Insulin resistance is the root cause of type 2 diabetes, PCOS, and metabolic syndrome in many patients. Early specialist assessment and targeted treatment can prevent serious long-term complications.

When cells become resistant to insulin, the pancreas compensates by producing more - but eventually cannot keep up, leading to rising blood glucose and, ultimately, type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance underlies the majority of type 2 diabetes cases, drives PCOS in many women, causes fatty liver disease (MASLD), and significantly increases cardiovascular risk. It is often silent for years before blood glucose rises to diabetic levels.
