How is insulin resistance prevented?
Insulin resistance is prevented by maintaining a normal weight, eating a balanced diet, and keeping up a regular program of aerobic exercise.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Insulin deficiency or resistance leads to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis?
Diabetes Mellitus
What is the body chemistry associated with insulin resistance?
High blood sugar from food stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin into the blood. However, in insulin resistance, the insulin is secreted but is only partially absorbed by the tissues.
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
How will fat stop insulin from functioning?
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to resond to insulin?
Insulin resistance.
Which adipokine promotes insulin resistance?
Retinol binding protein, TNF alpha, Interleukin, Chimerin are some. Some can reduce insulin resistance- Adiponectin
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
What is the prognosis for mild asymptomatic insulin resistance?
In mild asymptomatic insulin resistance, proper treatment may lead to a complete reversal, with normalization of blood sugar.
Which mineral helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels?
Magnesium helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Deficiency of Magnesium can lead to insulin resistance or deficeincy of insulin. Both insulin resistance and insulin deficiency can lead to diabetes.
Is Type 1 diabetes associated with insulin resistance?
