Resistance to Insulin

Monday, April 26th, 2010

The precursor of diabetes mellitus is already in the fact that the cells develop in the long term resistance to insulin. This means that the cells respond not as sensitive to insulin and absorb as a result of less glucose.
A vicious circle is created: the blood sugar level is elevated, the beta cells of the pancreas respond with insulin secretion. As a result, fat burning is inhibited. The high insulin levels leads to a permanent blockage of burning fat with the consequence of the continuous weight gain. This cycle continues continuously through a permanent malnutrition and growing ever wider. In the preliminary stage of diabetes mellitus can be prevented with a change in behavior of exercise and diet and drug therapy with the progress of the disease, contrary. With a good implementation of the recommendations, the treatment of insulin resistance may be reduced or eliminated altogether. If the symptoms of diabetes mellitus but not recognized in time and therefore not treated, the progression of the disease is inevitable.
