What is Insulin Resistance?

The Facts About Insulin Resistance According to Everyday Health, your body “breaks down carbs into glucose, or sugar, which is then released into your bloodstream [for energy].” In order for glucose to be properly absorbed, you need healthy levels of insulin, a hormone produced in your pancreas. Insulin resistance is when your body needs more insulin to absorb glucose into your cells, which can lead to a high blood sugar levels. Symptoms of Insulin Resistance You could be insulin resistant for years without showing any symptoms which is why it’s important for regular blood glucose level check-ups, like A1C testing. The only known symptoms are occasionally fatigue or dark patches formed on the skin (acanthuses nigricans). Insulin resistance increases your risk of pre-diabetes, diabetes, and other diseases if left untreated. Learn more about them here. Ways To Help Prevent Insulin Resistance:
