Do you have skin tags on your neck or armpits? Is your waist expanding even when your weight barely changes?
Both are your body sending you a signal about your insulin — not your blood sugar, your insulin.
Skin tags are a clinical marker of chronically elevated insulin. Insulin stimulates a growth factor that causes skin cells to overgrow. Your body is not doing this randomly.
The expanding waist is the same signal. Insulin is the primary fat storage hormone. Chronic elevation means constant fat storage — particularly visceral fat, the kind that sits around your organs and deepens insulin resistance further.
Both signs can appear years before your HbA1c or fasting glucose crosses the diabetic threshold. The measurement that would confirm it — fasting insulin — is not on the standard blood panel.
Your body has already told you something. The question is whether you act now or wait.
