Blood sugar & insulin
The fatty liver plan
Fatty liver (now called MASLD) is the liver filling with fat because insulin keeps it in storage mode. It often reverses: cut sugar and refined carbs, skip alcohol, eat in a window, fast, lift and walk. Losing 5% of your weight cuts liver fat; 10% often clears inflammation and can shrink early scarring. Check for fibrosis first, with your doctor.

The insulin resistance plan
Insulin resistance shows up in your insulin, triglycerides and waist years before it shows up in your blood sugar. Test fasting insulin, not just glucose. Then lower it: cut sugar and refined carbs, eat in a window, fast once a week, lift, walk and sleep. Retest at 3 months, before it becomes prediabetes.

The PCOS plan
Most women with PCOS are insulin resistant, lean ones included, and high insulin pushes the ovaries to make more testosterone. Lower the insulin: cut sugar and refined carbs, eat in a window, lift and walk, sleep. Losing 5–10% of your weight, if you carry extra, often brings cycles back. Your doctor handles the rest.

The prediabetes plan
Prediabetes means years of high insulin have started to show up in your blood sugar. For many people it’s reversible: cut sugar and refined carbs, eat in a window, fast once a week, lift and walk, and retest HbA1c at 4–6 months. In trials, getting back to normal glucose even once cut later diabetes risk by about half.

The type 2 diabetes plan
For many people, type 2 diabetes can go into remission: HbA1c under 6.5% for three months without diabetes medication. The levers are lower insulin and less liver fat: cut refined carbs, eat in a window, fast, lift and walk. Step one is your doctor, because the medication has to come down as the numbers do.
