Dr. Berg answers the question: Why do I have insulin resistance but normal A1C? This has to do with the time it takes a higher level of insulin to affect blood sugars. At first, it is subclinical, then the clinic, and then disease. In some cases, it takes 10 years for insulin resistance to turn into diabetes. The best test to identify insulin resistance is a fasting insulin test, which is different than a fasting glucose test.
