(Created page with "thumb A person with type 2 diabetes is able to produce a lot of insulin initially but their bodies are not responding to the hormone called insulin due to what is called insulin resistance. Most people with diabetes—9 in 10—have type 2 diabetes which often is diagnosed in adults although it is increasingly being diagnosed in children. There is a third type of diabetes called gestational diabetes which develops in pregnant women...") |

The link between [[insulin resistance]], [[weight gain]], and type 2 diabetes is well-established. Lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and physical activity are crucial in the prevention and management of these conditions. W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep, and MedSpa provides a comprehensive approach to weight management and sleep disorders, offering patients the tools and support they need to achieve their health goals. | The link between [[insulin resistance]], [[weight gain]], and type 2 diabetes is well-established.

Insulin resistance, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes are interrelated conditions that affect a significant number of individuals worldwide. Insulin resistance occurs when the body's cells become less sensitive to the effects of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. This results in a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream, leading to weight gain and eventually, type 2 diabetes. | Insulin resistance, weight gain, and type 2 diabetes are interrelated conditions that affect a significant number of individuals worldwide.

Numerous studies have shown that obesity and weight gain are major risk factors for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat, especially visceral fat around the abdomen, is associated with increased insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is two to four times higher in individuals with obesity compared to those with a normal body weight. | Numerous studies have shown that obesity and weight gain are major risk factors for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
