In case your body is unable to effectively stop responding to the properties of insulin, the pancreas learns of this and starts to produce even more, thinking that the body has not received enough insulin. This has led to a lot of metabolic dysfunctions throughout the body and is often left unnoticed for years at a time before finally being found, but by then, it may be too late to prevent major disorders from occurring in the body.
TYPE 2 DIABETES
If the body has been exposed to a lot of insulin for a very long period of time, it may have open the grounds for Type 2 Diabetes. This only happens whenever the pancreas is no longer able to keep up with the demand of insulin that is required for the body to operate and simply stops the production of insulin altogether without any type of warning.

OBESITY
