Insulin Resistance: The Silent Driver of Diabetes & PCOS in Vadodara

Many patients walk into Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara saying:

“Doctor, I don’t eat much, but I still gain weight.”
 “My sugar is borderline.”
 “I have PCOS and nothing is working.”

In most of these cases, the real culprit is insulin resistance.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter your cells for energy.
 When your body becomes resistant to insulin:

• Sugar stays in the bloodstream
• The pancreas produces more insulin
• Fat storage increases
• Weight loss becomes difficult

Over time, this can lead to:

• Type 2 Diabetes
• PCOS
• Fatty Liver
• Belly obesity
• High triglycerides

Early Signs of Insulin Resistance

You may have insulin resistance if you notice:

✔ Increasing waist size
 ✔ Sugar cravings
 ✔ Fatigue after meals
 ✔ Darkening of skin around neck (acanthosis)
 ✔ Irregular periods (PCOS)
 ✔ Rising HbA1c

Many patients in Vadodara ignore these early signs until diabetes develops.

Why Treating Sugar Alone Is Not Enough

Most conventional approaches focus only on lowering blood glucose.

At Kayakalpa Clinic, we focus on:

• Reducing visceral fat
• Improving muscle mass
• Structured lifestyle correction
• Sleep optimisation
• Scientific nutrition planning
• Medication when required — but not blindly

Because if insulin resistance improves, sugar control becomes easier — sometimes dramatically.

Can Insulin Resistance Be Reversed?

Yes — especially in early stages.

With:

• Strength training
• Protein-adequate nutrition
• Weight reduction (even 5–7%)
• Better sleep
• Stress management

We have seen significant improvements in HbA1c and metabolic markers.
