Insulin Resistance: The Early Signs Nurses Must Know #shorts
Comment “BLOOD SUGAR” on Instagram @yournursingeducator
And I’ll send you my cheat sheet with insulin basics and red flags to watch for in clinicals 🧠
Still saying “cut sugar” without understanding insulin
Insulin moves glucose into cells
Without it, glucose just floats and causes damage
Too much sugar? Hyperglycemia
Too much insulin? Hypoglycemia 🍬
Spike-crash cycles lead to insulin resistance
That’s the start of type 2 diabetes
Fix it by:
• Eating more fiber
• Balancing protein and fat
• Spacing out meals
• Watching for hidden sugars in drinks and snacks 🍽️
Watch for these signs in your patients:
Fatigue, central weight gain, skin changes, increased hunger
They’ll say “I crash after meals”
That’s your cue to educate, not just medicate 🚨
