Insulin resistance is topic that deserves alot of attention because most people do not understand the topic. About 7 years ago, I attended a conference on obesity and I realized that I may have insulin resistance. After talking to my doctor, I was diagnosed with insulin resistance. Today, I want to share my experience and knowledge with you. My goal is to provide you with a simple, general overview.
Insulin resistance is a condition where the body’s cell are less responsive to the hormone insulin. When the cells do not respond to insulin, the body reacts differently.
It is not Diabetes but if it is not treated it can lead into many different chronic medical problems.
It is important to understand how your body changes if you have insulin resistance. Here are some things you may see:
1. big round belly (abdominal fat)
2. hard to lose weight
3. high BMI
4. high triglyceride or cholestrol
5. high blood pressure
6. skin issues (bumps on back of arms/legs)
I encourage you to discuss this topic with your doctor today so that you can prevent chronic illnesses (Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, etc). Most important you need to learn to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Contact me today to discuss any questions.
