Skin and Waist Changes May Signal Improving Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin sensitivity describes how well the body responds to insulin.

When sensitivity improves, some changes may be visible.

These changes might happen before a blood test shows improvement.

Skin changes can be one possible clue.

A condition called acanthosis nigricans creates darker, thicker, velvety skin.

It often appears on the neck or underarms.

Changes in waist size may also provide information, according to the article.

People should ask a health professional before starting any new routine.
