That is a risk factor for several life-threatening diseases. And it takes ages to remove it. I think my current struggle to lower WHR is still a consequence of supplementing glucosamide for three years. Glucosamide increases insulin resistance.
I understand ... there are more plus'es to having insulin low as well as reduced insulin sensitivity. I just found it interesting that lower insulin level appears to cause the creation of less estrogens ... another place for a fine line of balance most likley.
This endocrine system is a very Intricate one.
