The phrase
"insulin responsiveness" means how well the body responds to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It refers to how effectively insulin is able to do its job of moving glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into the cells for energy usage. High
insulin responsiveness indicates that the body is efficiently using insulin to control blood sugar levels, while low
insulin responsiveness means the body may have trouble responding to insulin properly, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels.
