Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body's cells become less responsive to the effects of insulin. This results in higher than normal levels of blood glucose, known as hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia is the opposite condition, in which blood glucose levels fall too low. Diabetic coma is a severe complication of diabetes that can occur if blood glucose levels become dangerously high or low.
