does this mean that if you get to you loose weight and go down to your normal or ideal weight than does the diabetes type 2 goes away? and you dont have to be on metformin?
| Keeping hormones at bay is a pretty personal thing and it depends on a lot of external factors like diet, genetics etc. I have been able to lower my dose thanks to weight loss, but my Dr and I agree that with my family history I will likly be on it long term - until at least menopause. My Insulin issues started when I was 115 pounds as a teen, so weight wasn't a factor in my developing IR. As a result, while I have been able to cut back my dose with my activity level and IR diet, my IR is always here and I will likely have to stay on some dose of the drug to control my hormones.
Some ladies can keep their insulin controlled with lifestyle alone, some cannot. It's a matter or trial and error to see what will work for each of us individually.
Hope it helps!
