Scientific Animations partners with NutritionFacts.org to spread awareness about Insulin Resistance

MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Jan. 12, 2017 - PRLog -- Scientific Animations, a U.S. based medical animations company headquartered in California, has recently joined forces with Nutritionfacts.org to spread awareness on "insulin resistance". The companies came together to develop a fascinating 3D medical animation video depicting the cause of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. The video shows how fat buildup in muscle cells act as a blocking mechanism that reduce insulin sensitivity.

People with insulin resistance have cells that cannot use insulin effectively due to malabsorption. This causes blood sugar to rise since muscles are not effective at accepting glucose from the blood. When blood glucose levels reach higher than normal, but not high enough to manifest into type 2 diabetes, the condition is called prediabetes. Being overweight or obese is one proposed cause of being at risk for insulin resistance. The video by NutritionFacts.org, originally a three-part series on the cause of type 2 diabetes, was created to better understand dietary interventions to prevent and treat the epidemic.
