Is Insulin Resistance the same thing as Type 2 Diabetes?
No, Insulin Resistance occurs perhaps for many decades before Type 2 Diabetes is diagnosed. With Insulin Resistance, the pancreas is producing TOO MUCH INSULIN and with Diabetes, the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. If treated early, Insulin Resistance does not eventually become Diabetes. Additionally, Insulin Resistance does not require the daily administration of medication for control of the disease.
