Insulin Resistance Syndrome
Insulin resistance syndrome is a metabolic condition in which the cells respond poorly to the action of insulin, which forces the body to produce larger amounts to keep blood sugar levels in balance. Over time it may be associated with other metabolic disorders.
How it presents: It often produces no obvious symptoms; it may be related to weight gain, tiredness, or skin changes, and be detected in routine tests.
Why it matters: It is linked to a higher risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular problems, so its early identification is valuable.
Which specialist treats it? The diabetologist, the internist, and the nutritionist work on its management, with support from professionals in obesity and from the general practitioner. Adopting healthy habits and maintaining professional follow-up are key steps worth considering with a specialist.
