Women: insulin resistance--what is that?

Diminshed response : To insulin. People with type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetics, and those with metabolic syndrome have inadequate response to Insulin and tend to have elevated blood glucose. This can be reversed to a good extent by reducing carbohydrate intake, weight loss and increase in physical activity.

Diet, nutrition: When we consume too many high glycemic foods too much Insulin is released into the blood stream. This eventually leads to Insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and weight gain. The type 2 diabetes epidemic is a direct result of this. Most people do not understand that diet foods and drinks and sugar free products are loaded with artificial sweeteners which are much more of a problem!
