[QUOTE="cugila, post: 174232, member: 15325"] Yes, I agree with what you say, however the stumbling block here is that Leona says she eats a 'healthy' diet, has meals bought in to her and I am not sure if she is overweight or not. Lifestyle measures are a way to manage Insulin Resistance, with diet changes to help reduce weight, reduce the intake of simple carbs and have an adequate protein intake. Increased exercise also helps. Obviously there may also have to be drugs too. I was wondering what the carb content of these prepared meals is that Leona gets ? That would have to be covered by Insulin, more Insulin. Could that in itself be the reason why she needs a much higher dose ? Dieticians are not exactly renowned for getting it right every time. I spent 10 yrs nearly killing myself because of wrong dietary advice ! Not arguing.....just interested to know more. Makes a change for me to be asking the questions :) [/QUOTE]
