Meanwhile, he and his colleagues are investigating the biological mechanisms by which vitamin E or pioglitazone might reverse fatty liver disease. Cusi’s research group is testing pioglitazone against fatty liver in Hispanics, who seem prone to the disease, and in people with diabetes."

For women who are unresponsive to clomiphene,the oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin could be of little help, or pioglitazone, may bring resumption of regular cycles and ovulation. These agents reduce the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia in PCOS.
These are actually medically prescribed medicines for PCOS.As this syndrome is very common in women the case is often individualised and treatment option will be processed and prescribed.Fell free to talk to your Doc.
Is the pitting edema progressive? Are you on pioglitazone? or rosiglitazone? Answers to these questions would further help.
I am obese (300lbs), diabetic (type 2) and require medication to control hypetension. I take the following medications – Metformin, Pioglitazone, Victoza (liraglutide), Amlodipine, Ramipril, Bendroflumethiazide, Asprin and Statin.
I have a strange and embareasin problem. I hope someone out there may be able to offer some insight. I have always had sensitive nipples but in the last few days sensitivity in my left nipple has gone crazy.
HI,
It sounds like your wife will definitely need an additional medication--if not restarting the Pioglitazone, then an alternative. There are lots of different diabetes medications available that will help. Those glucose levels are indeed too high and should be addressed soon. Please ask your wife to contact her doctor as soon as possible(I suggest within the next 2 days a most) and discuss being started on another medication to bring her levels down.
Evangelin posted about this youtube video. "Sugar , the bitter truth"
It is a long video , but what I did not know before watching it is that
High Fructose Corn Syrup metabolically is as bad as alcohol for the liver.
The majority of processed foods we find in the supermarket have High Fructose
Corn Syrup which can majorly effect obesity and fatty liver.
Other newer insulin-sensitising medicines include pioglitazone. This is not currently recommended for PCOS. For certain people with PCOS, a specialist may advise that metformin be taken. However, further research is needed to confirm the role of these medicines in the treatment of PCOS.
Oral steroids and antimalarials may temporarily slow the progression of hair loss, but they could have side effects such as depression, insomnia, abdominal pain, skin rashes and retina damage. And despite the assumed hormonal link, hormone replacement therapy has not been shown to be of any benefit.
Some people think there is little that can be done for frontal fibrosing alopecia but this is not the case.
s benefits are less clear, according to the latest findings from the Pioglitazone vs Vitamin E vs Placebo for the Treatment of Nondiabetic Patients with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (PIVENS) trial, reported online April 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine......."

I hope this helps.
Weight loss through improved diet and increased physical activity has been the cornerstone therapy of NAFLD. Recent therapies such as pioglitazone and vitamin E have been shown to be beneficial. Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and statins may offer additional benefits.,,,"

Studies of these medications—including metformin, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone—are being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and should answer the question of whether these medications are beneficial in NASH.
Insulin-sensitizing agents, such as the two new thiazolidinediones, pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia), and metformin (Glucophage)
Medications that lower lipids such as statin drugs and Lopid
Drugs that improve blood flow, such as pentoxifylline (Trental)
Presumably, weight loss through exercise and diet modification along with insulin-sensitizing agents will help reverse fatty infiltration of the liver.
The newer antidiabetic medications make the body more sensitive to insulin and may help reduce liver injury in patients with NASH. Studies of these medications—including metformin, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone—are being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and should answer the question of whether these medications are beneficial in NASH."
So NASH is a very serious medical condition which requires expert medical care for the best prognosis.
Depression? How can I handle this?
I dont think its depression its just a part of pregnancy like i used to wear size 6 now i am size 10 and sometimes 12 its weird going from being really pretty to big and gross. well thats how i feel and the tired thing i so understand i took today off work just so i could sleep and im still laying in bed lol. im hoping it passes soon.
Hi, I am 19 years old. I think I start to have depression when I was 10 years old. So currently it is already 9 years for me. Currently I am now studying in private college but I start to live by myself and didn't join any clubs. I graduated my diploma in 19 and within my college life, I didn't join any student clubs so when other people are enjoying, I feel like I am suffering.
