Research on insulin resistance began mainly in the 1970s when it became possible to measure the presence of insulin in the blood. In conventional clinics, insulin levels are never measured to diagnose diabetes.
International convention is to measure fasting blood sugar, average blood sugar, and for pregnant women an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

In the fat you store, the secretion of inflammatory substances such as interleukins and cytokines begins – the catalyst for all lifestyle-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, and dementia, to name a few.
