Insulin Intolerance?

Post by Keith_Boyer »

Was just told that I was insulin intolerant. Great news is I have no health insurance so no great docotrs visits for me. So what is it? Anyone?
Thanks

Sounds like you possibly have Insulin resistance, which means from memory, your Insulin doesn't respond to Sugar levels in the system, and they can increase, rather than being processed properly, which could cause problems if you have high Bloodsugar that isn't being processed properly.

I don't know much more than that, but it sounds like it could be that.

Thanks for the responses. I am Insulin Resistant and according to nutritionist it is considerd " pre-diabetes" I was told that I can take insulin shot at age 40 (curently 35) or age 60 its all upto me. I have found that withthe proper diet this can be a managale condition. Considering things like HIV and cancer, I am not in a bad place at all. Just need to stick to a more healthy balanced diet
