eli5: Insulin resistance

127 views

I’ve recently been tested for and confirmed to be “insulin resistant.” I know that it has to do with sugar and energy and glucose, but I’m confused about it. I’d like to work on reversing it, but I need to understand what it is better for me to convince myself to change my habits. TIA

ETA: I’m aware of the consequence that it can become diabetes & im very willing to make changes, I just have a weird brain that needs to understand WHY changes are important. I don’t want to be diabetic, but I want to know a basic explanation of what insulin resistance is.

Your body has reached a point where insulin no longer works properly due to having too much sugar intake. It doesn’t properly regulate your blood sugar levels, and if you keep going the way you are without doing anything about it, you will become diabetic and it will eventually kill you. Do what you doctor is telling you, don’t be stupid and ignore it or not care, unless you don’t care about what you are going to do to yourself through willful negligence.
