The answer is very simple: you may already be suffering from it. We believe Syndrome X is a disorder that most people seriously risk developing by the time they reach middle age, if not before. Syndrome X can explain why you feel lousy today such as being tired and fuzzy minded. It can also age you faster than normal, setting the stage for catastrophic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other age-related diseases. A syndrome is a condition defined by a cluster of related symptoms or disorders. In this case, Syndrome X refers specifically to a group of health problems that can include insulin resistance (the inability to properly deal with dietary carbohydrates and sugars), abnormal blood fats (such as elevated cholesterol and triglycerides), overweight, and high blood pressure.

Insulin Resistance: The Hidden Disease You May Already Have By Jack Challem You may already be suffering from one of the most common - and often overlooked - diseases to strike Americans. It's not a deadly new virus. Not cancer. Nor heart disease. It's a disease, surprisingly enough, caused by your body's inability to make the most of the food you eat. And as many as one in three people suffer from it. Doctors call this peculiar condition insulin resistance or, with a bit more mystique, Syndrome X. If the name doesn't ring a bell, the symptoms might: Feeling tired after you eat, and at other times when you shouldn't. Gaining a pound here and a pound there - and having difficulty losing them. Seeing your blood pressure creep up year and after year. And finding that your cholesterol does the same. Insulin resistance is the chief characteristic of adult-onset diabetes, which affects an estimated 15 million Americans. It also sets the stage for obesity and coronary heart disease - even if you're not diabetic. What can you do about it? The simple prescription is to eat right, take your vitamins and minerals, and exercise, because each reduces insulin resistance.

Latest News Press Releases Online Library Beginner's Guide ... Contact Joslin Joslin Study Shows Insulin Resistance Is Poor Predictor of Type 2 Diabetes in Those with No Family History of the Disease Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that insulin resistance by itself is a poor predictor of who will develop type 2 diabetes in people who have no family history of the disease. These studies suggest other hereditary factors, such as genetic factors, likely play more of a role in causing the disease. This new finding could one day lead to new treatments to delay or prevent the disease, according to the researchers. This latest study, headed by Dr. Kahn and Allison B. Goldfine, M.D., of Joslin, is a follow-up of a study initiated at Joslin in the late 1960s. Initial reports, published a decade ago in the British medical journal Lancet After the initial study, a team of Joslin researchers wanted to find out how many of the offspring from families without close relatives with type 2 diabetes would develop diabetes. In this latest study, they now report on a 25-year follow-up of the study participants with no family history of diabetes.

What is the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes? ... Insulin Resistance At A Glance What is insulin resistance? Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the Islets of Langerhans , small groups of cells that are scattered throughout the pancreas . The insulin is released into the blood and travels to all parts of the body.  Insulin is an important hormone that has many actions within the body. Most of the actions of insulin are directed at metabolism (control) of carbohydrates (sugars and starches), lipids (fats), and proteins . Insulin also is important in regulating the cells of the body including their growth. Insulin resistance (IR) is a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the effects of insulin, that is, the normal response to a given amount of insulin is reduced. As a result, higher levels of insulin are needed in order for insulin to have its effects. What causes insulin resistance?

References The insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) is a group of health risk factors that increase the likelihood of heart disease and perhaps other disorders, such as diabetes and some cancers The risk factors that make up IRS include insulin resistance, which refers to the reduced ability of the hormone insulin to control the processing of glucose by the body. Other major risk factors often associated with IRS include high blood sugar and high blood triglycerides cholesterol high blood pressure , and excessive body fat in the abdominal region. People with IRS do not always have every one of these risk factors, but they usually have many of them. A qualified doctor should make the diagnosis of IRS after a thorough examination and blood tests. Most people with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance, but many more people who are not diabetic also have insulin resistance. Since insulin resistance itself often does not cause symptoms, these people may not be aware of their problem. Some authorities believe insulin resistance is partially inherited and partially due to lifestyle factors. In addition to the recommendations discussed below, people with IRS may benefit from some of the recommendations given for type 2

Insulin resistance means your cells do not utilize insulin, and resist insulin trying to help glucose enter your cells. Usually more and more insulin is produced, and eventually, glucose is forced into muscles and adipose tissues, thus contributing to obesity and weight gain. Your pancreas works overtime trying to make enough insulin to meet your body's needs.

