Re: adrenals and blood sugar issues

[Guest guest]

Yes cortiosl has everything to do wiht blood sugar! But you certainly

cannot listen to doctors about this as thye all belive taking it will

raise glucose.. I am Diabetic and I can tell you having cortils RIGHT is

what is needed to help glucose levels. Thyroid also helps reduce insulin

resistance and estrogen stimulates insulin release from the pancreas. My

glucose actually comes down when I take HC! Yes you can monitor your

glucose at home! Meters can often be found for FREE isf oyu ask at your

local pharmacy, and if not then oyu can find them cheap on Ebay. The

strips are expensive, but you can also find a bit better opricing on

Ebay fo rthem too.

Yes, mine resolved after I was able to raise both thyroid and

cortisol. Until you can get your levels of both up, following a

diabetic diet might be helpful. I recommend The Diabetes Diet by

Bernstein.

Can you tell by labs if you are insulin resistant? Last time I had a

fasting blood sugar,

my glucose was 89 (65-99),

my insulin was 18 (<10).

Do you know what this means? Am I insulin resistent? I know I tend

to be hypoglycemic, although have never been dxed with it.

Thanks,

Lynn

These are not thwe best tests for insuklin resistance, but if I had to guess I

would say yes you are insulin resistant a bit. Highish insulin wiht normal

glucose means the insulin is not working as it should be. I believe a Glucose

Tolerance Test is best ot show insulin resistance.,

Lynn,

You need to get a glucose monitor and check your blood sugar after eating also.

I would

check it 1 hour after eating to see if it rises significantly. That is not a

good insulin level at

all. Did your doctor make any comments about it?

If you find that your blood sugar is rising after eating, you should adjust your

diet pronto.

What kind of a diet do you consume now?

How do you know that you're hypoglycemic? You may actually be having problems

from

your blood sugar being too high, not too low. The symptoms can be very similar.
