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.

>glucose is a highly reactive
yes. now do you want to have functional ammounts of insulin and sequester it in fat cells through gluconeogenisis?
or do you want highly reactive molecules freely to accumulate in your blood, bumping into nerve sheaths, blood-brain barriers and heart tissue?
fucking retarded

you know what's better than being diabetic with insulin resistance?
not being diabetic and not having insulin resistance.
fat retard.

just because we have a function for something, doesn't make it good dumbass.
we develop insulin resistance to the smallest degree in times of excess so that our body can put on fat for times where food is not abundant.
This resistance starts going down immediately upon stopping the process of excess eating and eventually reaches baseline if not below baseline as you reach fasted periods of low food.
>winter, animal migration periods, drought, etc
it's a necessary evil, but it doesn't make it good.

>a defense mechanism used by the body in a worst case scenario is actually the optimal state to be in
work backwards from your own conclusion

Is that why hamplanets are never wrinkly?

Hamplanets don't live long enough to be wrinkly.
