The name has two meanings.
Medically, insulin resistance happens when the body’s cells don’t respond to insulin as effectively as they should.
Resistance also means challenging the barriers that make diabetes care hard to access, afford or navigate, and the idea that anyone should face them alone.
This is a place for people living with diabetes and anyone who wants to understand it, support someone, or help improve access to care.
