The role of macrophages in obesity-associated islet inflammation and β-cell abnormalities Article 13 December Trends in insulin resistance: insights into mechanisms and therapeutic strategy Article Open access 06 July Cytokine modulation by etanercept ameliorates metabolic syndrome and its related complications induced in rats administered a high-fat high-fructose diet Article Open access 23 November Introduction For about two decades, it has been known that inflammation contributes to obesity-associated insulin resistance.
Chronic inflammation and insulin resistance At the molecular level, inflammation induces insulin resistance by targeting IRS-1 and PPARγ. Inflammation and IRS-1 insulin receptor substrate 1 In cellular models of insulin resistance, the pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, is widely used to induce insulin resistance.
Free fatty acids and insulin resistance Elevated plasma free fatty acids FFAs induce insulin resistance in obese and diabetic subjects Inflammation and energy metabolism Inflammation is associated with increased energy expenditure in patients with chronic kidney disease 51 , cachexia 52 , inflammatory bowel disease 53 and Crohn's disease New potential drug candidates for insulin resistance The antidiabetic drug thiazolidinedione TZD restores insulin action by activating PPARγ, thus lowering the levels of FFAs in the blood.

CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Hacker H, Karin M. Carbohydrate foods with a high GI and GL can cause blood sugar spikes and put more demand on the body to produce insulin.
Conversely, the digestive system processes foods with a low GI and GL slowly, which reduces blood sugar spikes. Eating foods with a low GI and GL is an excellent way to maintain balanced blood sugar levels and preserve insulin sensitivity. This category includes many fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin allows cells to absorb glucose, making sure that blood sugar levels remain at a safe level and that the cells in muscle, fat, liver, and other areas can get energy.
When a person has insulin resistance, their cells are less sensitive to insulin. This means the pancreas has to produce more insulin to keep blood sugar levels stable. If the pancreas cannot keep up with the increased demand for insulin, blood sugar levels rise. If the cells cannot use all the excess glucose in the blood, a person will have high blood sugar levels.
Over time, this could lead to type 2 diabetes and various other health concerns. Genetic factors may increase the risk of insulin resistance. However, lifestyle factors also make a difference.
First, consuming too many calories can trigger weight gain. According to one study in middle-aged adults, weight gain increases the risk of insulin resistance. However, regular physical activity can counteract these effects.
Second, various types of foods may have different effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels. A person should follow a balanced diet and prioritize foods high in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats. A doctor or dietitian may provide advice on which foods to eat to maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Though a person can develop insulin resistance at any weight, having overweight or obesity may increase the chances of insulin resistance. People with excess fat around their waist and abdomen, in particular, are at a higher risk of developing insulin resistance. Excess fat around the waist might also relate to chronic inflammation.
This can trigger a wide range of health problems, including insulin resistance. However, body weight is just one factor that may contribute to insulin resistance. Having overweight or obesity does not mean that a person will develop insulin resistance. A person can work with a doctor or dietitian for personalized guidance on whether diet and lifestyle changes may be beneficial.
Not getting enough exercise can affect the way insulin regulates blood sugar levels. According to the American Diabetes Association , physical activity plays a vital role in keeping blood sugar levels steady. Aim for around 30 minutes of exercise per day, at least 5 days per week. A person can also add more activity to their daily routine by taking the elevator instead of the stairs, going for a walk during their lunch break, or using a standing desk.
It is common in prediabetes, a condition that can progress to type 2 diabetes. Diet plays an essential role in preventing insulin resistance.
Adding more foods that are high in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats to the diet can be beneficial. Managing underlying health conditions, getting plenty of sleep, and managing stress levels can also help promote overall health and improve insulin resistance.
A diagnosis of prediabetes does not mean that you will definitely advance to diabetes, though it is a high risk factor. The good news is that prediabetes is reversible.
These include reducing total carbohydrate intake; switching from processed carbs to high fiber, low GI carbs; losing weight; doing daily exercise; getting good quality sleep for 7—9 hours a night; and managing stress.

Enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation writes insulon Chronic fatigue and cognitive impairment variety jnsulin online and print publications on health topics ranging from senditivity to fasting to mental inflammatiion. Diabetes is marked by higher-than-normal blood sugars, but did you know an underlying cause for type 2 diabetes is low-grade inflammation? The reason is that chronic inflammation —caused by diet, excess weight, sedentary lifestyles, stress and impaired gut health—causes cells to slowly become insulin resistant. This leads to higher blood glucose levels, as well as fat accumulation in the liver, creating a cycle that builds on itself that leads to greater insulin resistance.
