Diabetes is the most commonly known metabolic disorder. In the U.S. more than 29 million people are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and it is suspected that 8 million more people have simply not been diagnosed.
Diabetes is a condition in which the cells of the body fail to respond normally to a hormone called insulin which is produced in the pancreas. This hormone assists the cells in turning glucose (sugar) into energy. When this process is ineffective, it results in high blood sugar levels.

Insulin Resistance or Type 2 Diabetes

When the pancreas cannot produce any insulin it results in Type 1 or Juvenile Diabetes which usually occurs very early in life. However, in adults, when the pancreas begins to produce an over abundance of insulin attempting to counteract the high blood sugar then it leads to a state of insulin resistance or Diabetes Type 2.
