kbf1's Journal, 20 July 2007

Hi. I'm new at this game and was wondering what all books you have read. I'm a diet controlled diabetic and Atkins and South Beach cause my blood levels dip to dangerous levels. What have you experienced as far as unstable insulin counts. I know about the resistance, but what about the hormone stuff? Had hysterecomy 15 months ago and now it seems impossible to budge a pound off. Let's work together on this, if it is okay with you. I have a gym membership and have yet to go. I have to lose 115 lbs in 10 months. I need a buddy. Berlin 

Hi, I have polycyctic ovaries so this shifts certain hormones out of balance - I believe paricularly progesterone, which leads to abdominal weightgain and insulin resistance. So, my blood sugar is fine, and I don't have diabetes, but my body isn't responding to insulin - There is an explanation of PCOS on www.CeMCOR.com and a lot about horemones and weight - So, I've been prescribed metformin - which is a diabetic medication to help me become sensitive to insulin and metabolise carbohydrates carefully. Yes, you should look at books on hysterectomy and hormones - I'm sure you can loose but we need to focus more on excersize than others - which is good for us anyways...
