What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a state where the target tissue receptors in our liver are not responding to the insulin released by the pancreas. When someone is diagnosed of having insulin resistance, the person is at a much higher risk of developing coronary disease, PCOS, kidney disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.
