WHAT IS INSULIN RESISTANCE ?

Have you heard of Insulin Resistance ? I am not sure if you and your doctor have discussed insulin resistance but it is critical to both obesity and diabetes.. 

INSULIN RESISTANCE IS WHEN YOUR BODY HAS DEVELOPED A RESISTANCE TO INSULIN. IT NEEDS MORE INSULIN TO DO THE SAME JOB

How do we get insulin resistance ?

Through Exposure. Exposure to anything creates resistance. Let me explain with some examples :

1. Have you seen street dwellers sleep on the sidewalk of a noisy road ? They have been at that road for so long they develop a tolerance to that noise. Take a visitor from a quiet village to a noisy city road and it is doubtful they can sleep there. Over time, with constant exposure they build - resistance
2. Anti-biotic resistance : Have you heard of the new strains of TB which are drug resistant. Even how they have superbugsin hospitals? Through continuous exposure to anti-biotics these harmful bacteria have become immune to them. Exposure has made them more resistant to it.
3. Drug resistance : We have all heard how drug users constantly need more and more drugs to get they same high. Whether it is cocaine users or glue sniffers, after the first time when they get the super kick, through repeated use they keep needing more and more of the drug to get high, and people say it is never as strong as when they first got started.​

This is how life works. Exposure creates resistance. When people get exposed to too much insulin, they develop insulin resistance.

Reducing Insulin Resistance brings incredible changes within days and we see this every time with the Cure My Diabetes program. The effect is so dramatic that in heavy insulin users we can reduce insulin dosage by 50% - 80% within 5 days!

Why does Insulin resistance matter ?
Insulin resistance will lead to a vicious cycle in your body which will drive up obesity and create more insulin resistance. This leads to a condition called hyper insulinemia.
