Q: My doctor told me that I have insulin resistance, and that I may be headed for diabetes. What is insulin resistance, and what can I do about it? A: The cells of your body need sugar for energy. The sugar they need is glucose, which powers your brain, muscles, and other parts of your body, just as gasoline powers a car. To get glucose into your cells, your body makes insulin, a hormone that acts like a key. It attaches to the surface of your cells, allowing glucose to enter. For some people, the cells do not respond well to insulin.
