[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1846460, member: 85785"] Hi Derek, I am very good but really busy as pre season is always. I agree with your plan of action, I believe that as far as the RH is now in complete control, it should not be your first treatment in your conns, and other problems. If your initial insulin response is as weak as mine maybe some insulin response meds could be useful in boosting your insulin response. It would not be metformin for me, as my endocrinologist said that it would not be an effective drug to help with insulin production and not change anything much else but give you side effects in your digestion process, which is important not to upset, as metformin could possibly do. From this thread, sitagliptin does change the initial insulin response for me, it may have different results for you, but there are a few different gliptins that can alter your initial insulin response. I don't have the knowledge about how different gliptins work. Only my experience and reading about sitagliptin. I would ask my endocrinologist, if it was me. I also believe if you continue the way you are from your results, your Hba1c levels will be in diabetic range, you may eventually have to have diabetic blood glucose lowering drugs to help you anyway, with that which like a Gliptin would help with insulin. There are some diabetic drugs that you should be aware of, Glicizide for example. The types of drug that drop your blood glucose levels too quickly, even if insulin is suggested, I would be very wary of what meds, that could be prescribed. I do fear that something similar will eventually happen to me, where other conditions interfere with either my health or my RH! So far so good. I have cut down on everything including fruit, I was warned about my love of fruit, just like a lot of eating habits, you eat a couple of strawberries and you want more, half a banana doesn't just do it! So I never plan for fruit, just some frozen berries, I remember reading that frozen berries are easier on your liver, but my memory is not that good, a handful at most, the same with nuts, why can't you just eat one or two, no! It's got to be about a dozen or you just don't enjoy them! I would not worry about your cholesterol, if like me, my cholesterol levels corrected themselves through low carb, nowt else, just eat to your meter and keep your blood stabilised. Hopefully your doctor may have an answer, but it depends on wether he understands RH, as usual! Keep well mate, All the best. [/QUOTE]
