Insulin's Resistance or Tolerance?

Hello,

"Tolerance: A condition in which higher doses of a drug are required
to produce the same effect as during initial use; often leads to
physical dependence"

Resistance: immunity: (medicine) the condition in which an organism
can resist disease "

Insulin resistance: A condition in which the cells no longer respond
well to insulin. As a result, the body secretes more insulin into the
bloodstream in an effort to reduce blood glucose levels.


In view of above definitions and need of insulin at increasing rate to
diabetics type2, Can insulin resistance actually be "insulin
tolerance"? Resistance may have genetic base, irreversible and show
withdrawl symptoms, whereas tolerance may not have genetic base,
reversible and may not show withdrawl symptoms. What IR show?

Best wishes.

I would guess resistance, not tolerance because exercise reduces blood
sugar as does a careful choice of healthful foods and weight loss.

How? Whether resistance suggests reversal of condition? Can resistant
varieties of pathogens be reversed of their resistance?

It's actually insulin resistance, because the body becomes "resistant"
to insulin. Following your cited definitions of "Tolerance" and
"Resistance", insulin-tolerance is also adequate.

I think IR is reversible. Whether resistance is reversible? Whether
reversing IR has withdrawl symptoms? Whether body do not behave
inactivitively or resist effect from certain substance (alcohol one)
on acquiring tolerance of it?

Sorry, in above post, i wrongly related withdrawl symptoms issue with
resistance. Withdrawl symptoms are related to durg dependance and
addictions.
