What happens when insulin is increased?

The development of insulin resistance typically increases insulin production (hyperinsulinemia) so that your body can maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If a person has excess insulin in their body and does not have insulin resistance, it would cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
