What Is Insulin Resistance?

When Cells Stop Responding to Insulin

When cells become resistant to insulin, the pancreas compensates by producing more - but eventually cannot keep up, leading to rising blood glucose and, ultimately, type 2 diabetes.

Insulin resistance underlies the majority of type 2 diabetes cases, drives PCOS in many women, causes fatty liver disease (MASLD), and significantly increases cardiovascular risk. It is often silent for years before blood glucose rises to diabetic levels.

Who Should Be Assessed?

Risk Factors for Insulin Resistance

  • Overweight or obesity (BMI >25), especially central/abdominal fat
  • Family history of type 2 diabetes
  • PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)
  • Pre-diabetes (HbA1c 42-47 mmol/mol)
  • Gestational diabetes in past pregnancy
  • High triglycerides or low HDL cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MASLD)
  • Fatigue, brain fog, sugar cravings - often early symptoms
