Insulin Resistance

Understanding Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition where the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This leads to elevated blood glucose levels, which can eventually result in type 2 diabetes and other health complications. Insulin resistance often develops due to a combination of genetic factors, poor diet, physical inactivity, and obesity. Common symptoms may include fatigue, hunger, difficulty concentrating, and weight gain, though many individuals may be unaware of the condition until more serious health issues arise. Understanding insulin resistance is crucial for effective management and prevention of associated diseases, as early intervention can significantly improve long-term health outcomes.
