What is the difference between diabetes and insulin resistance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adult diabetes is a metabolic disorder of glucose metabolism where in simple terms, you don't make enough of your own insulin to keep your blood sugar in the normal range. Insulin resistance is a term used as an advertising gimmick to sell dietary supplements.
