   Thanks for your question. The answer is "Yes" and "No." Insulin is the hormone responsible for getting glucose from the blood into the cells where it is used as energy. Insulin resistance happens when your body does not use insulin properly, and the cells are not able to get the glucose they need to work correctly. The body responds by telling the pancreas to produce more and more insulin. Eventually, the high level of insulin is not enough to force glucose into the cells, and excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream. This is when people are diagnosed with pre-diabetes and, eventually, Type 2 Diabetes.
