Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Insulin resistance invariably develops in obese and overweight patients. This also is a sign that in future that person is likely to develop diabetes. In your case with a BMI of 35.56 kgs/M2, you are already in grade 2 obesity. That is the reason for developing Insulin Resistance (IR). Weight resuction can help reduce IR and also postpone development of diabetes (if already not developed). Thanks.
