SoWell, the at-home Fasting Insulin Test! Why Insulin? When you go to the doctor they test glucose and HbA1C, but not INSULIN! Over 50% of the population suffers from Insulin Resistance and it is at the root of diabetes, and many other chronic diseases.
Even if you ask your doctor for a fasting insulin test, they often REFUSE! If you get it, your doctor might say that anything below 23 is "fine" but ideally, you may not feel well unless it's somewhere between 2-5.
SoWell's at-home fasting insulin test also tests: fasting glucose, HbA1C, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Vitamin B12, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides!

Use the code DANI10 to save 10% on this incredibly informative test!
