Does muscle become insulin resistant at a faster rate than fat?

Please provide citations. I am having a hell of a time sifting through this stuff on the internet. The clearest support for this is on wikipedia.com:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance

"Once established, insulin resistance would result in increased circulating levels of insulin. Since insulin is the primary hormonal signal for energy storage into fat cells, which tend to retain their sensitivity in the face of hepatic and skeletal muscle resistance, IR stimulates the formation of new fatty tissue and accelerates weight gain.[37]"

If so, is it enough a difference to justify subjecting one self to VLCD?

I am thinking it may just be enough to eat under a certain amount of carbs per day, not go full keto.

Interestingly enough, that article claims that Dietary fat has a greater impact on IR.

Usually when people speak of insulin resistance they speak of the individual as a whole, not muscle separately from fat.

I know, but that article delineates the two. That is very interesting; the AHA claims that is the case.
