Living With Diabetes
Insulin And Weight Gain
Insulin resistance is also called syndrome X.
Because insulin is one of the major hormones, it is inconceivable for
your body to balance its minor hormones such as estrogen, progesterone
and testosterone among them until your insulin metabolism is balanced
first. As a result, both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes (diabetes
mellitus) may occur if the body may not be able to produce or use the
produced insulin. As a result, you have to supply insulin to the body
for diabetes cure and improve the symptoms of diabetes. Insulin provided
from exterior reverses these processes as blood glucose levels return to
normal, which can contribute to weight gain. For further details, read Let's
Treat Diabetes
Almost 85 million Americans
are suffering from insulin resistance. But, the worst affected are women
who develop insulin opposition. These women are at a much greater risk
of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, breast cancer etc.
Fatigue and weight gain are closely related with insulin resistance. As
women anticipate menopause, they become increasingly infatuated to
carbohydrates and find it easier to resist insulin and weight gain,
especially around their waists.
To keep weight gain under
control, you have to reduce your calorie intake and increase your
physical activity. You can also use diabetes medicine which are is
associated with weight gain such as glimipiride,
glibenclamide,repaglimide and acarbose. Diabetes care with insulin or
oral medications may lead to weight loss. But, a consultation with a
physician and keep regular exercise help you manage insulin and weight
gain and also helps you in diabetes treatment and diabetes management.
