Insulin resistance is defined as the difficulty in the action of insulin, which is secreted to control the sugar in the human body.
Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that brings blood glucose, the most important source of energy in the human body, into the cells.
When this regulation is made in the body, it binds with a structure called "insulin receptor" in medical language and there is activity in the body.
This connection, referred to as the "insulin receptor" in medical language, does not allow insulin to bind for many reasons, causing insulin to not function in the blood even though there is insulin in the body. This condition is called insulin resistance.
