With the help of insulin, your body uses the glucose as energy or directs it into your fat, liver, and muscle cells. Insulin resistance happens when your cells don\u2019t respond to the insulin and can\u2019t use the glucose from your blood for energy, says Wilson. That leads to increased glucose in your bloodstream. Consistently high blood sugar levels can lead to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prediabetes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and, eventually, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type 2 diabetes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But with an insulin resistance diet\u2014and other treatments such as exercise and medication\u2014you can reverse the condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><b>Your guide to reversing prediabetes<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-best-diet-for-insulin-resistance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the best diet for insulin resistance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no one-size-fits-all diet for controlling insulin resistance, says Wilson. But emphasizing whole, nutrient-dense foods that are low on the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatright.org\/food\/nutrition\/dietary-guidelines-and-myplate\/what-is-glycemic-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glycemic index<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the value that\u2019s used to measure how quickly a food causes blood sugar to rise) can help improve prediabetes and insulin resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often the advice around an insulin resistance diet is to cut out entire food groups, like carbohydrates. While you may see results initially, an approach like that isn\u2019t sustainable or healthy. The key to reversing insulin resistance is to make changes you can stick with. If <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blood sugar levels<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> return to normal, it does not mean \u201cthat a person can return to eating anything they want without the risk of the insulin resistance returning,\u201d says<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/dralicewilliams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alice Williams, MD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a physician based in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to turn to an insulin resistance diet that can be maintained in the long term. Diets like the Mediterranean diet or DASH diet, that focus on moderation and whole foods can be easier to stick to than restrictive fad diets such as Paleo or keto.
