Yes, insulin resistance can often be reversed or significantly improved through lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication. Here are some key strategies:

  • Weight Loss: Losing even a small amount of weight can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Healthy Diet: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, fiber, and low in refined sugars and processed foods.
  • Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps your muscles use glucose more effectively, reducing insulin resistance.
  • Medication: In some cases, doctors may prescribe medications like metformin to help manage insulin resistance.

It's important to work with a healthcare provider to create a personalized plan for managing insulin resistance.
