Have you had testing for an insulinoma?I am producing twice the amount of insulin I need
This sounds exactly like me. What meds are you on?Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone else has been to the insulin resistance clinic at Addenbrookes? My local hospital have referred me there as we know I am producing twice the amount of insulin I need. Despite losing 3 stone, eating low carb and exercising regularly the blood sugars won’t shift. Hovering anywhere between 17 and 22 at the mo.
Thanks for the suggestion Indy, I'm at work but have had a quick google. I don't think its me as by sugar levers are high - I'm constantly hyper rather than hypo. Please correct me if I have mis - understood.Have you had testing for an insulinoma?
Hi, I'm currently taking, Metformin, Pioglitozone and Ozempic. Have previously been on Gliclazide, Victoza, Dapagliflozen, Insulin - humilin I. My meds keep getting chopped and changed. I find they seem to work for a little while then stop working. What are you on? Makes me feel better someone else is in the same boat.This sounds exactly like me. What meds are you on?
I’m not 100% sure, that’s what I’m trying to find out. Hope someone can help.What is an Insulin Resistance clinic? What sort of treatment do they provide?
Thoughts on this please?
Sorry. I found low fat only advice a joke not your post.Having read the patient information leaflet from the link, the treatment is advising a very low fat diet to treat both this, and any fatty liver.
Thoughts on this please?
Thank you for your support. I fear they might not see me anyway due to my weightTo me it just sounds like more of the same old same old, but I wish @Emmasndco the best of luck. Hopefully they are able to help in some way.
Thank you for clarifying. I did wonder what I had said xSorry. I found low fat only advice a joke not your post.
Why not? The patient information link talks a lot about weightThank you for your support. I fear they might not see me anyway due to my weight
I think they will simply say my weight is the cause of my insulin resistance.
Actually, I read the criteria for referring as being under three possible routes. Is it possible that your GP is thinking of lipodystrophy? There is an interesting article about it hereThank you for your support. I fear they might not see me anyway due to my weight
Leptin treatment currently isn't great. In its infant yrs of medicine. Although loads on medical reports as reference rather than a solution.Actually, I read the criteria for referring as being under three possible routes.

The article suggests that leptin treatment might help, and the CUH leaflet mentions leptins.
