Insulin is a hormone that controls your blood sugar level by moving energy-rich sugar molecules out of your blood and into your cells.
Throughout life, your cells can become insulin resistant, which means they no longer respond to insulin as they once did. As a result, you live with higher blood sugar and insulin levels that can block weight loss. If not corrected, this leads to conditions like prediabetes and diabetes.
