[QUOTE="jm164441, post: 1946673, member: 496317"] Until recently, I was operating under the belief that insulin resistance was 100% reversible and would be completely eliminated once I got to a normal weight. However, after almost 50 pounds lost over 4 months and on the verge of normal BMI, my glucose tolerance remains pathetic. In fact, it's gotten worse. 4 months ago, I could take ~30g carb and not go over 130mg/dl. Now, I can only take ~15g and hit the same blood sugar. Is IR a permanent thing that only drugs can treat? Am I simply always going to have this ludicrous amount of resistance, except when I exercise? My A1C one year ago was 5.5 (no diet) and I'm not even diagnosed yet, but I seem to be deteriorating so fast I'm utterly befuddled. [/QUOTE]
