Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are complex conditions which carry with them major health risk of increased morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance is a genetic predisposition in which the normal actions of insulin are impaired. Only in the face of environmental stress of such factors as...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, the most frequent subtype of diabetes, is a disease characterized by high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). It arises from a resistance to and relative deficiency of the pancreatic β-cell hormone insulin. ...
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are the most frequent metabolic disorders, but their causes remain largely unclear. Insulin resistance, the common underlying abnormality, results from imbalance between energy intake and expenditure favouring nutrient-storage pathways, which evolved to maximize energy utilization...

Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been viewed as a metabolic disorder characterised by chronic high glucose levels, insulin resistance, and declining insulin secretion from the pancreas. Modern lifestyle, with abundant nutrient supply and reduced physical activity, has resulted in dramatic increases in ...
Evolutionary pressures, such as acute infections at the population level (pandemics) and chronic low exposure to environmental products or infectious agents, may have contributed to increased susceptibility and to the current increase in the prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
