We speak of the pancreas inability to produce sufficient amounts of the hormone called insulin which helps cells absorb the blood sugar. Due to this decompensation, glucose levels rise, causing the appearance of metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
A high consumption of sugars and carbohydrates, being overweight, obese, and having a sedentary lifestyle, as well as a genetic predisposition to suffer from it, can contribute to its appearance.
At the beginning, insulin resistance does not generate specific symptoms, however, as the production of this hormone decreases and blood sugar levels increase, some signs may appear such as darkening in certain areas of the skin, excessive fatigue, and frequent urge to urinate, among others.
To establish a proper diagnosis, it will be necessary to review your medical history and perform blood tests to measure your blood sugar levels.
The treatment to follow will depend on your case, but surely your doctor will indicate changes in your diet and physical activity so that you can lose weight. He or she could also prescribe medications that are meant to control your glucose levels.
