Need succinct overview article about insulin resistance
I need a short article or brochure explaining insulin resistance to give to my son's school. It shouldn't start with an explanation of beta cells! It should explain the basic idea about the body still making enough insulin, but how cells don't respond well. It should explain that IR can lead to pre-diabetes, and it should explain that insulin resistance and pre-diabetes are not exact synonyms.
Everything good I've found so far is too long, e.g. www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/diabetes/types/prediabetes-insulin-resistance

After massive searching I found a suitable fact sheet. Its primary focus is diabetes but it includes the basic information I need to get across about insulin resistance.
www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/statsreport14/national-diabetes-report-web.pdf
Insulin resistance is explained succinctly, and well, on p. 9. Also, the difference between the terms "pre-diabetes" and "insulin resistance" is made clear in this fact sheet. (That is something the school has always been confused about. They think that because the specialist has not diagnosed pre-diabetes, therefore my son isn't insulin resistant.)
