glucose intolerance and obesity

My symptoms of severe insulin resistance include buffalo hump, acanthosis nigricans, very high hip to waist ratio (0.96), skin tags, numbness/tingling, muscle weakness...i could go on but my labs are normal. Normal. O_o Oh yeah this can happen. *Sigh.* So onto my worsening of symptoms. Well my fasting glucose still looks normal. Seriously this is getting old. I've had symptoms for over a decade at the very least. My OGGT test finally shows i'm almost diabetic. Nice eh.

My partner has been trying to lose weight forever!. When I met him he was about 76 Kilos, 7 years later he is now 82. He is not very tall (5' 6'') so I guess he is about 2 stone over weight. He does not eat very much but unfortunately drinks too much. For a long time I have suspected he is 'glucose intolerant', in that even when he has carbohydrate available he goes shaky and experiences 'low' blood sugar symptoms.

I dont look healthy at all and my family has a history of obesity and many health problems come with it. I want to prevent these health issues and start living/eating/working out right. I have watched the biggest loser and have always tried to lose weight but I can't or I don't know how. Please help me live healthier and stronger. I need to lose this weight. I have hard time sleeping and breathing because of it.

Glucose intolerance is when the body does not utilise the glucose in your body properly and the fasting blood glucose level is above 6.0 mmol/L or your blood glucose level is over 7.8 mmol/L 2 hours after consuming 75g of glucose. At this stage, with life style changes and exercises, you can still avoid getting diabetes. You could say it is pre diabetes. The symptoms of glucose intolerance can be those of hyperglycaemia and also tingling sensations.

My Tsh came back at .49 from 1.93 where I feel great! In 15 I never had an issue! I am due to get full panel thyroid tests in 3 weeks!

I have also heard that Cataracts can get worse only for people with Lactose Intolerance. Although, I am of Japanese decent, I do not think I am Lactose Intolerant. My mother and father are not lactose intolerant. However, I am only 21 years old and I've heard lactose intolerance develops later on in life.

Would jogging and running (at 80-84% mhr) 60 minutes a day six times a week increase the sugar level(in person who has normal fasting <105 glucose) and is there a risk of 46 year old male developing diabetes in the future as result of exercising very hard at the above FIT level?Should person exercise at lower intensity(even though he can exercise at higher intensity) for prevention of developing diabetes in the future?

Hi, every time I see the doctor or nurse they keep on at me to lose weight, I do all the right things but I cannot lose any, so I decided to stop my insulin 2 months ago and I have lost 20 pounds, thats great and I feel much better but now my blood glucose ranges from 13mmol(234mg/dl) in the morning to 25.5mmol(459mg/dl) at bed time. I dont feel ill or anything in fact I feel better, just thirsty. I dont know which is more serious to be over weight or have these high glucose levels.

This can progress to cirrhosis of the liver and can be associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. So, prevention or cure is by avoiding alcohol and treating diabetes, obesity and high triglyceride levels. The thinning of the cortex or parenchymal loss of the kidney could be due to causes like prior infections. Ultrasound only assess the structural abnormalities, to assess the functional status you could have a liver and kidney function tests done. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I am Diabetic and Obese. I am curious as to the actual real life frequency of obesity associated with Diabetes. I am anticipating speaking with anyone who shares my problem of obesity and the difficulties accompanying the never ending battle of weight loss. Do you find that every food you eat seems to adversly affect yous attempts to control your glucose level as well as your weight?

I think her doc should have advised her to get nutrition info and maybe also use a glucose testing meter. Not sure if she would need meds at this early stage, but he should have spoked to her about everything, in my opinion. Question - should my friend start getting more pro-active about her condition?

My doc ordered a few more tests for me and I'm just trying to figure out what the tests might be looking for. I know they're looking for a lactose and gluten intolerance but not sure about the rest. If anyone knows what some of these are and can shed some light on them thatd be great.

If you would bring your weight under control that would undoubtedly help, probably eliminate your pre-diabetic condition and might allay your other hormonal problems as well. Obesity is strongly linked to serious risks including not only diabetes but also cancer, stroke and heart attack!

I started taking Tricor about 6 months ago and since then my fasting glucose has been around 126 and my glucose intolerance is 178. My A1C has always been around 4.2 and now is 6.8. Are there any other medications out there for lowering triglycerides that wont cause this reaction? Tricor also makes me nausiated.

The back and knee problem may be related to the drug and the body. Glucose intolerance is really sensitivity towards the glucose-sugar levels. If one actually balance the meals, glucose can be replaced with fibers containing similar materials of glucose such as stuff found in apples and pineapples. Those fruits also can cure your numbness. I hope it helps.

I do know that neuropathy can be caused by lack of Vitamin B1 and B12 and also nerve damage can be caused by having a glucose intolerance or diabetes or by trauma to the nerves. Neuropathy in your thighs can be from a conditional call meralgia parasthetica which is compression of nerves in the groin area. Nerve problems in your arms can stem from problems in the neck. Wrist and hand problems can be from compression of the nerves in the carpal tunnel.

bacterial overgrowth was negative, lactose intolerance was negative but fructose intolerance was positive. My control number was 11 and the end number was 44...I was told anything resulting in +20 (so mine would be 31) is positive. Okay, so here are my questions...what does the 44 mean (if anything) low intolerance, high intolerance?

I think you should be meeting a physician and get yourself evaluated for Glucose intolerance and hypertension check. Keep me informed if you have any queries. Bye.
