--- As described in the 2013 Medical Subject Headings of the National Library of Medicine, insulin resistance consists of
- Diminished effectiveness of insulin in lowering blood sugar levels: requiring the use of 200 units or more of insulin per day to prevent hyperglycemia or ketosis.[1]
It can be caused by the presence of insulin antibodies or the abnormalities in insulin receptors (receptor, insulin) on target cell surfaces. It is often associated with obesity; diabetic ketoacidosis; infection; and certain rare conditions.
Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) can be measured by:[2]
