What is insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it properly.

Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps the body use glucose for energy. Glucose is a form of sugar that is thebody's. The body's digestive system breaks food down into glucose, which then travels in the bloodstream to cells throughout the body.

Picture 1. Food Digestive Food go  through from mouth to the intestine. The digestive system breaks food down into glucose and in the intestine, there is an absorbtion glucose from intestine into bloodstream.

Glucose in the blood is called blood glucose, also known as blood sugar. As the bloodglucose level rises after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin to help cells take in and use the glucose.

                              

Picture 2. How Insulin work,

Insulin work as a key for glucose to open the door at the cell, so glucose can go into the cell from the bloodstream. 

When people are insulin resistant, their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond properly to insulin. Why ? because fat can stop insulin open the door at the cell and glucose can’t go into the cell. Glucose in bloodstream become higher. Pancreas sends more and more insulin but insulin can’t open the door.  As a result, their bodies need more insulin to help glucose enter cells. The pancreas tries to keep up with this increased demand for insulin by producing more. Eventually, the pancreas fails to keep up with the body's need for insulin. In long period, increased demand can cause pancreas work hardly and exhausted. Finally, pancreas can be spoilt. So your body will not able to produces insulin any more and this is diabetic condition (diabetic disease).

Picture 3, Fat affect The Door, Insulin can not open the door.
