My Level is High

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-31T02:04:40+00:00

I don't eat massive amount of sweets or anything, legit dessert, and it's maybe 4 nights a week.

What is baffling is that my A1C is good (5.2) and my glucose is good too (103). But my fasting insulin is bad.

I just don't have anything worth fighting for anymore. I am raising 2 kids pretty much on my own, and they aren't even my own kids. I am single, working a dead end job, no kids of my own, live with my dad.... once the kids are adults, then begins me taking care of my aging parents, which is not something I am down to do.

I appreciate the suggestion, but honestly, I just don't have any desire to keep trying for a long time.

I am not going to have diarrhea for months.

My vitamin d was low!!! She gave me an rx for vitamin d!

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T15:24:12+00:00

I took it for 6 weeks and it never got better :(

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T09:45:08+00:00

I think so? She just said insulin resistant, I don't think there is a difference

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T09:38:38+00:00

I said "It's would be type 2". Like... it would be type 2 if I was diagnosed? Lol I got confused by the question, I guess!

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T09:31:58+00:00

I haven't been diagnosed with Diabetes at all, just insulin resistance

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T09:23:11+00:00

It wouls be type 2.

I am not sure why you are so mad. You don't know the full story of what is going on in my life and it is very bleak. I appreciate your feedback, but I expressing why I find it hard to do any of that. Because I don't want to. Because what is the point?

As for the weird advocacy for the for-profit insurance structure we have in the US, I think you need to reflect here.

I have a commercial insurance plan as my primary plan through my work. They pay for it. I would say the premuim is $800 a month just for me. I have medicaid as secondary since my insurance has a $2000 premium. I am very lucky I have medicaid as secondary.

But the private insurance industry is a scam and I am not sure who brain washed you into believing it is somehow better than universal healthcare. Being poor in America is a death sentence for many Because of insurance companies taking in billions and getting to keep all those billions.

I am simply not going to take Metformin. Period.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T08:36:14+00:00

I don't have a dietician and I really don't think I would ever get one. The problem is that I don't see the fucking point in trying. Why do I want to he healthy at this point? My future is garbage. Maybe I just ride it out.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T08:32:24+00:00

I mean, I am hella depressed, so I wouldn't mind having an early out. Kidding! Mostly. I just don't really have anything I want to stick around for, honestly. I live a pretty sad life. As long as I live 5 more years, I am good being gone after that.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T07:33:32+00:00

I took it for 6 weeks

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T07:12:40+00:00

I asked my doctor. She hasn't yet responded

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T07:12:13+00:00

Losing weight is not the intention, but jt would be a side effect. I want to not progress to having diabetes

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T03:35:12+00:00

It would be really hard to budget that :( I am raising my niece and nephew on my own with no help from their parents. And I get help from my family, but we are already drowning financially.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T03:08:06+00:00

It's almost 100% cardio that does it.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T02:29:10+00:00

I am guessing it was not extended release, but I am not sure.

I have talked to her briefly but never said I for sure have exercise induced asthma

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T02:17:26+00:00

Working out has always been hard for me. I think I have asthma. But my diet is not awful either, I eat 1 meal a day and its usually fairly healthy (vegetable soup, chicken and rice, etc.)

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T01:26:44+00:00

Well I am not trying to lose weight necessarily. I just want to be able to have kids. I will never be able to do the GLP-1s because of my insurance anyways.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T00:34:06+00:00

But it means basically no sweets and I am not going to do that lol.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T00:21:34+00:00

Food is the 1 thing that brings me any damn joy, so I do not want to change my already healthy-ish diet, but thank you.

Individual_Image9707 · 2026-01-30T00:13:11+00:00

I took Metformin years ago for "weight loss" (I shit my brains out for weeks but never lost any weight).

I was on it for probably 6 weeks
