Afternoon friends, I need to consult the female half of the T1 hive mind on this one! Do any of you ladies find that the week before your period results in higher readings and a degree of insulin resistance? And if so, how do you counter it? I’m finding that my “foot on the floor” Novorapid...

Can members tell me the difference between Physiological IR and Diabetic IR, please? TIA

I have been told my body is making more than enough insulin. My glucose level has been 450+ over seven years now. I had a bad reaction to insulin injectables and got tested by an Allergist. My doctor says I'm allergic to insulin, that my immune system is making antibodies to neutralize my...

Hi friends, I was watching tv with my kids and accepted a little piece of cake and some pork jerky (which will have some sugar in it). I know that's not optimal, but it was tiny amounts. I did a quick test (probably about 1hr after eating) and was 8.9. That's a bit higher than I'd expected, so I...

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2017/dec/professors-scoop-award-for-protein-breakthrough-in-type-2-diabetes-and-alzheimers-97847575.html this article today here on diabetes.co.uk seems to tell that one of the problems in pancreas death is an overwhelming of the system conserning proteins...

Hi all, I hope you can help me. I am on merformin for around last 6-7 weeks because of my insulin resistance. The result of my ogtt test showed that while my insulin was rising to a higher number, my blood sugar was going down rapidly. So it was reactive hypoglycemia due to insulin...

Hi there, I recently had a planned miscarriage at 21weeks (about 2months ago now) and since then my insulin needs haven't dropped as expected but increased. I am still carrying an extra 10lbs of baby weight but I'm also struggling with the grief and depression as well as an underactibe thyroid...

I wanted to tap into the experience and research people have done. I am a bit perplexed. I am looking at the ND research and it does not talk too much about IR other than clearing the liver of fat to improve it. Then the idea is to remove fat from Pancreas to restore Insulin production. But I...

Hello! Im not sure if anyone remembers me, but I was here in about June talking about being suicidal and not having support. I still do have suicidal thoughts sometimes but my support system has gotten a lot better and I feel more able to talk to my support team about it. One major update is...

I have been gaining weight unintentionally for 2 years. I do eat well, countşng calories proteins carbs etc, (beside the times I cannot control sugar addiction attacks) and I do serious resistance and cardio trainings 4 times a week. I still gain weight slowly. I am 25 years old, not yet...

"Weight loss can cause your LDL cholesterol levels to go up temporarily, which can in turn cause your total cholesterol value to go up. HDL cholesterol levels tend to go down as the release of fatty acids in your blood causes an increase in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, another type of...

Hey guys, Sorry to bother you again with my struggles... Just wondering if anyone lived a similar situation. So since 3 days I have a drastic change in my body's response to insulin; I became MUCH more sensitive, my insulin apparently being 500% stronger?? I started having constantly big and...

I am on a low carb diet for my insulin resistance, under 60 carbs a day. I lost 7 pounds as of three weeks ago but since last week my weight has not moved at all. It stays between 226 and 225.8 pounds. How do you overcome a plateau? I eat chicken and salad for two meals of my day and I eat dark...

I have insulin resistance. I am not on any medication. Below I have posted my diet/what I eat in a day. In the past 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds doing this. However in the past week I didn't lose anything. Is there anything you would change or add for more weight loss results. I fast until 2 pm...

I have high insulin resistance and I am currently on no medications. How many carbs should I eat a day to lose weight weekly. My diet is mostly protein and low carb right now. Also does fat cause trouble with insulin? I wanted to try keto because I heard from one source that eating fat helps you...

I've lost seven pounds on a low carb diet in the past 3 weeks. I have insulin resistance and I am not on any medications. I eat under 60 carbs a day. Just recently my weight was at 225 and now it is at 226. I have flirted with a little more carbs recently maybe at 70. How many carbs should...

I have insulin resistance, pretty high almost tipping the scale. I recently made life changes in past three weeks and went on a low carb diet. I went from 232 pounds to 225 pounds within that time frame. However this week I haven't dropped weight at all. I gained a pound. I have been having...

My main goal is to lose weight. I haven't been able to at all since and before I've been diagnosed. I just switched to a low carb diet, keeping my carbs under or a little over 50 grams daily, and eating mostly protein and salad. I've done this for two days with exercise and the scale hasn't...
