Insulin resistance, also known as impaired insulin sensitivity, happens when cells in your muscles, fat and liver don't respond as they are immune to the cells.
Diabetes is detected by tests such as glucose fasting, glucose random and HBA1C.
Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose.. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Usually healthy body maintains it at 90mg/dl.
The large gland behind the stomach called the pancreas controls blood sugar levels and produces insulin and glucagon and other hormones.
A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.
