Here's another reason to make sure you eat that morning meal. Skipping breakfast could temporarily induce insulin resistance in overweight women, according to a small new study.
The findings are important because chronically experiencing these episodes of acute insulin resistance is considered a diabetes risk factor, researchers said. Insulin resistance is a condition where cells in the body don't respond properly to typical amounts of insulin being released to help the cells take in sugar in the blood. When this occurs, the body must produce even more insulin -- which can in turn lead to diabetes, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
