Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance has been defined as the inability of muscle, fat and liver cells to utilize insulin properly. Studies have noted that a resistance to insulin increases the chance of diabetes as well as heart disease and other ailments. See below for related articles on insulin resistance.
Taking A Closer Look At Insulin Resistance Syndrome
With this in mind, it? In their study, Basu et. There is plenty of literature supporting the link between obesity and insulin resistance.

An Algorithim for Managing Type 2 Diabetes: A Focus on the Disease Process, Not Just the Sugar
This supplement reviews the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, the oral pharmacologic treatment of type 2 diabetes, and proposed treatment algorithms, which are stratified based on fasting plasma glucose levels. Two recently stopped studies, the Diabetes Prevention Trial Type 1 (DPT-1) and the European Nicotinamide Diabetes Intervention Trial (ENDIT), showed no benefit of insulin (oral or low-dose injected) or nicotinamide, respectively.26,27 Trials that have been traditionally thought of ...

Improving Disease Management with New Treatments for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Insulin resistance leads to a compensatory increase in the circulating insulin level, which overcomes the relative block in insulin action and prevents an increase in glucose levels (Figure 1). Eventually, a defect affecting the secretion of insulin by the beta cell impairs its ability to sustain the heightened level of insulin output required to balance the tissue insulin resistance. When used in combination with drugs that increase insulin levels, including sulfonylureas, repaglinide, or ...

Cutaneous Manifestations of Diabetes
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease of metabolic dysregulation involving the abnormal metabolism of glucose. Diabetes has a significant impact on the healthcare costs of the Western world. Nearly all patients with diabetes eventually develop cutaneous manifestations of the disease. Cutaneous signs of the disease can heighten the suspicions of a physician regarding the diagnosis of diabetes. This article will focus on the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment modalities of the various dermatologic manifestations of the disease ranging from the more benign granuloma annulare to the more sinister diabetic ulcer.
