Intellectual disability is a below-average cognitive ability with three (3) characteristics: Intelligent quotient (or I.Q.) is between 70-75 or below.
Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells do not respond properly to the hormone and cannot take up glucose, which then builds up in the bloodstream. This causes the beta cells to release extra insulin, leading to high blood insulin levels (hyperinsulinemia).
