Kids who are starting to get type 2 diabetes are still able to make insulin, but the insulin can't work the way it should.
Insulin resistance occurs when despite the body producing sufficient amounts of insulin, the cells in the body become resistant to its effects.

Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Insulin Resistance
A condition in which the cells no longer respond adequately to insulin. As a result, the body secretes more insulin into the bloodstream in an effort to reduce blood glucose levels.
Insulin resistance
Insulin resistance means that your body does not use the hormone insulin as effectively as it should, especially in the muscles and liver.
Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Cirrhosis causes resistance to insulin-a hormone produced by the pancreas that enables the body to use glucose as energy.

Insulin Resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome
Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance. Most people with type 2 diabetes are obese and weight loss may be the key in controlling the current epidemic of type 2 diabetes.
What is insulin resistance?
Your body changes most of the food you eat into glucose (a form of sugar). Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter all the cells of your body and be used as energy.

Insulin resistance - defined by persistently elevated levels of insulin and the abnormal regulation of blood sugar - is a common characteristic of type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the effects of insulin. Because of the central role that insulin resistance plays in metabolic syndrome, a separate article is devoted to insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance means that fat, liver and muscle cells do not respond normally to insulin. As a result they do not store sugar for energy. Since the tissues do not respond well to insulin, the pancreas produces more and more insulin.
Insulin resistance related to excess body fat
Body's failure to make an adequate amount of insulin

Factors that increase your chance for type 2 diabetes include: ...
Insulin resistance - the inability of the body to properly use insulin and, as a consequence, process blood sugar - can also increase your child’s risk of metabolic syndrome. It is also a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance can be inherited, or can develop as a consequence of lifestyle. Twin studies show that diabetes is an inherited disorder; however, the genetic pattern of inheritance is not yet fully understood.
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body can't use its insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone that helps move blood sugar into cells where it's used for energy.

What is insulin resistance?
If your body is resistant to insulin, it means you need high levels of insulin in your blood to keep your blood sugar normal.
Of these, insulin resistance may be the most important trigger of simple fatty liver (steatosis) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Treating Insulin Resistance
A drug called metformin is commonly used as a treatment for people who suffer from type 2 diabetes. This drug acts by increasing how sensitive the body is to insulin.
To improve insulin resistance, for instance, your health care professional may prescribe medications such as metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia).
People with insulin resistance -- this means you, type 2 patients -- also tend to have blood containing high levels of a protein called fibrinogen.

Heredity is a risk factor.
Diabetes with insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes) is one of several conditions known as metabolic syndrome when they occur together.
Obesity and insulin resistance:
Approximately 50% of women with PCOS suffer from obesity. Obesity can also be a cause of insulin resistance, but in women with PCOS the insulin resistance is not directly due to obesity.
