Insulin resistance is when your body produces insulin, but the cells in your body have become resistant to that insulin and are unable to use it effectively. Insulin resistance may be part of the metabolic syndrome, has been associated with higher risk of developing heart disease, and precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. My symptoms include lethargy, hunger, and brain fog. These symptoms can easily be written off as a reaction to stress, which is pretty much what I did.
Diseases or conditions associated with insulin resistance include:
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Abnormal cholesterol levels
- Heart disease
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
Because insulin is one of the major hormones, it’s impossible for your body to balance its minor hormones (for example, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) until your insulin metabolism is balanced first.
