The first signs of insulin resistance often appear without distinct symptoms, although its influence on the body creates significant health problems. Insulin resistance creates slow damage to your heart function and metabolism, while simultaneously affecting your hormonal system and energy production. The disease typically advances into type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that decrease both life expectancy and life quality, when left without treatment.
The positive aspect of insulin resistance treatment is that people can either stop its progression or completely reverse it, by adopting exercise routines and following a balanced diet and losing weight, while learning stress management techniques.
