vicious cycle—and it could be
worse. If you don’t change your
eating habits pronto, insulin
resistance very well could
progress to type 2 diabetes.Type 2 diabetes occurs when (because of
the severity of insulin resistance and beta cell
death) your body can no longer produce
enough insulin to keep your blood sugar
within healthy parameters.
This is very, very bad—especially if your
diet still doesn’t change.
Diabetes comes with its own list of side
effects and related conditions: obesity,
glaucoma and cataracts, hearing loss,
impaired peripheral circulation, nerve
damage, skin infections, high blood pressure,
heart disease, and depression. Tens of
thousands of people die of complications from
diabetes every year.
