Insulin resistance isn't just a blood sugar problem in isolation — it's a systemic failure to respond to one of the body's most important hormonal signals. Because insulin regulates far more than glucose, including lipid storage, protein synthesis, and vascular function, cellular resistance to it initiates a whole-body metabolic breakdown. Framing it this way reframes prevention and treatment toward restoring cellular sensitivity rather than just lowering sugar readings.
