Dr Chris Thompson says Whitehall II links fasting insulin to earlier diabetes risk

What was said

""They saw that if someone had high fasting insulin, they're more likely to get diabetes long term. So, so and it was a long period of time. It was like a 10 15 year time. They could detect this thing 15 years earlier.""

Dr Chris Thompson cites the Whitehall II study and says higher fasting insulin was linked to later diabetes, detectable 10–15 years in advance. He argues routine care often overlooks fasting insulin and recommends earlier metabolic-risk checks, including limited use of continuous glucose monitors.
