The state of the art approach for all newly diagnosed type 2 people (you can look up joslin diabetes centre), is to start them on metformin to reduce the insulin resistance, and then to give them insulin. If you are early enough in the diagnosis, you will need only low doses of insulin to get excellent blood sugar. This is far safer and more effective than multi-oral therapy.
can anyone tell me how much time does it take for metformin to effect the insulin level . and i dont see major sideeffect caused by metformin . what do u guys think . i was overweight , now i reduced my weight to the normal range with dieting and exercise still my insulin is high . every help will be hugely appreciated i am currently writing this with huge brainfogg and sleepiness .
Like byetta or something. Also I read that crf causes insulin resistance. Any ideas?? His bs has been 350- 500 before adding fast insulin.
Examples are insulin zinc suspension, protamine zinc insulin, and the insulin analogues insulin glargine and insulin detemir. The latter two insulins are now the most widely used long-acting insulins.
* Biphasic insulins: mixtures of short-acting and intermediate-acting insulins in different proportions, such as 30/70, 50/50. Examples are NovoMix 30, Humulin M3, Insuman comb and Humalog Mix25.
I used Byetta for a long time and I am not an expert or medical person. You are best to get the information from your doctor. Before I started using Byetta, I had to take classes from a nurse on how I had to inject Byetta into my stomach. It was prescribed by my Doctor. Byetta has side effects reported by some people but I had no problems with it other than the expense. It does give you a feeling of fullness and it has a nickname (Spit).
I have been sick with a cold/flu for three weeks. Two days ago, I developed diarrhea. It seemed to occur immediately after eating. Today, the diarrhea was bright yellow and I passed something the size of a small grape (also yellow in color). I'm currently on synthroid (for hypothyroidism), effexor (for depression), and metformin & byetta (for insulin resistence). I've been on the Byetta for nearly a month, but have not suffered any side effects to date.
I think that with the insulin resistance that their cells are not accepting the energy effectively and it is mostly being stored as fat. On my study of Insulin Resistance, a calorie can become more than a calorie.
I have been to the doctor. They tell me it is input as opposed to output. They keep turning it back on me. I don't know what else I can do. I don't know why they keep gaining. I feel that there are factors beyond my control.
Thank you for writing back to me.
I am diagnosed with "insulin resistance" . I have tried Metformin, Byetta, and nothing is working. No insulin. My endocrinologist is going to put in a gluclose monitor on Tues for a week, And probably going to put me in the hospital for three days and I think it's "fasting" to see what happens and when. I am frustrated as I seem to check my blood sugar all the time. I am going to pour water out of my fingertips.
1. Why he is treating insulin resistance without diabetes so aggressively and 2. If you were that insulin resistant you wouldn't have been able to lose weight so easily that the doctor commented it was too fast.
I would make sure the doctor explains to you what he is treating and why. I would absolutely want clarification (by A1C test) as to whether you have diabetes.
If you are type 2, insulin resistance is considered key part of the problem (though insulin resistance can also happening in Type 1).
To address insulin resistance you can:-
1. Lose excess weight if you are overweight
2. Adopt a low carb or even a ketogenic diet (be sure to get enough protein and don't overdo the fats)
3. Regular vigorous physical exercise
4. Insulin sensitizing drug such as metformin.
You need to have both your fasting insulin and fasting glucose (sugar) tested. Once you have both blood tests you can calculate your HOMA. Your HOMA will tell you whether you are insulin resistant or not. The formula is on the website I've provided.
IR is a PREDICTOR of SVR. Being insulin resistant impairs your ability to achieve a sustained response to Chemotherapy drugs peginterferon and ribavirin...
HCV slowly damages the mitochondria through a process of oxidative stress.
IR or insulin resistance is a sign of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes. I am assuming you are referring to either the A1C or fasting blood glucose levels. The first thing of course is a change in life style. This does not mean you have to stop eating everything but to be more judicious in your eating habits. In addition, regular exercise is paramount in reducing those :numbers". Talk this over with your physician and get started on these changes.

t lose weight when I was hyperthyroid due to insulin resistance. I already had insulin resistance and this condition worsened to pre diabetes once I was hyperthyroid. I only started to lose weight since reversing my insulin resistance.
Although insulin levels were never extraordinarily high, the increase between the 2nd and 3rd hours seems to be abnormal and indicative of delayed insulin response, a pattern associated with insulin resistance.
Several years ago I had elevated cortisol throughout the day. Last year, is was below range for most of the day. It seems to have flip flopped, while DHEA has stayed consistently borderline high (but still in range) and testosterone is elevated.
I would really like some help with this. Byetta has been wonderful so far, and I've lost 30 lbs, yay! But now I've developed insomnia - terrible, only 3 hours of sleep a night insomnia, which has never bothered me before. If I skip my second Byetta shot for the day, I can usually get a full night's sleep. So that's certainly a clue that I may not be able to take the full two doses of Byetta a day.
m so glad you are trying to clean yourself up, but do see a doctor on being insulin resistant. I almost died because of this. Insulin resistance is nothing to take for granted. Please seek medical advice, and keep up the great work for trying to clean up.
