This COVID risk factor is under your control

This COVID risk factor is under your control

  If the last year has taught us one thing, it’s that having underlying co-morbidities with COVID dramatically increases your risk of serious complications, hospitalization and even death.  The “three biggies” here are high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. But the common denominator underlying all of these is insulin resistance.  Insulin resistance drives up your blood glucose level, triggering diabetes as well as stirring up the inflammation in your blood vessels that contributes to high...
