I have been diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance. I am curious about what it is and why does it makes me at a high risk for diabetes.
In:
Insulin resistance means your bodies cells are not responding to insulin like they should. Your body still makes insulin, but it isn’t used as effectively. The amount your body makes does not lower the blood sugar as much as it should in a normal person.
Once you become resistant to insulin enough, it is classed as type 2 diabetes. Diet and exercise can help keep your sugar in check and slow/prevent progression to diabetes.
