This study shows that 81% of acne patients have insulin resistance.

What is the most common cause of insulin resistance? Snacking, this is because snacks usually are high in carbohydrates and low in other macronutrients, which causes a sharp spike in blood sugar, over time this can cause insulin resistance.

However, carbohydrates itself are not the problem, the problem is blood sugar spikes, this can be mitigated while still eating sufficient amounts of carbohydrates by just eating 3 large meals a day, with close to equal amounts of all macronutrients.

HbA1c test, or fasting glucose test with glucometer you can buy over the counter. Try to stay under 85mg/dL
