Difference between Insulin resistance and Prediabetes

Insulin resistance vs. Prediabetes

Insulin resistance (IR) is a pathological condition in which cells fail to respond normally to the hormone insulin. Prediabetes is the precursor stage before diabetes mellitus in which not all of the symptoms required to diagnose diabetes are present, but blood sugar is abnormally high.

Similarities between Insulin resistance and Prediabetes

Insulin resistance and Prediabetes have 32 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abdominal obesity, Acanthosis nigricans, Adipocyte, Beta cell, Blood sugar level, Diabetes mellitus, Diabetes mellitus type 2, Dyslipidemia, Exercise, Fasting, Gestational diabetes, Gluconeogenesis, Glucose, Glucose tolerance test, Glycogen, High-density lipoprotein, Hyperglycemia, Impaired glucose tolerance, Infection, Insulin, Liver, Metabolic syndrome, Metabolism, Metformin, Obesity, Pancreas, Polycystic ovary syndrome, Protein, Thiazolidinedione, Triglyceride, ..., Weight loss, World Health Organization.

Abdominal obesity

Abdominal obesity, also known as central obesity, occurs when excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen has built up to the extent that it is likely to have a negative impact on health.
