FAQ
Physiologic Insulin Resensitization® (PIR®) Treatment
What is Physiologic Insulin Resensitization (PIR)?
PIR is a multi-patented protocol supported by research, designed to help the body use insulin more effectively. Instead of just lowering blood glucose, PIR focuses on helping restore your cells’ sensitivity to insulin, which may help address the root cause of insulin resistance.
How is PIR different from standard insulin Treatment?
Traditional insulin Treatment delivers insulin in large doses to control blood glucose. PIR uses small, physiologic doses of insulin delivered in discrete units through an IV. This is representative of how a healthy pancreas releases insulin, and may help improve how your body metabolizes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Who can benefit from PIR?
PIR may benefit patients with:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome
- Pre-diabetes
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Other complications related to insulin resistance
Your provider will determine if you are a good candidate.
What happens during a PIR session?
During a session, you sit comfortably while a small IV delivers insulin in discrete units. At the same time, you’ll consume a small amount of glucose to stimulate your body’s natural response. Treatments usually last 2–3 hours.
How often do I need treatment?
Most patients start with weekly treatments. Over time, the frequency may be reduced based on your response and improvement. Each treatment plan is personalized.
How is PIR monitored?
Treatments are performed under medical supervision, and your blood glucose levels are monitored closely throughout the session.
Will PIR replace my current medications?
PIR is designed to work alongside your current treatment plan, as an additional tool in your physician’s toolkit. Any changes to your medications should only be made under your provider’s guidance.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice improvements in energy, circulation, or neuropathy symptoms after just a few sessions. For others, benefits build gradually over weeks or months of consistent treatment. Results may vary.
Does insurance cover PIR Treatment?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. Our office can help verify your benefits and discuss payment options if needed.
