[QUOTE="moey90moey90, post: 2115137, member: 512739"] Guys im a gp I do know what diabetes is and how its diagnosed but i was just confused about tge results. Im just a gp and no endocrinologist so whatever i studied about diabetes during college was not in depth as what an endocrinologist studied. What i also know is that there is something called obesity related diabetes and thats not only because youre overweight...normal BMI people can even have it. Its because the internal organs that regulated glucose metabolism ( liver and pancreas ) are covered with a thick layer of fat and that causes them to function in a less than optimum manner. Ive had a fatty liver ( not alcoholic fatty liver ) for years and maybe thats the reason but ive always got regular blood check ups and everything was good. So thats why i was wondering if is was a phase or something is actually wrobg with my pancreas( but i think not brcause my OGTT was normal )or my tissue insulin receptors. And i wanted to know now if i stay at about 85 kg now but start eating more carbs but try not to gain a massive amount of food..will this keep my glucose levels normal or not? And another question.. if i start taking metformin just to keep my weight at about 85kg and normal blood sugars but without qctually dieting...has anyone tried this before ? And did it work? Sorry for the long post guys and thanks a lot for replying :). [/QUOTE]
