is insulin resistance prediabetes

Insulin resistance and prediabetes are related but not the same. Here’s a breakdown:

• Insulin Resistance: A condition where your body's cells don't respond well to insulin, making it harder for glucose to enter the cells. This can lead to higher blood sugar levels.
• Prediabetes: A condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Insulin resistance is a key factor that can lead to prediabetes.

While insulin resistance often precedes prediabetes, not everyone with insulin resistance will develop prediabetes. Lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and weight management can help improve insulin sensitivity and prevent progression to prediabetes or diabetes.
