It's normal for our bodies to start breaking down and not able to handle as much garbage we throw its way over time. It may be normal for our insulin sensitivity to change, but it's not a healthy sign. I disagree that it's "normal and healthy". When we are young our bodies are very resilient. We just aren't smart enough to recognize that we are damaging our bodies. As a college athlete, I consumed a pint of B&J ice cream after most practices. I easily handled the calories, but I certainly damaged my metabolic health.I just looked that up, wow, yes it is, range of 7 to 8.
so maybe my 6.1 isn't so terrible at age 75
