[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2000241, member: 41816"] Hi, No medic that I have ever seen has shown the slightest interest in my insulin levels, so I have never had a diagnosis of insulin resistance. :D In fact, the first measure ever taken was a self funded fasting insulin test around a month ago - which showed... DRUMROLL... the high insulin resistance that I know I have had since childhood. How do I know this? Well it was kind of inevitable. All of the following are likely to cause insulin resistance - childhood onset of RH continuing into adulthood - polycystic ovary syndrome onset during teens - a pituitary gland tumour (produces excess prolactin) in my late teens - medication for the prolactinoma that is known to raise insulin resistance All of which led to obesity (which raises insulin resistance further) With Type 2 diabetic level blood glucose arriving a few years ago, some 40 odd years after the dominos started to fall. Its one of the reasons I am always banging on about T2s and RHers playing a long game. In my opinion, it really isn’t enough to [B][I]just[/I][/B] control your [B][I]current[/I][/B] symptoms. Play the long game. We need to look after ourselves well enough now, so that we delay or reduce the deterioration (from age, stress or other health issues) so that we can continue to have our health for decades. So many of us start young, and have many decades ahead. Might as well enjoy them :D [/QUOTE]
