Insulin Resistance Treatment

Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells don’t respond effectively to insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. Treatment focuses on improving this response through lifestyle changes like a balanced diet low in processed carbs, regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight. Sometimes, medications such as metformin are prescribed to enhance insulin effectiveness. Managing stress and getting adequate sleep also support treatment. The goal is to improve blood sugar control, prevent complications, and promote overall health by making the body more responsive to insulin.
