Impaired tissue sensitivity to the action of insulin (insulin resistance) is a major abnormality underlying non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Insulin resistance is also associated with hypertension and dyslipidaemia, and may be an important and preventable cause of heart disease [1]. Although influenced by ageing, obesity, physical inactivity and certain drugs, current opinion holds that insulin resistance is hereditary in origin. Recent evidence, however, suggests a new hypothesis that insulin resistance may occur as a consequence of the persistence of a fetal response to undernutrition. It is suggested that the undernourished fetus makes metabolic adaptations from which it benefits in the short term by increasing fuel availability but that these adaptations become permanently programmed and persist throughout life.
