As insulin resistance progresses, it causes excess glucose to buildup in the blood, which leads to
type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is also a risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, one of the causes of cirrhosis.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90 - 95% of cases. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not respond properly to insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance.
