Insulin, a critical hormone, regulates how body cells access energy for proper function.,
After meals, food is converted into glucose, leading to a temporary rise in blood sugar levels.
The pancreas responds by releasing insulin, facilitating the transfer of sugar from the blood to muscle, liver, and fat cells for energy.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body's response to insulin is inefficient, prompting the pancreas to release excessive insulin to control blood sugar.
Prolonged insulin resistance strains the pancreas, making it challenging to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
This condition serves as a precursor to health issues like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and obesity.
