    Insulin resistance is a condition where the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, making it harder for cells to respond to insulin and leading to higher blood glucose levels. It is commonly caused by obesity, lack of physical activity, and diets high in carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. Symptoms include elevated blood glucose, increased hunger, fatigue, and weight gain. Diagnosis involves tests like fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance, and hemoglobin A1c. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, along with medications and insulin therapy for more severe cases. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle can help prevent insulin resistance.
