Obesity-related insulin resistance: the link, signs and how to check it

Obesity and insulin resistance have a bidirectional relationship. When excess fat, particularly visceral fat, accumulates excessively, the body becomes more likely to respond poorly to insulin. Conversely, insulin resistance forces the pancreas to secrete more insulin to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Over time, this can increase the risk of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome.
