What Is Hyperlipidemia? Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition that is characterized by excessive amounts of fatty substances such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood of an individual. Hyperlipidemia is often also known as hyperlipoproteinemia as fatty substances are often found attached to the proteins in the bloodstream.
Hyperinsulinemia (hi-pur-in-suh-lih-NEE-me-uh) means the amount of insulin in your blood is higher than what's considered normal. Alone, it isn't diabetes. But hyperinsulinemia is often associated with type 2 diabetes. Insulin is produced by your pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar. Hyperinsulinemia is a sign of an underlying problem. Hyperinsulinemia is most often caused by insulin resistance â a condition in which your body is resistant to the effects of insulin. Your pancreas tries to compensate by making more insulin. Insulin resistance may eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. This happens when your pancreas is no longer able to compensate by secreting the large amounts of insulin required to keep the blood sugar normal.
