Insulin Resistance
Someone with type 2 diabetes
still produces insulin, but the body just doesn't respond to insulin normally and
the person's pancreas isn't able to make enough extra insulin to overcome this insulin
resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when the body doesn't respond as well to the
insulin that the pancreas is making and glucose is less able to enter the cells. People
who have insulin resistance may or may not develop type 2 diabetes.
