can insulin resistance cause fatigue

Yes, insulin resistance can cause fatigue. Here’s why:

• Energy Utilization: Insulin resistance impairs your body's ability to use glucose for energy, leading to feelings of tiredness.
• Blood Sugar Fluctuations: High or unstable blood sugar levels can cause energy crashes and fatigue.
• Inflammation: Insulin resistance is often associated with chronic inflammation, which can contribute to fatigue.
• Sleep Issues: Conditions like sleep apnea, which are more common in people with insulin resistance, can disrupt sleep and cause daytime fatigue.

If you experience persistent fatigue, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate your insulin sensitivity and overall health.
