What is the body chemistry associated with insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance is characterized by a decreased response to insulin in target tissues, leading to higher blood sugar levels. This can result from various factors, including genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, and inflammation. Insulin resistance is often accompanied by alterations in lipid metabolism, increased levels of free fatty acids in the blood, and changes in adipokine secretion from fat cells.

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.
