In insulin resistance, muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond properly to insulin and thus cannot easily absorb glucose from the bloodstream. As a result, the body needs higher levels of insulin to help glucose enter cells.
The beta cells in the pancreas try to keep up with this increased demand for insulin by producing more. As long as the beta cells are able to produce enough insulin to overcome the insulin resistance, blood glucose levels stay in the healthy range.
Over time, ins...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Insulin resistance invariably develops in obese and overweight patients. This also is a sign that in future that person is likely to develop diabetes. In your case with a BMI of 35.56 kgs/M2, you are already in grade 2 obesity. That is the reason for developing Insulin Resistance (IR). Weight resuction can help reduce IR and also postpone development of diabetes (if already not developed). Thanks.

Breakfast - One slice of bread + one egg + sprouts. Lunch one roti + salad bowl + dal bowl. Dinner - Rice bowl + Veg grill + beans bowl. This is just one example of how you can reduce carbs i.e by having equal amount of veg/salad/dal/sprouts/protiens etc. Also if you want to reduce carbs, cut down all maida and replace with multigrain atta. Stop white rice and take hand pound rice/brown rice/millets. This way you can reduce carbs and replace them with good protiens or complex carbs.
