GlossaryHyperinsulinemia

condition of having excess insulin in the blood

Hyperinsulinemia is a condition characterized by an excess amount of insulin in the blood. This often occurs when the body's cells become resistant to insulin, leading the pancreas to produce more insulin to compensate. It is commonly associated with conditions like type 2 diabetes and can contribute to various health issues, including obesity and cardiovascular disease.
