1. Insulin's WorkLoad:
Insulin is a protein hormone that is released from the Beta cells.. which are a type of cell found in the pancreatic islets of the pancreas....

Insulin acts like a key...
it is received onto cell receptor sites.. within the cellular membrane...
&..
It actually unlocks your cells to let in the glucose.. to be broken down for cellular energy for growth & cellular repair ..

insulin is released to responds to the increased levels of glucose within the blood..

⁉️Why..did the levels of glucose rise in the blood⁉️

You ate a meal... that contained sugar/carbohydrates... this increases the blood glucose levels.. the Beta cells respond.. secreting Insulin into the blood..

to lower blood glucose levels = unlocking your cells.. to let the glucose in from the bloodstream for cellular use this is called = a anabolic metabolism = insulin is a anabolic hormone = promotes growth & cellular repair...

Insulin Resistance simply put:
cellular adaptation refers to changes made by a cell in a response to environmental changes.... The adaptation may be physiological = normal ... or pathological = abnormal...

⁉️what am I getting at here⁉️...

Insulin Resistance=
Is a cellular adaptation .. meaning.. the is cell changing..or.. adapting = to perform better in a environment of chronically high levels of glucose in the blood...

The cell adapts by synthesizing..or.. I could say .. producing = LESS .. Insulin Receptor Sites for the cellular membrane...

‼️The Cells are Purposely Not Excepting The Glucose from the Bloodstream‼️

The cell has reduced its number of receptor sites so it doesn't take in any more glucose.. it has had enough.. it does not want the glucose.. & .. the cell adapts to perform by reducing the number of receptor sites available for the glucose..

If we are constantly ingesting sugars.. and cellularly it's is not necessary.. the cells adapt... To not .. take-up the glucose..

leaving your blood sugar levels high..

overtime.. you can imagine...
your bloodstream... becoming like syrup.. clogging the blood vessels.. decreasing circulation all over the body = a systemic problem .. leading to very bad scenarios..
