Insulin resistance is when cells don't want to uptake glucose from blood. But can it actually be good for health and longevity since glucose is a highly reactive, toxic compound influx of which into the cells causes glycation and suboptimal functioning of cellular machinery?
Retarded doctors use insulin to manage type 2 diabetes because they think lowering blood glucose by any means necessary is good, but actually insulin resistance is an adaptive mechanism protective for the cells during systemic overload of energetic substrate, and they do way more harm than good with this practice.

Perhaps the population is dysgenic; all these seemingly bad adaptations have not been selected for due to some obscure benefit and are simply a product of accumulating mutation unchecked by harsh Darwinian pressures that are currently restrained by complex civilization.
This is civilizations collapse. Civilization allows dysgenic breeding; eventually people are too stupid and ill to keep things running.

>Do you not understand that high blood sugar is what drives glycation?
If you increase insulin sensitivity all you do is relocate this sugar from blood to cells. You decrease vascular glycation at price of increasing glycation in organs. You skipped biochem.

Blood stores glucose
Cells process it into other things like ATP and glycogen. I don't know the numbers but the burden of proof is on you to proof that intracellular concentrations of glucose ever come anywhere near blood levels, let alone stay that way for hours like they do with insulin resistance
Are you just having a schizo episode because you got diagnosed with diabetes? Be honest

Which generates many glycating chemicals, like methylglyoxal...
Read following papers regarding glycation and insulin resistance:

No, i don't have diabetes because my physical activity level is very high and i don't have much visceral fat. Just scientific curiosity.

Interesting
But the takeaway seems to be that it's best to manage diabetes by restoring insulin sensitivity naturally through exercise and fasting, which has always been my and I'm sure many others gut instinct
It's not like high blood sugar doesn't come with its own set of risks, that shit will make your arteries pop