Is everyone with PCOS also considered to have Syndrome X? 4.1 What is the connection between insulin resistance and PCOS? At least 30 percent of women with PCOS are insulin resistant, although some investigators claim a much stronger association exists. Hyperinsulinemia produces hyperandrogenism by stimulating ovarian androgen production and by reducing serum sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG). This can heighten PCOS symptoms. Reducing insulin resistance through the use of insulin-sensitizing medications can restore ovulatory function in many women with PCOS. It appears that even some patients who do not test as being insulin resistant may benefit from these medications. TOP 4.2 How are insulin resistance and diabetes diagnosed?

Web Sites: Major Organizations ADA Dietary Recommendations: Available: http://www.diabetes.org/virtualgrocery/mealplanning.asp 1. Eat a variety of foods 2. Follow the diabetes food guide pyramid for guidelines on what and how much to eat. People with diabetes have the same food needs as people without diabetes. 4. The amounts needed from each of the food groups is as follows: Grains, Beans, and Starchy Vegetables - 6 or more servings per day Fruits - 3-4 servings per day Vegetables - 3-5 servings per day Milk - 2-3 servings per day Fats and Oils - only in small amounts Sweets - only once in a while 5. Keeping a food record for a day or two, and then comparing the number of servings you eat to the number recommended by the diabetes food guide pyramid will tell you whether you are eating too much or too little of any of the food groups. 6. Also, remember that the recommended number of servings is for the whole day, so you might want to divide the total number by 3 to see the amount needed per meal. For example, 3-4 servings of fruit per day means 1 per meal or snack, spread throughout the day.

39. Discovery Health :: Insulin Resistance Recent news reports inform us that the incidence of a condition known as insulin resistance or prediabetes is on the rise. insulin resistance is On the Rise. http://health.discovery.com/newsbreak/focus/insulin.html

June 02, 2004 EDT Insulin Resistance is On the Rise By Andrea Pennington, M.D. Recent news reports inform us that the incidence of a condition known as insulin resistance or 'pre-diabetes' is on the rise. Medical experts explain that insulin resistance not only increases the risk of developing diabetes, but also limits our ability to successfully lose weight. Here's a brief explanation of the condition and what you can do to prevent it. All meals become sugar Insulin: The key to sugar entry into cells Insulin is the hormone responsible for getting the sugar shuttled into our cells for use as energy. Insulin is frequently described as the 'key' that unlocks the door to our cells allowing energy to enter. The cells in our body can become resistant or less sensitive to insulin and fail to open the door. This condition is known as insulin resistance and is a pre-cursor to diabetes. When our cells don't respond to insulin, excessive amounts of sugar are left to float around in the bloodstream, this is known as hyperglycemia. If not used, the excess sugar can then be converted to and stored as fat. In addition to causing obesity, the excess sugar can create problems in blood vessels and nerves, as is seen with poorly controlled diabetes. Without realizing that the cell is resistant to insulin, and in an attempt to correct the situation, the body responds to the excess sugar by releasing more insulin, which perpetuates the problem. Insulin Resistance Promotes Fat Storage Elevated insulin levels increase the transport of fatty acids, also obtained from our diet, into fat cells. When fat cells are stuffed with high levels of fat, the body beings to manufacture more fat cells. While the body is able to add new fat cells, it is impossible to reduce the number of existing fat cells via natural means.

Home Insulin Resistance, Obesity And Diabetes: The Connection click here for PDF file Robyn Cosford MB, BS (Hons), FACNEM Hypoglycaemia is a condition well-known in nutritional medicine, and is thought to affect some 3-4% of the population . In this condition, an exaggerated insulin response to acutely raised blood sugar levels after eating, results in a too rapid or excessive drop in blood sugar levels. A more recently recognised condition, insulin resistance, is where cellular receptors for insulin fail to respond correctly to insulin and and the pancreas responds by producing more insulin in an effort to keep blood sugars controlled. Obesity is an increasingly recognised disease in modern Western society and is currently the most common pathological condition in industrialised society , with rates up to 25% in the Americas and parts of Western Europe. In Australia, in 1996, 40% of males and 28% of females were found to be overweight or obese . Diabetes affected 2.4% of the Australian population, double the figure for 1989-1990 . This article will explore the connection between insulin resistance, dysglycaemias, obesity and other disease processes.
