      Insulin resistance syndrome is a cluster of physiologic abnormalities including hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Patients with this cluster of physiologic disturbances are at increased risk for stroke, renal failure, and heart disease. Insulin resistance is the causal mechanism of gestational diabetes and may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Implications of diagnosing a population that may be at future risk for stroke and heart disease are discussed, along with therapeutic strategies that may decrease long-term complications in this group.
