nowadays, more often than not, the opposite problem occurs; different types of cells are not responding to the insulin in the bloodstream. This is called insulin resistance. When glucose can’t get into certain cells, those cells starve, which leads to organ dysfunction. When the liver or muscles are resistant, glucose builds up in the blood, leading to diabetes. The fact of the matter is that insulin resistance isn’t due to low insulin levels, but rather high ones—because the cell isn’t responding to the insulin signal.
