The majority of people with type 2 diabetes are insulin resistant. People with type 1 diabetes may also have some degree of insulin resistance, but are primarily insulin insufficient (i.e., their pancreas produces little to no insulin).
Obesity and associated insulin resistance predispose individuals to develop chronic metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Although these disorders affect a significant proportion of the global population, the underlying mechanisms of disease remain poorly understood.
