Ozgen; He said that insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose in our blood enter cells in the muscle, fat and liver, where it is used for energy.
Dr. Instructor Member Arzu Özgen continued her statements as follows:
"Insulin resistance is when muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond well to insulin and cannot easily take glucose from the blood. Therefore, the pancreas produces more insulin to help glucose get into the cells. Over time, cells stop responding to insulin and become insulin resistant. The pancreas "It continues to produce more insulin to get it to respond, eventually the pancreas can't keep up and blood sugar continues to rise. When the liver cells that store the blood sugar are full, the excess blood sugar is stored in the fat cells."
"There may be many underlying causes, for example obesity and pregnancy, which is one of the most common, some medications, hormones secreted in response to stress, insulin antibodies. Insulin resistance can occur in many ways in the clinic. For example, Type 2 insulin resistance associated with obesity. diabetes, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, liver disease, some cancers."
"The diagnosis of insulin resistance with obesity is made by clinical findings, which are also similar to the findings of metabolic syndrome. These are hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and hypertension. Metabolic syndrome is also called insulin resistance syndrome or syndrome X. Metabolic syndrome, Type 2 is an important risk factor for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Increased body weight is one of the biggest risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Other risk factors include age, smoking and physical inactivity. Lifestyle changes including weight loss and physical activity, Type 2 treatment "It is important to prevent diabetes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. These measures are also effective in preventing Type 2 diabetes."
