How likely can one get insulin resistance when not having any of the risk factors?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin Resistance: This diagnosis implies obesity or over eating carbohydrates and sugars. If you have a tendency genetically to diabetes then this may be a sign of that. But, if you have no common risk factors than genetics may be to blame.
