Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells respond less effectively to insulin, the hormone that helps the body use glucose from the blood. As a result, the body needs to produce more to keep its balance.
How it relates to health: it may be associated with excess weight, certain lifestyle habits, and family history, and sometimes it produces no noticeable symptoms.
Why address it? Detecting it early makes it possible to care for metabolic health and prevent future complications.
Which specialist evaluates it? The endocrinologist, the general practitioner, and the dietitian can study this condition and offer guidance on healthy habits. If you have risk factors or questions, talking it over with one of these professionals is a good decision.
