Adherence
Management of insulin resistance through lifestyle interventions (diet and exercise) and pharmacological agents is effective, although no medication is currently specifically approved solely for treating insulin resistance.
Focus on sustainable lifestyle changes: eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. These are the proven ways to manage insulin resistance. Do not wait for a specific 'IR medication' as none exists; use existing tools like Metformin only if prescribed for diabetes or other conditions.
