Have you noticed small, soft growths on your neck, underarms, or groin ?
These are commonly known as skin tags. While skin tags are harmless, in some cases they can be linked to insulin resistance - a condition where your body has difficulty managing blood sugar, which can lead to higher blood sugar levels over time.
Take note if you have many skin tags or if they appear suddenly. Chronically high insulin levels can stimulate excessive skin cell growth, leading to these benign growths.
The good news ?
Insulin resistance can often be diagnosed through a health check & blood test - and subsequently managed with early lifestyle interventions under proper medical guidance.
