Insulin resistance

Insulin resistance causes a cascade of problems:

• Inflammation to cells
• Damage to mitochondria the power station of cell and body energy
• Food cannot be utilized properly (Metabolic Impairment Syndrome)
• Carbohydrate starvation
• Sugar cannot get inside cells to be used for energy
• Added damage to cells
• Toxins and acids accumulate (hydroxybutyric acid, lactic acid, ketones
• Diuresis and loss of minerals
• Loss of potassium and magnesium
• Lower bicarbonate level
• Anion gap acidosis
• Metabolic acidosis
• Diabetic ketoacidosis
• Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome

If severe, diabetic coma and irreversible spinal acidosis and dehydration, hypotension, or death may occur.   There is a vicious cycle syndrome of Insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance causes inflammation, inflammation causes more insulin resistance.  Insulin resistance causes obesity, obesity causes inflammation, etc.
