Understanding Insulin Resistance and Its Implications

This chapter delves into insulin resistance within muscle cells, explaining how the body responds to inefficient glucose transport with increased insulin levels, potentially leading to negative effects on other tissues. It explores methods to determine insulin resistance, such as fasting insulin level tests and the use of the homeostatic measure of insulin resistance equation. The chapter emphasizes the importance of monitoring insulin levels and discusses the impact of dietary patterns, CGM devices, and the role of exercise in improving insulin sensitivity.
