Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells stop responding effectively to insulin, forcing the pancreas to produce more of it to keep blood glucose within normal range. It is the core mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and PCOS, and is assessed using the HOMA-IR index and fasting insulin levels. This page brings together the three stages of managing the condition: metabolic diagnostics, the correction protocol, and how the online consultation works.
