First-line treatments

1

Healthy lifestyle changes and stress management

Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.

lifestyle
2

Regular Physical Activity Program

Structured exercise regimen including both aerobic and resistance training to improve insulin sensitivity. Regular physical activity helps cells respond better to insulin and reduces fasting insulin levels.

lifestyle
3

Low Glycemic Index Diet

Dietary approach focusing on foods that cause gradual, steady rises in blood sugar rather than spikes. Emphasizes whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and lean proteins.

Additional treatment options

Fasting Insulin Monitoring

Regular monitoring of fasting insulin levels to track response to interventions and disease progression. Helps healthcare providers adjust management strategies accordingly.

monitoring

Stress Management Techniques

Incorporation of relaxation practices such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to reduce cortisol levels, which can positively influence insulin sensitivity.

complementary

Fiber-Rich Nutrition Plan

Increased consumption of soluble fiber from sources like oats, beans, and fruits to slow carbohydrate absorption and improve metabolic parameters.
