EXCESSIVELY HIGH INSULIN resistance is the disease known as type 2 diabetes. High insulin resistance leads to elevated blood sugars, which are a symptom of this disease. In practical terms, this means that not only does insulin causes obesity, but also that insulin causes type 2 diabetes. The common root cause of both diseases is high, persistent insulin levels. Both are diseases of hyper-insulinemia (high insulin levels). Because they are so similar, both diseases are beginning to be observed as a syndrome, aptly termed diabesity.
