    Glossary Insulin Sensitivity

    how effectively cells respond to insulin to regulate blood sugar

    Insulin sensitivity refers to how effectively the body's cells respond to the hormone insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels. High insulin sensitivity means that cells can use glucose more efficiently, reducing the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. Conversely, low insulin sensitivity, or insulin resistance, can lead to elevated blood sugar levels and is a precursor to metabolic disorders.
