If your cells become too resistant to insulin, it leads to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which, over time, leads to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a HLA - PANEL REACTIVE ANTIBODIES (PRA) SCREEN - CLASS I & II QUALITATIVE Test or Take a DCP-DECARBOXY PROTHROMBIN PIVKA-II Test
