Insulin resistance is a prevalent metabolic disorder that poses significant health risks, including a direct impact on cardiovascular health. It is characterized by the body's diminished ability to respond to the action of the hormone insulin. This hormone, produced by the pancreas, is essential for regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells for energy. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, higher levels of both insulin and glucose build up in the blood, setting the stage for various health issues, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
