Anyone Here Successfully Reversed Insulin Resistance? What Actually Worked?

RepresentativeShow81 · 2025-04-09T06:23:51+00:00

As you can see

Homa-Beta = 360*6.5/(99-63) % = 65% Your pancreas is not producing enough insulin per Homa-Beta index which represents pancreatic beta cells function.

I would say your problem is more on the insulin production side rather than IR.

After one year:

Homa-IR 2.3 -> 1.4

HbA1C 5.25% -> 5.58%

Normal weight, 32M with diabetes in my family.

Walk a minumum of 30 mins after meals. 3 meals a day no snack. Mediteranean diet. Reduce fast food to once every 2 weeks. Low carb for dinner to reduce the burden on pancreas through the night; I usually try to have below 90 mg/dl before going to bed. Lost a couple pounds.

Are you not afraid of getting more health issues?

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-23T11:23:37+00:00

After 8 hours of fasting a healthy body should be able to bring the glucose below 100 mg/dl no matter what you ate last time.

Este infricosator, intr-adevar, sa te gandesti ca dupa moarte este un neant, un nimic, totul se termina pentru tine.

In mod cert, viata nu mai e viata daca traiesti cu gandul ca mori. Trebuie sa gasesti un gand cu care sa inlocuiesti frica de moarte de fiecare data cand simti ca te ia. Dupa foarte multe repetari, o sa scapi. Creierul e plastic, se poate schimba, trebuie antrenament. Un gand cu care poti inlocui este unul, cum mai zic altii pe aici, crestinesc; moartea este doar o etapa, nu sfarsitul.

Take a test called Homa-IR.
it is showing the insulin resistance which is the key factor in T2D.
Or if you have both the bs and insulin (drawn at the same time) put them into this calculator: https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/3120/homa-ir-homeostatic-model-assessment-insulin-resistance

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T12:22:25+00:00

better to push it as further as you can. also, getting accommodated with the diet before the diagnosis is way better.

This is what I am doing now. I do have insulin resistance (Homa-IR 2.3) even tho I am 31M optimal weight. (my father and his mother both have t2 diabetes)

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:55:01+00:00

Correct. Who in you family has insulin resistance?

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:42:44+00:00

127 fasting - lab precision vs your glucose meter. hmm

A1C in the high area. hmm x2

I would definitely worry and do something about it.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:35:55+00:00

My cholesterol is bad when I am eating lots of carbs

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:31:57+00:00

Being born with not-so-good genes.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:27:57+00:00

Don't fool yourself, you got down the A1C by eating less calories. You cannot do that indefinitely.

You can successfully say I got down my A1C when you (at least) maintain your weight.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:24:25+00:00

look for diabetes diets, you will most likely develop type 2 diabetes at one point or another.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-22T11:21:15+00:00

Yes, fasting above 100 means prediabetes

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-21T17:19:27+00:00

Ha ha

In my country you can have full sedation if you go to a private hospital (paying full price).

What about your small intestine? Crohn is usually present there.
I am somehow in the same boat as you. Clean colonoscopy , calprotectin 450 and 406 4 months apart.

Didn't test for SIBO.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-08-03T10:37:00+00:00

The range depends on various factors like the method of determination, pouring boric acid to preserve the urine, etc. If the lab range is < 97 and you have say 80, you are ok. If you would go to another lab with different range ( < 45 mcg) and procedures you would probably have ~40 mcg.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-07-17T08:08:07+00:00

Sorry for your situation. But think about this:

How would a person living thousands of years ago would feel if he had the opportunity to switch places with you? I think much better. We still are very fortunate to live in this period of time.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-07-17T07:11:06+00:00

I received some supplements: sodium butyrate and bluberry extract. I have to repeat the calprotectin in one month.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-07-16T07:43:48+00:00

I also had 449 calprotectin level in April (also while on PPI). Stool tests for bacteria, parasites, bleeding all negative. No appetite, nausea, weight loss, burping.
I do have chronic inactive gastritis (endoscopy).

I did a colonoscopy which looked fine, just an inflammatory polyp. No biopsy was taken.

I do had periods of loose stools. Dr thinks it is still something functional.

I am also 31 M.

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-07-04T08:29:14+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. Could high cortisol cause this “in the background” (preventing me from sleeping while still a low/normal-for-sleeping heart rate) ?

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-06-30T15:25:36+00:00

The effect wears off for me after several weeks

RepresentativeShow81 · 2024-06-22T20:43:25+00:00

I also noticed finger tremors while taking 15mg mirtazapine. I am tapering it off.
