Insulin resistance, hypertension and obesity: three sides of the same risk

Why are they linked?

High blood sugar & insulin resistance

If blood sugar remains high for months without you noticing, the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and stroke increases. The problem is that it often doesn't show clear symptoms: without regular home measurements, you only notice when something goes wrong.

High blood pressure & heart

High blood pressure is known as the "silent killer" because it can damage your heart, brain, and kidneys for years without making you feel ill. If you only check your blood pressure at the pharmacy or at the doctor's, you may miss dangerous spikes that increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Overweight & rischio cardiometabolico

Being overweight doesn’t just mean "a few extra pounds": it increases the likelihood of insulin resistance, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Without keeping an eye on weight and waist circumference, cardiometabolic risk silently increases until the doctor finds out-of-control values.

Where do you want to start?

Blood sugar

Perfect if your doctor has told you about high blood sugar, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes and you want to start measuring at home in a simple way

Press

Ideal if you have high blood pressure, a family history of heart problems, or want to check if your treatment is working over time.

Weight & Body Composition

For those who are overweight or obese and want to monitor not only their weight, but also their fat and muscle mass, to understand if their journey is working.

Blood sugar and insulin resistance

Quando il corpo diventa meno sensibile all’insulina, la glicemia tende a restare alta più a lungo, spesso senza dare sintomi evidenti. Misurare regolarmente la glicemia a casa ti aiuta a capire se dieta, farmaci e movimento stanno funzionando e a prevenire complicanze cardiovascolari nel tempo.

Come gestire a casa

  • Misura la glicemia sempre agli stessi orari.
  • Annota i valori in un diario o app.
  • Porta i dati alle visite dal tuo medico.

High blood pressure and hypertension

High blood pressure is often silent, but over time it significantly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Having a reliable blood pressure monitor at home allows you to check your readings at different times of the day and present your doctor with a more complete picture, not just the measurement taken in the clinic.

How to manage at home

  • Measure your blood pressure while seated and relaxed.
  • Repeat measurements on different days.
  • Do not change your therapy without consulting your doctor.

Weight, obesity, and body composition

Il peso sulla bilancia è solo una parte della storia: conta anche quanta parte è massa grassa e quanta è muscolo. Monitorare peso e composizione corporea a casa ti aiuta a capire se la strada che hai scelto (dieta, attività fisica, terapia) sta davvero migliorando il tuo profilo di rischio per diabete e malattie cardiovascolari.

Come gestire a casa?

  • Pesati alla stessa ora, con pochi vestiti.
  • Controlla anche circonferenza vita e andamento nel tempo.
  • Abbina alimentazione, movimento e monitoraggio regolare

Practical questions to take charge of your health and reduce risk over time

Do I need to have a diagnosis already to start home measurements?

No. Molte persone iniziano a misurare la glicemia, la pressione o il peso perché il medico ha parlato di "valori ai limiti" o di fattori di rischio (familiarità, sovrappeso, stile di vita). Misurare a casa non sostituisce il medico, ma ti aiuta ad arrivare alla visita con dati più completi.

How many times a day should I check my blood sugar?


Dipende dal tuo percorso e da quello che ti ha indicato il medico, ma in molti casi si parte con misurazioni al mattino a digiuno e, se necessario, prima o dopo i pasti principali. Il medico potrà poi adattare frequenza e orari in base ai tuoi valori.​

When is the best time to measure blood pressure at home?

It is usually recommended to measure blood pressure in the morning and in the evening, always at the same time, in a quiet environment, sitting and relaxed for a few minutes. It is important to use a validated upper arm monitor and always follow the same conditions.

Are the devices compatible with the app?

Tutti i dispositivi intelligenti (bilance, corda smart, misuratori, ecc.) sono compatibili con l’app dedicata indicata nella pagina prodotto. L’associazione via Bluetooth è semplice e veloce.

Are these devices safe to use?

Yes. All products are designed with safe materials, certifications and technologies in compliance with European standards.
