D -Konn Court, anesthesiology and pain interference, shared a message on Instagram on August 6, in which he listed “Signs, you may have insulin resistance”. Insulin resistance is a condition where the cells of the body in the muscles, fat and liver do not respond effectively to insulin, which leads to a high level of blood sugar. This may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and other health complications.

If you feel the following symptoms, it is important to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment as they can conduct tests such as fasting and insulin glucose, glucose tolerance tests and lipid profiles to assess risk.
According to Dr. Court, here are some potential indicators to be monitored:
1. Increased fat on your stomach
“High levels of insulin contributes to the storage of fat, especially around the abdomen. When the cells stop responding to insulin, the body compensates, creating more. This excess insulin signals the fat cells, especially in the abdomen to store more energy.
2. Acantaz Acantaz (darkened folds)
He added: “Insulin resistance leads to increased insulin into the blood.
3. Fatigue after eating
According to the Doctor of Court, “insulin stable cells do not absorb glucose effectively, even if the blood sugar is high. This means that your cells remain devoid of energy, which makes you feel sluggish.
4. The craving for carbohydrates or sugar
He added: “Insulin resistance often causes unstable blood sugar. After eating, spike insulin can cause blood sugar, causing a craving for greater sugar or starch to restore energy balance.”
5. Leather Tags (Acrochordons)
Dr. The court said: “These small, soft growths usually appear in the skin’s folds. Chronically high insulin acts as a growth factor, contributing to the excessive proliferation of cells in the skin. It is thought to be increased IGF-1 and reduces IgF-binding proteins that usually help regulate cell growth.”
6. Increased thirst
He came to the conclusion: “As the sugar in the blood remains high, the kidneys try to wash the excess by increasing the production of urine. This causes fluid loss, which leads to dehydration. As a result of thirst, it is a way of trying to restore hydration, but the cycle may continue if high glucose is not resolved.”
In 2023, the study of the National Institute of Health showed that chronic insufficient sleep could increase insulin resistance in women, in particular postmenopausal. Click here to find out more.
