original book. Book Preview: #1 Insulin is a hormone that
is produced in the pancreas and regulates our blood
glucose levels. It has a wide range of effects on every
cell in every tissue of the body, from the brain to the
toes. It is an anabolic hormone. #2 Insulin resistance is
a reduced response to the hormone insulin. When a cell
stops responding to insulin, it becomes insulin resistant.
Ultimately, as more cells throughout the body become
insulin resistant, the body is considered insulin
resistant. #3 One of insulin's main roles is to regulate
our blood glucose. Because high glucose levels are
dangerous, our bodies need insulin to usher the glucose
from the blood, lowering blood glucose back to normal. But
with insulin resistance, insulin levels are higher than
expected relative to glucose. #4 The first recorded
evidence of this family of diseases comes from ancient
Egypt, where physicians noted that people with a certain
condition experienced too great emptying of the urine.
Later, physicians in India observed that certain
individuals produced urine that attracted insects like
honey."--|cProvided by Freading.
