Insulin resistance is a condition where the body resists the effects of insulin due to high carb intake. This protective mechanism is meant to prevent glucose toxicity. While blood sugar levels may appear normal, insulin resistance can lead to various symptoms such as fatigue, frequent urination, and carbohydrate cravings. Insulin resistance gradually progresses to prediabetes and eventually diabetes, with the pancreas working overtime to produce insulin. However, the underlying issue of insulin resistance is often overlooked as medical professionals primarily focus on blood sugar levels rather than testing insulin directly.
