Our diabetes team of experts OUR SPECIAL INTEREST LIES IN DIABETES PREVENTION The condition of insulin resistance is key to the idea of diabetes prevention. Insulin resistance is when the body is unable to use the insulin it makes, to keep the blood sugar levels normal. Increasing age, being over weight, leading sedentary lifestyle or having a family history of diabetes are some factors that make us vulnerable to insulin resistance. And insulin resistance starts at least fifteen to twenty years before it shows up as abnormal blood sugar levels.
It is this time period when blood sugar levels are normal but still insulin resistance is high, that people are at increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Evident by, we need to do something sooner, much before diabetes manifest.
