It is important to reverse insulin resistance because otherwise this condition will cause prediabetes, then type 2 diabetes, a serious life-long condition. Everyone's body produces this hormone, which works to make glucose in the blood enter the muscle, fat and liver cells. However, if these cells do not respond correctly to the hormone released, the pancreas have to make more and more. Eventually, they are no longer able to make enough, leading to too much glucose in the blood.
Anybody who is worried about this condition should see their doctor for professional advice. Some people are more likely to suffer from this problem than others, as there are a variety of contributory factors, some of which, such as ethnicity and old age, it is not possible to prevent. Certain hormones, medication, sleep problems can also lead to this condition, as can steroid use, smoking, obesity and lack of exercise. However, there are ways to correct the problem.
One change people can make, to improve the problem, is taking more exercise. It is only sensible to seek the approval of a doctor before beginning any keep-fit plan. Some people will be fit enough already to take up hobbies such as weight-lifting which will help build muscle. This is important because glucose moves from the blood into the muscle and the more muscle there is, and the more muscles are exercised, the more efficient this process is. Aerobic exercise, which uses the heart and lungs, also is of great benefit. People unused to strenuous activities can start with simple steps, such as aiming for taking a walk five times a week, which will help increase their fitness.
Being very overweight, and especially carrying fat around the middle, is very unhealthy. Lots of belly fat can cause problems besides this condition because it produces hormones. Dieting can therefore help enormously, and the very overweight would benefit from seeing their doctor who may recommend a weight-loss clinic or dietitian.
People who smoke should plan to stop because smoking is another thing that can cause this condition, as well as other serious diseases. There are a wide variety of products and medications available to help quit. If someone is struggling to give up it is worthwhile visiting a health-care professional for help and advice.
Some studies have shown that vitamin D can help, but some scientists dispute this. However, it is well known that some darker-skinner people living in less sunny climates may struggle to get the amount of vitamin D they need. If this is a concern, a doctor will advise whether a supplement is necessary.
In addition to losing weight, people faced with this problem should take a look at what they eat. High carbohydrate foods, like cakes and biscuits, cause the blood sugar to surge and more hormones need to be released to try and control it. Low carbohydrate diets are therefore the answer and there are many books and recipes available. A low fat diet is also important for health and weight loss.
As diabetes is a serious illness, it is vital to try to reverse insulin resistance. Fortunately, this is possible by making attempts to change to a healthier life-style. This will also have various other benefits to the person.
