On fasting, I have 18 for IR. I am insecure to wear sleeveless because this dark patchy is showing up. Im underweight. Is there anyway i can reduce this?

Does this look like Insulin Resistance?

Showed the doctor the results, and she basically dismissed me, saying we will do another test after 6 months. She gave generic advice saying to avoid junk and processed food and to drink alot of water.

What do you think? I mainly went and did the test because of the darkness.

I went to consult with nothing but an intuition that I could be insulin resistant or prediabetic based on my cravings(sugar intake), sedentary lifestyle and hyper pigmentation on my neck and underarms, fatigue.

I am 24, 5’1 and 52kgs.

I am honestly not educated enough about this. All the doctors previously when I had mentioned this, they never took me seriously. Including todays doctor, but I insisted to take the test.

And now when I got the results, I don’t know where to start.

I also feel like this could be an error? Could it? 585 to 50 seems very ridiculous, right? I don’t know.

Does anyone have any idea on what should the next steps be?
