I’m obese(103 kgs at 5’5, 24F) and have all IR symptoms, but labs are normal

Hello all

I completely believe I have crazy level of IR, because I have intense amount of sugar cravings, belly fat, so hard to loose weight and severe acanthosis nigricans, skin tags and inflammation in my hands when I eat high carbs.

I’ve been in metformin for 3 years, and I recently switched to Berberine and DIM(to manage my PMDD).

I did my IR and vitD, b12 and PCOS hormone tests

Here are my results: HOMA IR: 1.81 Fasting insulin: 14.90 HbA1c: 4.8

VitD: 16 ng/ml (highly deficient) B12: 148 PG/ ml (deficient) Total testosterone: 31 ng/dl

No TSH or other hormone imbalances

Please help me understand why do I have IR symptoms when I do not have IR on paper. Why am I not loosing weight even being on low carb and doing intermittent fasting
