I know I'm insulin resistant - I've always felt great on a low-carb diet and its the only way I canlose wt. However - now - due to menopause, lots of stress over the past few years, etc. The low-carb thing doesn't work anymore for me-I;'ve gained lots of wt. (need to lose about 50  pounds)and my fasting glucose has been moving up - now its in the 90's- 104: to close to diabetes for comfort. I can't find a doctor who believes the adrenals and glucose metabolism have anything to do with each other. The worst part is that I have a master's degree in Biology - so I can read all the information and understand it, but I go to doctors who just tell me that my glucose level is still normal and I should just go home and lose wt. - well guess what - it won't come off - and I eat well - low carbs and fats, vegetables, water, the whole nine yards.I live in new jersey -anybody know a doctor who would listen to me??
