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

designrp — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:30:43 +0000

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?

How Do The Pancreas And The Liver Work Together To Maintain Homeostasis?

designrp — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:26:57 +0000

homeostasis is the maintaining of the normal concentrations etc in the body.
In the case of the pancreas and the liver, it is the concentration of glucose in the blood that is monitored and maintained. this needs to be maintained in order to provide fuel for your body’s cells, particularly those in the brain. this is why diabetes is such a problem as this system breaks down and their blood sugars are not maintained inside normal boundaries.
If the blood glucose is high, say after a large meal has been eaten, the pancreas secretes insulin which tells the liver to take glucose out of the blood and store it as glycogen.
If the blood glucose drops low, say when someone has just been exercising for a period of time, the pancreas secretes glucagon which tells the liver to turn the stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood.

How Does The Insulin With Diabetes Work?

designrp — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:28:19 +0000

Well, that was a bit confusing. I’m doing a fasting blood test soon and while I don’t think I have it, I’m curious as to what the treatment is. Do you always have to inject the insulin? Why can’t it be taken as a tablet? How do you know when you need to inject it?
Also, can you have type 2 diabetes when you’re 15? Again, I don’t think I have it, but my symptoms are milder and closer to those of type 2 diabetes than type 1…

I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and have been prescribed 2500 mg metformin daily.
Many ppl with PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or insulin resistance lose weight bc their insulin isnt working properly without the aid of metformin or the like. I have been on it for over a week and have not lost any weight.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced weight loss after a couple weeks, rather than immediately.
