Are insulin resistance and pre-diabetes the same?
Danielle asked:
If not, what’s the difference?
My doctor diagnosed me with insulin resistance about two months ago, but she didn’t cover much. I became really depressed about it. I am under the age of fifteen. I’ve been doing great; lost about 5-8 pounds, and improved my diet. I’m on Metformin (500mg). At first it worked fine, but now it’s kinda…well, not working as well. She tried giving me a higher dose, but after a while, I almost fainted. Lately I’ve been using the bathroom a lot, eating more than normal, and drinking waaay too much. I don’t know why I’ve been so thirsty. I’ve had about 15 cans of diet pop over the last few days. What’s up with this? My mom argues with me that since I’ve lost a few pounds that it probably went away, but I highly doubt this because I’ve been feeling worse than how I was when we first went to the doctor to see what was going on in the first place. I’ve been having trouble concentrating, staying awake during the day even when I sleep for over 10 hours, and having trouble getting to sleep. I had one of those fasting blood tests done a while back. I don’t have one of those meter things where you ***** your finger. I’m not sure what’s going on; I don’t understand anything right now. My aunt said at the dinner table the other day, “So, do you have to give yourself shots yet?” Do both types need to give themselves insulin? My doc said that I produce too much insulin and that my fat is being stored so that I cannot lose weight. o_O
What do insulin pumps do? I’m so sorry to be laying all of these questions on you, but I’m terribly confused.
