfilled.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
2. The world’s top performers build predictable lives From Jobs to Obama, successful people simplify daily choices to protect mental energy. They don’t rely on willpower—they engineer environments for focus.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Why? • Average person makes 35,000 decisions/day • Decision fatigue = lost creative power • Predictability = bandwidth for greatness Simplicity = Performance.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
3. Deep work is the new superpower In a distracted world, deep focus is rare, and insanely valuable. Deep work: • Builds rare skills • Creates 10–100x more value/hour • Separates leaders from commodity workers
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
The formula: Deep Work Time × Intensity of Focus = Value Created Want a competitive edge? Master this.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
4. Attention isn't just protected—It's engineered Success isn’t about resisting distraction. It’s about eliminating it. Design your day like your future depends on it, because it does.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
The 4-Level Defense System: • Digital firewalls (airplane mode, no apps) • Environmental cues (clean desk, focus rituals) • Time blocks (batch tasks, peak hour deep work) • Social shields ("Do Not Disturb" culture, saying NO)
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
5. Win the first 2 Hours, Win the day What you do in the morning shapes your biology, productivity, and mood. But most people start by… • Reacting to messages • Scrolling news/socials • Letting others set their tone Flip it.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Protected Morning Protocol: • No screens for 60–90 mins • Movement, sunlight, breathing • Deep work first, then the world Guard your morning like your dreams depend on it.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
6. Attention must be recharged, or it breaks Just like muscles, your attention needs rest to grow stronger.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Recharge rituals: • Meditation (train your focus) • Reading (rebuild attention span) • Deep sleep (clean mental clutter) • Nature walks (reset brain circuits) • Exercise (boost BDNF + neuroplasticity) Recovery isn’t a luxury, it’s required.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
7. The silent killer: Continuous partial attention Always “on,” but never really there. Multitasking feels productive. It’s not.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Hidden costs: • More errors • Weaker memory • Shallow relationships • Higher cortisol + anxiety Being half-present everywhere = fully effective nowhere.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
8. Your attention is a portfolio. Invest wisely. Like money, where you invest your attention determines your future.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
High-return focus: • Skill building • Creative output • Health optimization • Strategic relationships
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Low-return drains: • Gossip • News rage • Mindless scrolling • Passive entertainment Guard it like your financial life depends on it - because your life does.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
9. Attention compounds like wealth Small daily wins in focus = life-changing results over time. 1% daily improvement = 37x growth in a year
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
• Year 1 → Better output + energy • Year 5 → Deep expertise, career leaps • Year 10 → Mastery, freedom, fulfillment Focus now. Prosper later.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
10. The attention mastery protocol Week 1-2: Audit • Track screen time + triggers Week 3-4: Design • Build digital and physical boundaries
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Week 5-8: Install • Deep work blocks + protected mornings Week 9-12: Optimize • Add recovery rituals + teach others • Discipline doesn’t come first. Design does.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
In the Attention Economy… • Your fatigue is by design • Your focus is the product • Your distraction is their profit But those who master attention are quietly building wealth, peace, and purpose. They don’t consume the world. They create it.
@dr_sumit_sharma - Dr Sumit Sharma
Your attention is your life. Where you spend it is who you become. In a world fighting for your focus, the real revolution is reclaiming it. Start today. Start small. And never let the world steal your mind again.
