Abstract:
Decreased insulin sensitivity patients, although normal-weight, are treated with a "prudent" hypocaloric diet and exercise, in order to reduce insulin resistance. Metabolic (glycolipidic) alterations can be easily diagnosed by combination of clinic and laboratory tests. A diet model aimed at controlling insulin levels and inducing a light weight loss is proposed.
