Insulin resistance is a condition where cells in the body become less responsive to insulin, a hormone crucial for glucose uptake and metabolism. This reduced sensitivity can lead to elevated blood glucose levels, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. A key association is obesity, which often exacerbates insulin resistance through inflammatory pathways and altered fat distribution, making its management vital in preventing long-term complications.
