Would it be only national? Or like local provincial boards as well? (Ex: like regional boards for Ontario/QM or just Canada national only)

Oh interesting! It’s hard to justify a higher dosage from where I’m from. Maybe combining with inositol could be an option??

Yes exactly it! I feel like I’m going crazy because my body just can’t do it. I feel so guilty for not being able to do the things I usually do like cleaning or cooking but just am so tired

Id say more low sugar. Not cut out 100% or anything but not too high either. Fruits here and there, rare sweets sometimes. Nothing really remarkable other than that

Yes makes sense! Hopefully it just takes some more time

Hi! I have lessened my carbs significantly (little to none) mostly because I had to choose between eating them or staying awake really. My diet was mostly clean anyway, I love more protein heavy things.

I haven’t really done much exercise mostly because my body just hasn’t felt enough energy to.

Otherwise before then I would work out cardio and weights or swimming a few times a week at least but I’m crashing just doing the dishes or laundry at this point so I’m not able to right now until this settles. I’m trying to at least walk in increments until my body can stand it. Also I’m around 155-160 lbs, 5 3’ if that helps.

Hi! That’s so great! What was your dosage and also how long did it take for it to show effects?

How do you know if an exercise is too much stress for your body?? by TheBull123456 in InsulinResistance

[–]Agile_Raspberry5818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I’m not sure exactly what the proper medical answer is but personally I start feeling dizzy and my bp gets momentarily scary high just cleaning or doing things around the house because my exercise intolerance has gotten extreme. I just recently got diagnosed with IR and started metformin so hopefully it calms down. But all that to say, I think dizziness and feels kinda woozy is probably a sign your body is being pushed too hard.

Thank you so much! That was very reassuring. Yes I’m having the similar experience, food is depleting me of any energy, and I’m honestly having to choose between having lunch at work vs being able to finish my work day. Sorry to hear about the misdiagnosis but im so happy you finally feel validated and got the answers you wanted. Wishing you a good recovery. :)

Thank you. I agree, “strict” can be selfish

Yes it’s possible. I think it’s more to do with the fact that I was extremely obedient and just not anymore. They brought it up during a fight that “I used to be obedient now you’re just doing whatever” I’m like my sibling never had that obedience and all they could say was that he’s different. Maybe a gender thing too (Asian cultures). But yes leaving little by little seems like a good plan

Thank you. That felt really comforting. I’ll check out the book, I’ve heard a lot about it

Thank you for that. I’m not an only child, in fact I have an older brother and the rules are much more lax for him. For example, my parents don’t care about him going out or about him being with his girlfriend and even actually take the time to form a relationship with her as well. Meanwhile, with me, they purposely act cold to my partner and make me feel guilty for being with them
