INSULIN RESISTANCE
This gradual loss of sensitivity to the blood insulin results in an increase in the level of insulin as the pancreas secretes more and more in an attempt to normalize the blood sugar balance. The end result is an on-going high level of blood insulin (hyperinsulinaemia). This excess insulin promotes more fat storage at the expense of available energy. High-sugar and high-carbohydrate eating can eventually lead to obesity, high blood fats, high blood pressure and fatigue (this group of disorders is known as Syndrome X, or metabolic syndrome). Such inappropriately high levels of blood insulin can cause chronic irritable bowel syndrome, adrenal exhaustion and disturbances to the female hormonal balance (as in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
