What is Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance?

What is Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance?: "Other than the genes you inherited, there are two primary causes of insulin resistance:

1) A long-term diet that has been high in carbohydrates and
2) Nutritional deficiencies.

When you eat, your body breaks the food down into sugar (glucose), which then enters your blood stream. When the glucose in the blood increases, the body produces insulin to push the sugar out of your bloodstream and into the cells where it can be used. When insulin is doing its job, it will keep your blood sugar in normal range."
