Our body is a complex system in which biochemical processes take place continuously. Їхnya zlagodzhennaja work ensures the normal functioning of all organs. However, sometimes this equilibrium is disturbed and the systems cease to function normally, which causes an increase in the level of insulin. Here you can find out why this happens and what to do in such cases.
The role of insulin in the body
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. Its main function is to regulate the metabolism of substances. In hyperinsulinaemia its level in the blood becomes abnormally high. Unfortunately, HI is becoming more and more common not only in adults but also in children due to various reasons.
What can cause a hormone increase?
The main causes include:
- excessive fat. Especially visceral fat, which produces substances that reduce the sensitivity to insulin;
- malorrhulivosti. Due to the lack of flow, the m’yazi absorb glucose more easily;
- spadkivosti. If a close parent has a predisposition to diabetes, you need to take an appropriate approach to your health;
- chronic stress. As a result, cortisol increases the level of cucrose in the blood;
- excess of fast carbohydrates in the diet. This overvotes the regulatory mechanisms.
Here can be included hormonal disorders and poor sleep. People over 45 years of age should be especially respectful of their health. At this age, the sensitivity to insulin naturally decreases.

How to identify the presence of a problem
Glucose and insulin analyses are most often carried out with the calculation of the HOMA-IR index (it evaluates the ratio of these parameters). HbA1c test can also be performed, which shows the average level of sugar over 3 months. Another method is to examine the lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides) and liver enzymes, as IR is often accompanied by their imbalance.
If you notice any symptoms, you should definitely contact a doctor. In this case it will be possible to start treatment early and prevent complications. If the presence of the problem is ignored for a long time, there may be tremor, onymphing and shaking in the ends, disorientation, double vision. In important cases, there is sudomas and loss of consciousness. Hypoglycaemic coma may occur.
