3. Obese and hyperinsulinemia patients: Some patients, especially obese patients, may show hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, suggesting that it is caused by insulin resistance. There are many causes of insulin resistance. In most cases, it is caused by disorders in the information conduction system after the insulin receptor, but it can also be caused by insulin receptor defects.
