INSULIN RESISTANCE

Much people with noninsulin-dependent diabetes manufacture satis insulin, but their bodies do not respond to the action of insulin. This may happen because the face is overweight and has too much thick cells, which do not respond well to insulin. Also, as people age, their body cells lose some of the capacity to respond to insulin. Insulin resistance is also linked to tall blood pressure and tall levels of thick in the blood. Other kind of insulin resistance may happen in some people who take insulin injections. They may have to take very tall doses of insulin each day (200 units or more) to bring their blood glucose (sugar) down to the usual range.
