Re: AvandiaFrom: Dona (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 5 Jul 2001 00:39:44 -0500 (CDT)
HI, When I first started taking Actos last year I was borderline IR. Which means that if a doctor didn't know what to look for in the test results they would have probably said I am not "technically IR". Thank God my Doctor at least knew that there is a "High Side"of normal range (or just slightly elevated) and desided to give me Actos.My testosterone and DHEAS was also very high.After 2 months of taking actos my IR levels were normal and testosterone was also normal and I became pregnant. And yes there are quite a few people who loose weight on insulin sensitizers, but some also gain. We all are different.
