Insulin insensitivity is associated with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and inefficient cellular insulin utilization.

“Insulin sensitivity might sound like a bad thing to people out there. But it turns out that you want to be insulin sensitive. The last thing you want is to be insulin insensitive. Insulin insensitivity is associated with type 2 diabetes, with obesity, and even for people who are not challenged with obesity, you want your cells to be insulin sensitive. You don't want a lot of insulin floating around in your system with your cells unable to use that insulin. That's really what insulin insensitivity is about.”
