Key Points:
Prevalence of Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance, characterized by the inability of the hormone insulin to escort sugar into the cells, is widespread and underdiagnosed. Lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, exposure to toxins, and lack of sleep contribute to insulin resistance, which can lead to various cardiovascular complications.
Effects of Insulin Resistance on Cardiovascular System: Insulin resistance damages the endothelium, leading to plaque buildup in the arteries. It also induces arterial wall thickening and stiffness, increases blood pressure, and disrupts lipid metabolism, contributing to atherogenic conditions and increasing cardiovascular risk.
Need for Early Detection and Intervention: Detecting pre-insulin resistance and insulin resistance before they progress to diabetes is crucial for preventing cardiovascular complications. The symptoms, the side effects, the negative things that can happen with diabetes start decades before diabetes is diagnosed. Education and awareness about the risks associated with high glycemic foods, inadequate sleep, and chronic stress are essential.
