Insulin is a hormone that helps move glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream into your body’s cells, where it can be used for energy. It also helps the liver store extra glucose and supports the storage for future use.
Insulin resistance occurs when the body’s cells don’t respond properly to insulin. As a result, the pancreas has to produce more insulin to keep blood glucose levels under control. Over time, this can lead to pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
