Insulin resistance & Lifestyle

Women with PCOD have insulin resistance, Up to 70%. Which means that their cells can’t use insulin properly. The pancreas produces Insulin, which is a hormone to help the body use sugar from foods for energy. In insulin resistance, cells can’t use insulin properly and the body’s demand for insulin increases. To compensate, the pancreas makes more insulin.
