Message: <blockquote data-quote="Needing help!" data-source="post: 2458642" data-attributes="member: 550456">Hello!I’m very new here but am hoping for some help/advice!For the past few months I’ve been experiencing a lot of symptoms of insulin resistance - lethargy, difficulty concentrating, skin discolourisation (which I suspect is acanthosis nigiricans but the GP is very dismissive of my concerns), ankle swelling after eating, constant tinnitus…My GP is ignoring all my concerns because I’m technically underweight and she insists my fears are all in my head.Had my hbA1c tested and came back normal but I’m also anaemic so could give false negative.I have a home glucose test kit and consistently get prediabetic fasting numbers (around 6ish)I try to greatly restrict carbs to reduce numbers (can get them to 5ish with 50g daily carbs)I’m at a bit of a loss about what to do - I feel like I need help with metformin to get my insulin resistance symptoms under control but I don’t want to force my body into high levels to prove to the GP that I have prediabetes/insulin resistance…?!Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated!!many thanks!</blockquote>
