Hello everyone, I just discovered that I have diabetes. Apparently It really is genetic. I work out and eat right but nothing helped. I'm thinking about taking asking me doctor for a prescription for avandia. I've taken metformin and byetta, but neither helped. Has anyone taken avandia and have any stories to tell about it? Anything will be helpful.

" I was told i was insulin resistant and not diabetic. I just found out that they are the same thing. The only difference is that my blood sugar drops instead on raising. That's because when my cells finally recognize the insulin they get flooded with it. I tried the metformin and byetta to fix the insulin resistance. "

" Very interesting Yes I have heard of lows one individual dropped to 1.9 that is below deadline happens to her repeadetly very interessting thanks for your take on the reason behind this. Do some research into it doubt you'll find any very rare phenomenon..
Almost all type 2 go high unless you are taking a insulin then it is posssible to go low not nearly as critical as a type 1

Losing visceral fat is what loweres insulin resistance get BMI to normal should have 2 or 3 fold improvement .

Maintain levels fastidiously for a year and you may experience beta cell regeneration.

I don't think you need worry about diabetic complication some uncontrolled type 2 never experience numbness pain lesion that do not heel blindness etc.. the girl that has your condition is named KrisLooks to be early 40s Martha is 64 she has numbness the capillaries in her eyes are bleeding.

You see the purpose of chats teach you how to interact with peole in the real world in My case I am 57 Ia mm alos mentallly ill BP! bipolar very high suicicdally low I am fortunate my expression of inner sorrow is hatred not depressiom a much easier task

Its is amazing synchronicity that Kris and you have the same condition believe me if you are in fact telling the truth and not a troll
LOL

ASmazing your glycagon(sp) signalikng becomes so diregulated
you drop to unconscious ness. When you eat food do you have a meter then are the numbers right To be insulin resistant and not diabetic means you have lots of insulin you very well may we have little

It also can mean IGT
