Yeah I can’t for the life of me wrap my head around what insulin resistance means and how it affects people. If someone could explain it like I was a kid and maybe why. I’d be so so grateful or anywhere that’s not like complex to research this?

Your glucose is screwed up. This causes your ovaries to develop acne. That acne creates hormone disruption which may make you more masculine. Weight loss, diabetic friendly diets, and medication such as metformin and birth control can help.
Insulin is your body’s signal that there is too much sugar in your blood.
Insulin normally makes some types of cells (muscle, liver and fat mostly) suck the sugar out of your blood and store it.
In people who are insulin resistant, the cells have stopped responding to insulin normally – so their body is producing insulin, but cells aren’t taking up sugar in response. This leaves too much sugar in the blood, which causes a bunch of problems.
Note – this is different from type 1 diabetes, where the body can’t produce insulin, but cells still respond to it.
