Not that Common: Although some people can be born with Insulin Resistance as direct result of Genetics What that means is that you are predisposed to Insulin Resistance and you still can defer the syndrome of Insulin Resistance or Full Blown Diabetes and Metabolic disorder by taking care of your body by Proper eating habits limiting carbs,saturated fats and overeating and life style to prevent Obesity
