I was diagnosed with type II diabetes 3 months ago. I was started on byetta at the routine initial dose which was increased 2 months ago. I am only taking byetta, and no oral hypoglycemics (metformin, etc.)I have lost 29 lbs in that length of time, primarily due to decreased appetite, nausea, and vomiting. I understand that this is in all likelyhood due to delayed gastric emptying. My question: Is this ever going to get better???
These fruits are hardest to digest and can cause fructose intolerance. Excessive fructose can lead to leptin resistance, which could cause weight gain if combined with a high fat and calorie diet. High levels of fructose can also raise blood pressure. Do write to us again.

One secret way which I want to share is an amazing water hack, it works by decreasing the leptin resistance in the body. With Leptitox, you can boost your body's response to the leptin hormone and reprogram your hypothalamus. Leptitox will also accelerate fat burning and remove toxic proteins from the body.

Let's share comments.
Are you a type 1 or type 2 diabetic? He is type 2 he started taking a new medication called byetta. You inject in your arm before you meals. My husband has lost 40 lbs in the last 6 months. He just can't eat like he used to since he has been on the byetta. It curves your appetite and apparently helps your body produce it's own insulin. It might be something you want to run by your endo doctor. Let me know.

The best way that you can make this powerful hormonal system work for you, rather than against you, is to follow a food plan that:
1) does not lead to excessive hunger
2) to ingest foods that do not overstimulate insulin like sugars
3) to avoid foods that are highly rewarding i.e. like junk food.
Magnesium deficiency (as Red Star mentioned), leptin resistance with high circulating leptin, is common with diabetes sufferers.
Usually leptin resistance precedes insulin resistance and may lead to
other hormonal deficits in the long run because of increased cortisol at the expense of other hormones, which eventually results in adrenal fatigue, as it is unsustainable (high cortisol) over long time.
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've had insulin resistance for decades which didn't impact on my thyroid gland but it has affected my cells. From all my research, it looks like inflammatory cytokines due to insulin resistance caused my thyroid cellular resistance. My cellular thyroid resistance symptoms have improved since reversing insulin resistance and reducing visceral fat (still have a way to go getting rid of all that stubborn internal fat!).
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. But I really like Byetta, love the help it gives me with my sugar levels, and don't want to give it up. Any suggestions?
Please also consider gentle intermittent fasting, which works well to improve insulin sensitivity. Best supplements for insulin resistance are magnesium, lipoic acid, inositol, and berberine. The Pill is not a treatment for this type (or any type) of PCOS because it impairs insulin sensitivity. Improvement for Type 1 PCOS is slow and gradual over 6-9 months. Please see my Insulin Resistance post.
Not a pill, but you may want to discuss Byetta with your MD. It is an injection with the tiniest needle you will ever see, taken 30-60 min prior to breakfast and dinner. It helps with blood sugar and takes away your appetite by making you feel full. There are also two newer products. Good luck.
I had to change to Byetta in about 2 weeks (finished Victoza sample and insurance would only pay for Byetta). I developed nausea at the smaller dose of Victoza, and never used the larger dose. The nausea was unchanged with the change of meds.....and I have lost a LOT of weight (29 pounds). But the nausea started within a day or two of starting it. At least for me.
Like byetta or something. Also I read that crf causes insulin resistance. Any ideas?? His bs has been 350- 500 before adding fast insulin.
I do not know much about leptin production. However, I do not think the uterus or ovaries produce leptin. Weight gain after hysterectomy is common but I do not know the mechanism. I personally do not have the energy, motivation, vibrancy, love of life I had prior to my hysterectomy so I am not as active. However, I have not gained weight because I do not have an appetite.

Has anyone here tried Green-Fu?
leptin resistance, inflammation, dieting, nutrient deficiencies such as low iron, selenium, zinc, chromium, Vitamin B6 and B12, Vitamin D, iodine, low testosterone, low human growth hormone, insulin dependent diabetes, pain, environmental toxins, free radical load, hemorrhagic shock, liver disease and kidney disease.
Your Free T3 to Reverse T3 ratio is only 1.4, so that is lower than recommended levels of about 1.8 minimum.
