Symptoms of Insulin Resistance: Diabetes patients often have to face the problem of insulin resistance, so be sure to recognize its signs and get timely treatment and prevention. 

Insulin Resistance Signs: Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and converts food into energy. It is like a key that unlocks the cells, then glucose leaves the bloodstream and moves toward the cells. Our body uses glucose to produce energy. When our body stops responding to insulin, that condition is called 'insulin resistance'. This happens when the cells present in the liver, fat and muscles stop responding to insulin.
