🩺 INSULIN RESISTANCE — WHAT IS IT?

🔹 What is Insulin?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the β-cells of the pancreas. It helps glucose (sugar) move from the blood into body cells, where it is used for energy.

🔹 What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin.

➡️ The pancreas produces more insulin to compensate.
➡️ Over time, the pancreas may not be able to produce enough insulin.
➡️ Blood glucose levels then rise, increasing the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

⚠️ COMMON CAUSES & RISK FACTORS

• Overweight/abdominal obesity
• Physical inactivity
• Excess intake of sugary/refined foods
• Excess calories and unhealthy diet
• Family history of type 2 diabetes
• Increasing age
• Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS)
• Smoking
• Poor sleep and chronic stress
• Certain medications and hormonal disorders

🔴 EFFECTS OF INSULIN RESISTANCE

Early stage:
⬆️ Insulin levels
⬆️ Blood glucose may gradually increase

Long-term:
➡️ Prediabetes
➡️ Type 2 diabetes
➡️ Abdominal obesity
➡️ High triglycerides
➡️ Low HDL cholesterol
➡️ High blood pressure
➡️ Fatty liver
➡️ Increased cardiovascular risk

🚨 POSSIBLE WARNING SIGNS

Insulin resistance often causes no obvious symptoms in the early stage.

Some people may develop:
• Increased waist circumference
• Dark, velvety skin around the neck or armpits (acanthosis nigricans)
• Fatigue
• Increased hunger
• Difficulty losing weight

✅ HOW TO REDUCE INSULIN RESISTANCE

🥗 Eat a balanced, high-fiber diet
🏃 Exercise regularly
⚖️ Maintain a healthy body weight
😴 Get adequate sleep
🚭 Avoid smoking
🍬 Limit sugary drinks and highly refined carbohydrates
🩸 Check blood glucose/HbA1c when appropriate

📌 Remember: Insulin resistance can often be improved with lifestyle changes, especially when addressed early.
