Insulin Resistance: What You Need to Know

Insulin resistance is a condition that affects how your body processes glucose (sugar). Over time, it can lead to serious health issues like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and even heart disease. At Northeastern Health System, we are here to help you understand the risks, take control of your health, and feel better—starting today.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin is a hormone that helps your cells absorb glucose for energy. When your body becomes resistant to insulin, it takes more of it to get the same job done. That means your pancreas works overtime to produce more insulin, and when it can't keep up, your blood sugar levels rise.

Common signs of insulin resistance include:

  • Fatigue

  • Difficulty losing weight

  • Sugar cravings

  • Brain fog

  • Increased belly fat

  • Skin tags or dark patches of skin
