Over time, chronic insulin resistance can lead to prediabetes and then Type 2 diabetes if it's not treated or able to be treated. Prediabetes happens when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.

Take a UBER HEALTH CHECK Test or Take a HLA - (Class II ) Typing Test
