More about your care
What is it?
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells respond less effectively to insulin, forcing the pancreas to produce more of it to keep blood glucose levels under control.
Over time, this extra effort can exhaust the pancreas and raise blood glucose, marking the path toward prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Detecting insulin resistance early allows intervention before it progresses.
This condition is closely linked to excess weight, especially abdominal fat, and to genetic factors. Weight loss and exercise are the most effective interventions to improve it.
Read the full condition information
Insulin resistance usually improves with targeted weight loss and habit changes. The doctor assesses whether a treatment speeds up the process.
HOW COMMON IT IS
A widespread metabolic alteration that often goes unnoticed because it produces no obvious symptoms until blood glucose begins to rise.
CAUSES
- Excess abdominal and visceral fat
- Sedentary lifestyle and low physical activity
- Diet high in refined sugars and fast-absorbing carbohydrates
- Genetic factors and family history of type 2 diabetes
- Sleep disturbances and circadian rhythm disruption
- Low-grade chronic inflammation
TREATMENT APPROACHES
- Moderate weight loss (5-10% of body weight) under medical supervision
- Combined aerobic and resistance exercise to improve insulin sensitivity
- Dietary plan low in refined carbohydrates and high in fibre
- Pharmacological treatment with metformin or others as assessed by the doctor
- Monitoring of glucose and metabolic markers
- Stress management and improved sleep quality
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
See a doctor if you are overweight or have obesity with a family history of type 2 diabetes, or if previous blood tests have shown slightly elevated glucose.
