Since insulin resistance is a condition that precedes the appearance of symptoms of a number of different disorders, its prognosis depends in part on the patient's age, ethnicity, family history, and severity of any current health problems.
In mild asymptomatic insulin resistance, proper treatment may lead to a complete reversal, with normalization of blood sugar.
Even if complete normalization is impossible, treatment will lead to control of the condition, and a significant reduction in its rate of progression to diabetes.
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.
The prognosis for TGA patients is excellent
Diabetes Mellitus
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
Prognosis of eisenmengers sydrome
Example sentence - The prognosis for the patient was on the optimistic side.
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
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.
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
A hypoglycemic patient should not use insulin. It will drop his glucose even further.
