 Alternative Remedies....
Hello. I have PCOS with IR. I have been reading the book The IR Diet...and read that hydrochlorothiazide and beta blockers increase insulin production. I am on both of those and have been for a couple of years. It totally makes sense now because my symptoms seem to worsen rapidly after I started these meds. Does anyone know of any alternatives for the hydrochlorothiazide? I take it for swelling in my fingers, feet, legs, etc. So much so that yesterday I didn't take it and was 4+ pounds this morning on the scale. I am currently taking met and hope to go off the beta blockers when my IR and sugar gets under control better but I was hoping to find something better for the swelling so I could get off those meds soon. I currently take met, chromium and B-12. TIA! |
