Insulin resistance is a medical term for insulin resistance, which itself has no specific clinical signs and symptoms and is predominantly prevalent in many metabolic-related diseases.
Insulin resistance is often comorbid with obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, coagulation disorders, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, and some patients are prone to preprandial hypoglycemia as well as acanthosis nigricans.
Some patients are prone to symptoms of preprandial hypoglycemia, such as panic, hand tremors, extreme hunger, etc. It is possible that insulin resistance has occurred, and it is important to pay attention to further examination to detect the emergence of pre-diabetes or diabetes in a timely manner.
Acanthosis nigricans is a characteristic skin lesion due to insulin resistance, which is mainly characterized by velvety, papillomatous black deposits in the crease areas as well as on the neck, and hyperkeratosis.
Insulin resistance should be treated by an endocrinologist under the supervision of a physician.
