An Early Warning System

Insulin resistance is a major component of Metabolic Syndrome and is a firm step on the road to type 2 diabetes. It should be taken as a serious warning of potential degenerative disease. Not only is insulin resistance indicative of diabetes risk, it is also very closely tied with cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks, strokes and atherosclerosis.

As with any degenerative disease, prevention is far easier and more effective than treatment once the disease has taken hold.

Insulin resistance is a silent condition that increases the chances of developing diabetes and heart disease. Learning about insulin resistance is the first step you can take toward making lifestyle changes that will help you prevent diabetes and other health problems.
