A person that is insulin resistant has to make more insulin than normal people to bring their glucose down after eating. Your body does not respond to the insulin right away, your glucose stays high, so your pancreas pumps more insulin. If you are not a Type II diabetic, your pancreas will finally make enough insulin to bring down your glucose, but now you have excess insulin in your body which can cause hormonal problems, weight gain and acanthosis nigracans. The excess insulin still in your body may cause your glucose to drop too low, and make you feel hungry, shaky and tired. |
