A new study is the first evidence in humans that short-term lifestyle changes can disrupt the response to insulin of blood vessels. It's also the first study to show men and women react differently to these changes.
Vascular insulin resistance is a feature of obesity and type 2 diabetes that contributes to vascular disease. Researchers examined vascular insulin resistance in 36 young and healthy men and women by exposing them to 10 days of reduced physical activity, cutting their step count from 10,000 to 5,000 steps per day. The participants also increased their sugary beverage intake to six cans of soda per day.
"We know that incidence of insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease is lower in premenopausal women compared to men, but we wanted to see how men and women reacted to reduced physical activity and increased sugar in their diet over a short period of time," said Camila Manrique-Acevedo, MD, associate professor of medicine.
The results showed that only in men did the sedentary lifestyle and high sugar intake cause decreased insulin-stimulated leg blood flow and a drop in a protein called adropin, which regulates insulin sensitivity and is an important biomarker for cardiovascular disease.
"These findings underscore a sex-related difference in the development of vascular insulin resistance induced by adopting a lifestyle high in sugar and low on exercise," said Manrique-Acevedo.

or you could switch to bacon
Number 1 cause of insulin resistance is visceral fat , which is indirectly the result of a sedentary lifestyle.
Cut down on visceral fat and watch your insulin sensitivity improve.
____________
The low carb diet people say this, and they are right. On twitter search for low-carb and insulin resistance. All kinds of material there from serious “preachers”. And leads to extended material. Such as books and low carb sites
“Good news! for women that sit on their fat asses all day eating bonbons.”
And drinking mommy box wines while “working” from home for the Feds or state and county governments.
“or you could switch to bacon”
Too expensive these days. Eat toasted pop tarts and cheap ice cream instead. You can shake some factory made bacon bits on top your vanilla ice cream for a real treat on weekends.
