It is important to reverse insulin resistance because otherwise this condition will cause prediabetes, then type 2 diabetes, a serious life-long condition. Everyone's body produces this hormone, which works to make glucose in the blood enter the muscle, fat and liver cells. However, if these cells do not respond correctly to the hormone released, the pancreas have to make more and more. Eventually, they are no longer able to make enough, leading to too much glucose in the blood.
Anybody who is worried about this condition should see their doctor for professional advice. Some people are more likely to suffer from this problem than others, as there are a variety of contributory factors, some of which, such as ethnicity and old age, it is not possible to prevent. Certain hormones, medication, sleep problems can also lead to this condition, as can steroid use, smoking, obesity and lack of exercise. However, there are ways to correct the problem.
People who are very unfit should take particular attention to see a doctor and ask for advice on taking exercise. Some of the cells glucose moves into from the blood stream are muscle cells, and the more muscles move, and the more muscle mass there is in the body, the less the likelihood of glucose build-up in the blood. Exercise designed to increase muscle mass is obviously a great idea, as is aerobic exercise. Some people may be too unfit to suddenly take up running or weight lifting, but anyone can start with a few gentle walks, as this is a small step in the right direction.
Obesity is a risk factor for developing diabetes, so obviously losing weight is a sensible idea. Exercise will help with this, as will going on a diet. Again, a doctor can be consulted for help with this. Fat around the waist is a particular problem because these cells produce hormones and other substances which can cause problems, so this is an important area to focus on.
People who smoke should plan to stop because smoking is another thing that can cause this condition, as well as other serious diseases. There are a wide variety of products and medications available to help quit. If someone is struggling to give up it is worthwhile visiting a health-care professional for help and advice.
Some studies have shown that vitamin D can help, but some scientists dispute this. However, it is well known that some darker-skinner people living in less sunny climates may struggle to get the amount of vitamin D they need. If this is a concern, a doctor will advise whether a supplement is necessary.
Diet is very important and not just for losing weight. If a diet is made up largely of processed high carbohydrate foods, these will cause the consumer's blood sugar to spike when they are eaten, making it harder for the body to keep it at the correct level. So it's far healthier to eat home-cooked and low carbohydrate meals. These should also be low fat, because high cholesterol levels is another risk factor.
As diabetes is a serious illness, it is vital to try to reverse insulin resistance. Fortunately, this is possible by making attempts to change to a healthier life-style. This will also have various other benefits to the person.
