Insulin Resistance is when there are high levels of insulin circulating in the blood. Cells normally absorb glucose with the help of insulin. When cells don’t respond normally to insulin, your body produces even more insulin, to “force” the cells into responding. When insulin levels rise, other hormonal changes can lead to increased appetite and decreased fat burning, which lead to weight gain.

No, Insulin Resistance and Diabetes is not the same. When you have Insulin Resistance, your pancreas makes extra insulin. For a while, this will work and your blood sugar levels will stay normal. Over time, your pancreas won’t be able to keep up. If you don’t make changes in the way, you eat and exercise, your blood sugar levels will rise until you have prediabetes. If you aren’t able to manage prediabetes, you could be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes later.

PCOS is described as a syndrome rather than a disease because it shows up as a group of signs and symptoms that can occur in any combination Doctors don’t know exactly what causes PCOS. They believe that high levels of male hormones prevent the ovaries from producing hormones and making eggs normally. Genes, insulin resistance, and inflammation have all been linked to excess androgen production.

It is sucrose free and does not contain any artificial sweeteners. D-Chiro Inositol increases the action of insulin in patients with PCOS, thereby improving ovulatory function and decreasing serum androgen concentrations, blood pressure and plasma triglyceride concentrations, and Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant enzyme cofactor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is capable of improving insulin resistance, glycaemic control and lipid profiles.
