A 2021 study in Nutrients found that a high-protein diet was more effective than the Mediterranean diet at reducing insulin resistance and improving glycemic variability—a risk factor for type 2 ...
Insulin resistance may not be on your radar, but it should be. This often-overlooked condition is a precursor to a host of metabolic conditions, especially prediabetes and diabetes. ,. The good ...
Insulin resistance, or low insulin sensitivity, happens when cells throughout the body don’t respond properly to the hormone insulin, especially cells in muscles, fat and the liver. Insulin is a ...
Thus a lowering of disposition index predicts the conversion of insulin resistance to diabetes mellitus type 2. [13] Disposition index, but not insulin resistance, can predict type 2 diabetes in persons with normal blood glucose levels, but who do not have a family history ( genetic predisposition ) to type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a disease caused by the lack of insulin. Thus, insulin is the main treatment agent for type 1 and is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. Type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance by cells. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes.
Moxonidine is a new-generation alpha-2/imidazoline receptor agonist antihypertensive drug licensed for the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension. [5] [6] It may have a role when thiazides, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers are not appropriate or have failed to control blood pressure.
Insulin resistance desensitizes insulin receptors, preventing insulin from lowering blood sugar levels. [38] The leading cause of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is the failure of insulin to suppress glucose production by glycolysis and gluconeogenesis due to insulin resistance. [39] Insulin normally inhibits glycogenolysis, but fails to do so ...
The OGTT does not distinguish between insulin resistance in peripheral tissues and reduced capacity of the pancreas beta-cells to produce insulin. The OGTT is less accurate than the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique (the "gold standard" for measuring insulin resistance), or the insulin tolerance test, but is technically less difficult ...
