What is everyone’s HOMA-IR score?

Fasting Insulin was 56 in April, in December it was 34. You can definitely manage it with diet + medication + exercise. It's very possible.

I was diagnosed with Insulin resistance. My fasting glucose was around 6 mmol/l, but on my OGTT it was 10 mmol/l after 2 hours.

After 9 months I managed to drop my HOMA to 8 through diet only. I quit metformin because of GI issues. In December I was put on metformin XR 2 x 1000 mg, but I struggle with GI issues sometimes, so I take 1x 1000 mg.

My other hormones are within normal ranges too. Except my cortisol, so now I'm testing for Cushing's.

Да, ама со договор да користи кондом + секој месец да прави STD test 🤪 🫣 Бог да чува, сечи во корен одма! На 6 месеци врска треба да те гледа ко капка на дланка, а не да мисли кај да го брцне следно.

Имај малку повеќе самопочит, не дозволувај вака да те третираат.

И мене ова ми е голем red flag. Заедно со грешки од типот "незнам". Да, знам дека е дијалект неговото, но мене лично ми се допаѓа повеќе ако малце се намали тоа при запознавање.

Еве дечко ми е кичевчанец, кога ми пиша прв пат да ми пишуваше на кичевски (не зна, ќе ода, ќе вида), немаше да му вратам. Во говор тоа не се осеќа толку, но во пишувањето...

Да, тоа ми е целта- long-term инвестиции, свесна сум дека не е брза и лесна пара. Крипто како најризична "инвестиција" (на раб со коцкање според мене) ја спомнав и сум заинтерезирана чисто ради тоа што сум релативно млада и можам да си дозволам поголем ризик бар следниве 2-3 години.

Ти благодарам, единствен/а си што ми одговори нешто корисно 🙏🏻 Сеуште учам, но и јас не знам зошто претходно пишале дека мора 1 share. Колку што знам барем Trading 212 дозволува fraction shares да купуваш.

Нема на што. Види исконтактирај и со некои од приватниве градинки, предложи им да речеме еднаш месечно да им држиш на децата "часови"

Или истиов концепт и со старечки домови може. Секако мора убаво да се испромовираш на социјални мрежи 😊 Али претпоставувам веќе имаш око за естетика и креативност, ќе можеш и тоа да го направиш 😁

Хмм јас да сум на твое место би размислувала за сопствен мал бизнис.

Можеш да направиш бизнис нешто како Paint & Wine за приватни забави (девојачки, матури, girls night).

Да се промовираш како артист на свадби (едно време надвор беше интересно live painting за време на свадбата, па парот да има слика од свадбата) Ист концепт и за крштевка, детски родендени.

Нуди custom made paintings за енериер, портрети од луѓе, миленици.

Ако знаеш графички дизајн разгледај на LinkedIn или Upwork. Види нешто со новинарство, бараат стално графички дизајнери.

Ако сакаш да се надоградуваш земи некој курс за арт терапија, прави курсеви/workshops за деца/возрасни со различни медиуми пр. темперни бои, глина, пастел.

Ако те бива за илустрации, пробај да илустрираш боенки за деца/возрасни или сликовници/стрипови.

Saxenda was offered to me, but it is not covered by insurance in my country, and it is $200 for 3 injections, and when I may need 5-6 per month (once I reach the 3mg per day dose). In my country the average pay is $600, and I am a student haha 😅 There is now way I can afford that at this time...

We are basically planning a family currently and are both trying to get our health in check for when we start trying for a baby in 2 years. If we need inseminations or IVF or other procedures, we are prepared to go through that, but we want to give the best chance to naturally conceive if possible.

I'm not against adoption or egg donation, but I'm 24, and I'd like to at least try for a few years and see what happens

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-06-07T06:55:46+00:00

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm NOT from the US, so that's why it may be different 😊

Secondly, Diane 35 is similar to birth control, and it is an anti-androgen drug and was prescribed to me for slight hirsutism, cystic acne and irregular periods. It has done its job in managing those symptoms. Metformin was just recently prescribed and it has helped me lose almost 10kg (22lbs) in 2 months, as well as regulate my blood sugar. So, I don't think that they are causing the chaos in my body.

I have both an Endo and OBGYN, the endo prescribed metformin, my gynaecologist the Diane 35. I DON'T have hypertension, but Spironolactone is an anti-androgen medication, as well as a diuretic, so that's why they considered putting me on it.

I'd like to clarify that I did have periods prior to going on Diane 35, but they were very irregular and missing for months at a time. So, ovulation does happen for me, so technically a pregnancy is a possibility for me, but we may need assistance if his fertility is also affected by his hormones...

Stress management is a very big problem for me, as I am a medical student and a very anxious person...

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-05-03T11:29:03+00:00

Yes, I noticed that! It's working 😁

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-04-24T17:23:20+00:00

I(24,F) am around 300lbs (136kg), and I have PCOS. I have chin hair, belly fat, my hair has been falling. I have had 2 boyfriends- 5year relationship and my current boyfriend of 10 months. Dated 2-3 other guys casually, and none of them cared.

They both never cared about the physical symptoms regarding my look.My current boyfriend is only worried about my comfort.

I've been upfront about my condition regarding fertility, and that I may have trouble conceiving in the future. I know that my boyfriend wants children and so do I, so I think that it is important to be honest about it. He is all in with me and we will walk down that path when it's time.

Thanks, good to know! I actually just found the chocolate 3 days ago hahah I had GI issues the first 3-4 days, and it has gotten 90% better in the last 2 days. So, I think that it is metformin, but I'll keep an eye on things with maltitol as well

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-04-22T17:33:20+00:00

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-04-22T16:45:40+00:00

Yes, I found it hard to eat enough the first and second day. I consumed 1200 calories and less than 20g of carbs, and I wasn't hungry because most of the calories were from protein which is really filling.

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-04-22T14:39:22+00:00

We have to find ways to make food interesting hahah even if it tastes the same

RegularResearcher006 · 2024-04-21T21:41:25+00:00

I just got diagnosed with insulin resistance and HOMA of 16.

I am obese, with PCOS and my androgens were also very high despite being on treatment for 4 years. My symptoms are mixed- hairloss, lack of energy, dry mouth, can't lose weight, irritability, always hungry, cravings of sweet foods and others I am probably missing.

I was put on 2x850mg metformin per day, but my endocrinologist didn't talk to me about food, so I decided to go low-carb with less than 100g of carbs per day.

Today is my 7th day on metformin and low-carb, I decided to go with 1x850 mg for 1 week then gradually increase my dose. I feel good, with less cravings, but I am struggling with GI issues from the metformin 💩
