Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for the leading causes of death, the leading one being cardiovascular disease. Everyone sits somewhere on the scale of insulin sensitivity from very insulin sensitive to very insulin resistant at the point of type 2 diabetes. Understanding where you sit on this continuum is a key part of defining your future risk of heart disease but also dementia, and many cancers.
