role of insulin resistance in the development of prediabetes
The role of insulin resistance in the development of prediabetes refers to a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This reduced sensitivity to insulin leads to impaired glucose metabolism, which gradually progresses to prediabetes, a condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels that are not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes.
