  1. What Is Insulin Resistance: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus http://www.our-diabetic-life.com/

  2. As a result, if one begins to get relevant information on Type 2 Diabetes you will often hear the term insulin resistance reported in the media. So what specifically does that term imply? Therefore, this medical term refers to the decreased capacity of some of the body’s cells to use insulin to convert blood sugar into glycogen. In a normal biological situation, one’s body turns carbs into glucose during the digestion process. You might know that sugar circulates through the body until a body cell picks it up. The cell needs to turn the glucose into a form of energy it can burn, namely glycogen. That is where insulin comes in. The cell grabs insulin out of the blood and uses it to turn glucose into glycogen. http://www.our-diabetic-life.com/

  3. When insulin resistance develops, the cells seem to ignore the insulin in the blood stream. They continue to send out the message that they require the insulin. In response, the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas start overproducing insulin. This will help lower levels of glucose for the short term. But, in the long run, the over manufacturing of insulin by the pancreas can lead to negative consequences. One is that the islets of Langerhans cannot keep up the pace of overproduction. This is likely from damage due to the overproduction of insulin or from the overconcentration. http://www.our-diabetic-life.com/

  4. Who is likely to develop insulin resistance? It is a reported fact excess body weight and a sedentary lifestyle are significant factors in the onset this resistance. It is a well known fact that genetics or familial background can additionally be a part of the picture as well. Be careful, don’t be comforted if no one in your family has Diabetes 2. Anyone, despite a clean family history, can develop type 2 diabetes mellitus if they carry too much weight or do not exercise enough. Insulin resistance develops without looking into your genetic or family background. In years gone by, this type of resistance started to develop at an older age. However, more and more people receive a diagnosis at younger ages. Subsequently, ever alarming is that in children and teens. http://www.our-diabetic-life.com/

  5. Insulin resistance is reversible in many people before type 2 diabetes develops. It means making the right changes early enough to count. It is a well known fact that exercise has a direct link with reducing the condition. With more exercise the less insulin resistance is likely. Losing weight also helps reduce the resistance. These changes are the same pre-diabetics and diabetics need to make. They are indeed smart ones for just about anyone else as well. http://www.our-diabetic-life.com/
