Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Insulin resistance is a precursor to serious health issues including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease.
  • These conditions collectively form the insulin resistance syndrome.
  • Early detection and intervention hold significant preventive value as insulin resistance often precedes overt disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of identifying patients with insulin resistance.
  • To outline risk factors for developing insulin resistance.
  • To describe current treatment strategies for insulin resistance.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical indicators and risk factors associated with insulin resistance.
  • Summary of current therapeutic recommendations for managing insulin resistance.

Main Results:

  • Insulin resistance should be suspected in individuals with a family history of diabetes, personal history of gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, impaired glucose tolerance, or obesity (especially abdominal).
  • Current treatment focuses on lifestyle modifications.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt identification of insulin resistance is key for preventive healthcare.
  • Recommended lifestyle interventions include weight loss, regular physical activity, and increased dietary fiber.
  • Pharmacotherapy is not indicated for isolated insulin resistance.
