Respuesta :

Answer:

c. insulin resistance

Explanation:

Insulin Resistance -

The condition when the cells are not able to respond to the insulin hormone .

Insulin is produced by the body , to prevent hyperglycemia and organ damage .  

In case of Insulin resistance , the cells are already resistant to insulin and are not able to use it effectively , hence , there is high blood sugars .

And the beta cells present in the pancreas increases the production of insulin , and therefore , high blood insulin level .

And when left undetected , can cause diabetes .

Even , CHD , diabetes , obesity and hypertension are the conditions of insulin resistance .
