Insulin resistance (IR) is a metabolic condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, leading to higher blood glucose and insulin levels, which can progress to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and increase cardiovascular risk.
The Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance Index (LP-IR) is a valuable tool for assessing IR by analyzing lipoprotein particle sizes and concentrations, offering early detection even in those at low risk. Lifestyle interventions like diet changes and exercise can significantly improve insulin sensitivity and lower LP-IR scores, reducing the risk of T2DM and cardiovascular complications.
