Insulin resistance is a condition that occurs when the body’s cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin, which plays a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels.

Over time, this can lead to the development of serious health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Fortunately, following an insulin resistance diet has been shown to have numerous health benefits, even for people who don’t have diabetes, or aren’t overweight or obese.

Insulin Resistance Can Affect Anyone

Insulin resistance is a condition that can affect anyone—temporarily or chronically. Left untreated, chronic insulin resistance could lead to prediabetes and eventually Type 2 diabetes.
