Over time, this results in a condition called "hyperinsulinemia" or "too much insulin in the blood." Hyperinsulinemia causes other problems, including making it more difficult for the body to use stored fat for energy. What causes insulin resistance? We don #39;t know the whole story, but certainly genetics plays a big part. Some people are actually born insulin resistant. Lack of physical activity causes the cells to be less responsive to insulin. Most experts agree that obesity leads to more insulin resistance. However, it almost certainly also works the other way around: Insulin resistance promotes weight gain.
