How To Get Off A Weight Loss Plateau With Insulin Resistance?

designrp — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:28:46 +0000

I am on metformin for insulin resistance and have PCOS. I was losing weight steadily for 6 months, and have since hit a one month plateau of no loss (and no gain). I tried increasing vegetables and reducing sugar even more, as well as keeping up with exercise, but it seems to keep me the same and not lose.
Any ideas for coming off the plateau? The doctor recommended coming off metformin for 2 weeks and then restarting. Does that work? Any other ideas?

What Are The Proper Terms For Getting Blood Work Done To Check For Insulin Resistance?

I feel like I have it but my Dr. said that I don’t based on my lab results. Glucose serum and C-Peptide were checked. I was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance about 8 years ago, and have all the same symptoms. I stopped going to my endocrinologist b/c I didn’t have insurance at the time and now I do. The Dr. that checked me recently for it is not a specialist. Could her telling me that everything came back normal be false?

Need to lose weight, but not taking any medications for the insulin resistance. I will start walking again and monitoring my food intake (breakfast,lunch, and dinner) but what else can I do to lose the weight. Currently I am not a diabetic. From my understanding it supposely very hard for someone who is insulin resistance to lose weight.

What Is The Difference Between Insulin Resistance And Diabetes?

And are some people more sensitive to changes in their blood sugar than others? I am told that I am insulin resistant. I can feel bad (extreme fatigue, nausea, sometimes get shakey, etc.) but I’ll take my sugar and it’s 71…which my mom, who is a nurse, says is ok. Or sometimes the exact opposite will happen and I will take my sugar and it’s 135, which I am told is also “normal”.

Also, does metformin help to make you lose weight. I know its not a diet pill, but does getting your insulin back to normal really make that much of a difference, if you are eating healthier?
