It's actually a sign of insulin over-secretion rather than poor insulin sensitivity. However, in practice, there are signs as to whether you have good insulin sensitivity or not and possibly whether you over-secrete insulin. Here’s two very simple questions to ask yourself regarding your response to diet. 1. On high-carbohydrate intakes, do you find yourself getting pumped and full or sloppy and bloated? If the former, you have good insulin sensitivity; if the latter, you don’t. 2. When you eat a large carbohydrate meal, do you find that you have steady and stable energy levels or do you get an energy crash/sleep and get hungry about an hour later? If the former, you probably have normal/low levels of insulin secretion; if the latter, you probably tend to over-secrete insulin which is causing blood glucose to crash which is making you sleepy and hungry. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/insulin-sensitivity-and-fat-loss.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/insulin-sensitivit...
