Can someone explain insulin resistence as it relates to Diabetes?please.?

you eat a lot of carbohydrates/fat but don't workout to burn the calories..

If this happens for a long period of time, your body cells which carry blood have excess of sugar... soon, the Insulin which your Pancreas produce becomes inefective or less efective, this makes Pancreas produce more Insulin to burn off the sugar in your body cell and to break a wall which prevents it from becoming effective.
Of course, your Pancreas cannot produce high levels of Insulin for a long period of time. That's when your Pancreas stop working and you get Diabetes as your Pancreas stop producing Insulin.


Here are the symptoms of Insulin Resistance -
1. Fatigue , you get tired very easily..
2. Brain fogginess and inability to focus. Sometimes the fatigue is physical, but often it is mental.
3. Low blood sugar.
4. Intestinal bloating. Most intestinal gas is produced from carbohydrates in the diet. Insulin resistance sufferers who eat carbohydrates sometimes suffer from gas.
5. Sleepiness, you sleep after having a meal
6. Weight gain, increase in body hair
7. Depression.

Insulin Resistance is sort of like a warning before a person gets Diabetes ...

If you have Insulin Resistance, the treatment is -
1. Eat less fat/carbohydrates ... Reduce your carbohydrate/fat intake by atleast 40%
2. More Physical Activity... Play as much as u can, Workout as long as you can...
3. Try to stay in a liquid diet ... Do Drink a lot of water.
4. Always have breakfast.
5. Instead of having 3 big meals... have 5 small ones
6. Eat Brocoli (Recent Studies have shown that Eating brocoli might help reverse the effects of Diabetes)

Insulin resistance can be linked to diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease and other abnormalities. These abnormalities constitute the insulin resistance syndrome. Because resistance usually develops long before these diseases appear, identifying and treating insulin-resistant patients has potentially great preventive value. Insulin resistance should be suspected in patients with a history of diabetes in first-degree relatives; patients with a personal history of gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome or impaired glucose tolerance; and obese patients, particularly those with abdominal obesity. Present treatment consists of sensible lifestyle changes, including weight loss to attain healthy body weight, 30 minutes of accumulated moderate-intensity physical activity per day and increased dietary fiber intake. Pharmacotherapy is not currently recommended for patients with isolated insulin resistance.

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE REFERENCE


Insulin resistance relates the the cells inability to take up insulin....Diabetes is a very complex disease.

diabetes is a hard disease to completely figure out...the easiest way to explain it is that each cell has to have two things to survive...sugar and oxygen....well think of the cell as a house....and insulin as a key to get into that house...so if sugar wants to get into the house...it needs a key(insulin)...but if there is no key.....sugar cant get into the house...so the house is destroyed...so the doctor has to replace the key to save the house............it's a lot easier with pictures...lol

Basically when you take a drug your body builds up a tolerance to it.

so the results of a small dosage can't be achieved by that dosage thus the dosage must be increased or switched to another type of insulin.
