Insulin resistance is when either 1) your insulin molecules don't function as well, or 2)
your insulin receptor sites are less receptive.
Insulin sensitive means —
Insulin receptor site, Insulin goes in.
Your muscles all have
insulin receptor sites and only insulin can unlock those receptors and allow proteins in to build and repair the muscle.
Since animal protein and saturated fat or inexorably linked maybe it's the saturated fat that causes the insulin spike by blocking
the insulin receptor sites in the cells
The promising role of lipoic acid in controlling or preventing diabetes stems from its ability to help increase glucose uptake in fat and muscle cells by binding to
the insulin receptor sites.
The body can keep up for a period of time by producing more insulin, but over time
the insulin receptors sites get burned out.
Along with the pancreas,
insulin receptor sites are vulnerable to chemical poisoning like any other part of the body.
When
the insulin receptor sites burn out, it can cause strain and damage on weight, sleep, energy, and more.
