insulin resistant chart or guidelines

wubby1963 · 01-09-2005, 01:20 PM

New to the forum, metformin and cystic ovarian syndrome.
I was told I was insulin resistant with a fasting level of 18, I have seen so many differant things about this level.

I am an obese woman, fluctuating hormones, skin tags, cystic ovaries, new fine hair growth on my stomach and face, but balding on my head.

I also have diverticular disease which is causing some trouble with my change in eating.

I will quit now but anyone with advice with guidelines would be appreciated . I was diagnosed by an gyno and she wants me to see an endo doctor also . I think it would be wise for me to see a dietician who specializes in this also what you all think THANKS BUNCHES FOR ANY HELP Suzie

Well, I don't have a whole lot of advice, except to check out all the stickies and read and learn as much as you can about Pcos and IR, (I'm sorry I don't know anything about the diverticular disease though). I also highly recommend getting the "Insulin Resistance Diet" book, it's great and very easy to read and a very "Do-able" plan to follow. Also, check out the diet exercise board for more info on the IR diet and other eating plans. Best wishes to you. Hugs.
