Insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas, is essential for life. Your body's main source of energy is glucose, a simple sugar that comes from the food you eat. Insulin is released when glucose enters your bloodstream to help glucose get to the cells found in your muscles, fat, and liver. When you have insulin resistance, those cells don't respond like like they should to insulin. And when that happens, glucose can't efficiently be removed from your bloodstream or stored for later use.
If those cells become too resistant to insulin, your blood sugar can become too high, leading to hyperglycemia. And over time, this can lead to prediabetes and type two diabetes.
