- A condition that used to show up mostly in old people and is now appearing in teenagers<\/span><\/li>\n
- A condition, which like most addictions, causes the development of a higher and higher \u201ctolerance\u201d for a given substance \u2013 in this case a person\u2019s own insulin.<\/span><\/li>\n
- All of the above<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Every cell in a person\u2019s body requires two things:
![\"Police](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/policepsychologyblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/insulin-1.jpg?resize=300%2C223\")
Glucose<\/i><\/b> which is the fuel and O<\/i><\/b>2<\/i><\/b>, which is required to burn it. O<\/i><\/b>2<\/i><\/b> gets to each cell via red blood cells, glucose<\/i><\/b> gets inside each cell only with an insulin<\/i><\/b> escort. The insulin<\/i><\/b> molecules are provided by the pancreas<\/i><\/b> which is signaled to release insulin into the bloodstream any time there is the slightest rise in the blood glucose (sugar) level (above approximately 100 mg per deciliter of blood). The insulin molecules \u201cunlock\u201d<\/i><\/b> the portal thru which the glucose enters the cell by engaging special insulin receptor sites<\/i><\/b> on the cell wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe pancreas is a very dedicated organ and will always release insulin into the
![\"police](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/policepsychologyblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/insulin-2.jpg?resize=300%2C226\")
bloodstream when asked by the presence of slightly elevated glucose levels. If,over time there is a constant presence of insulin circulating in the blood, then cells, especially fat cells, will begin to lose receptor sites. Just as in any addiction, insulin receptor site resistance is the<\/span><\/p>\ntechnical way to say that the cells have developed a \u201ctolerance\u201d to insulin. A vicious cycle is established: more insulin leads to fewer receptor sites, fewer receptor sites leads to a higher need for insulin. As this cycle continues over time, the pancreas loses its ability to continue to make enough insulin and the person receives a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes \u2013 now insulin will need to be injected.<\/span><\/p>\n
The best early intervention against this \u201cinsulin addiction\u201d<\/i><\/b> problem is to limit the intake of the precursor to glucose \u2013 carbohydrates, especially simple (or high glycemic carbohydrates). Reducing high glycemic carbohydrate intake while increasing aerobic exercise is the very best way to beat the Insulin Resistance<\/i><\/b> problem.<\/span><\/p>\n
