Description:	Sensitivity to insulin-mediated glucose disposal varies widely in the population at large (1), with approximately 50% of the variability resulting from differences in degree of adiposity (25%) and physical fitness (25%). The other 50% is almost certainly genetic in origin, with powerful ethnic differences. Irrespective of the origin, when insulin resistant individuals cannot maintain the degree of hyperinsulinemia needed to overcome the insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes develops (2,3). However, the majority of insulin resistant individuals are able to sustain the degree of compensatory hyperinsulinemia needed to maintain normal or near-normal glucose tolerance.
