what are insulin resistance symptoms

Insulin resistance occurs when your body's cells don't respond well to insulin, leading to higher blood sugar levels. Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired, especially after meals.
• Increased Hunger: Persistent hunger even after eating.
• Weight Gain: Particularly around the abdomen.
• Dark Skin Patches: Known as acanthosis nigricans, often appearing in body folds like the neck or armpits.
• High Blood Sugar Levels: Elevated fasting glucose or A1C levels.
• Frequent Urination and Thirst: Common signs of high blood sugar.

If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and potential testing for insulin resistance or prediabetes.
