Insulin Sensitivity Timeline

Meaning

Insulin Sensitivity Timeline refers to the dynamic, longitudinal measure of how efficiently and responsively an individual’s cells react to the hormone insulin over a period of weeks, months, or years. This clinical metric tracks the progression or regression of the body’s ability to clear glucose from the bloodstream, moving beyond a single snapshot measurement to assess the cumulative effect of lifestyle, genetics, and interventions on metabolic health. Monitoring this timeline is critical for the early detection and management of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes risk.
