Preventable medical conditions are hard to manage and control once they are allowed to make the transition into advanced stages. Nowadays, most societies are experiencing a rise in the number of obese patients at risk of developing advance diabetes. A good number of obese patients are presently suffering from metabolic syndrome which leads to diabetes. Therefore, it is important that preventive measures be devised in order to reverse insulin resistance because diabetes cannot be cured.

Insulin is a hormone that, depending on its level, causes diabetes. It is produced in an abdominal organ known as a pancreas and its major role is controlling blood sugars level. The function of this hormone is to assist all tissue cells in attaching glucose particles on their surfaces. This action controls the level of sugars present in blood vessels, and it also enables the cells acquire much needed energy from the breaking down of glucose particles. Insulin resistance occurs when cells become impervious to its effects.

Several ways are on hand in tackling this syndrome. Firstly, affected people should undertake fitness programs that will help them in reducing weight. This is because an overweight person has concentrated fats stored in blood vessels. This causes a significant rise in sugar levels therefore exacerbating the condition. Physical activities aid in rejuvenating cell structures so that they work at full capacities.

Another way is that people should control the type of food eaten as it is also important in tackling this syndrome. Foods that have undergone several processing and those that contain high sugars should be avoided. The ideal diet should have the right mixture of nutrients that aid the body in healthy metabolism.

Several nutritional supplements work in concert with the healthy diet taken. One should take the initiative of identifying the best supplements available because of their exceptional properties in stabilizing its levels. For example, some processed foods lack chromium therefore other extra sources have to be identified. Chromium is important as it increases cells tolerance to the hormone.

Good handling of stress levels is vital for combating this phenomenon because stress is a condition that can overturn achievements made by other initiatives. It makes the body produce other hormones that disrupt insulin functionality. One should therefore get the necessary professional help to deal with it.

A number of easily available drugs are recommended for alleviating the effects of this medical condition. These drugs are initially prescribed by doctors and are later self administered. However, their use has harmful effects if used for a long time because of its interference in the hormone's production. In some occasions, several patients experience additional weight. It should be used as a desperate and last tactic in combating the syndrome.

Medical experts suggest that further inquiry into the functions of the hormone has to be undertaken. This was instigated after some new research revealed that it is one of the most important hormone in the body. Further inquiry is therefore important as the problem causes many deaths even with the current achievements in medicine and technology.
