    the best long term solution for insulin resistance is a low GI diet so that you lessen the need for the body to over produce insulin....... you could google low Gi diet and look at some websites otherwise the bible book on the subject is "The new glucose revolution" by professor jennie brand miller.

    my niece is the same as you and actually has a subscription to the Diabetic Living magazine just for the stacks of great recipes they have in each issue...... Hope that helps as a starting point.
    Oh and to answer your question, yes it will probably always be something you are prone to but diet can make a huge difference to how it affects you...

    I agree with diet. Also more exercise. I also have insulin issues (PCOS) and have gone on to lose 40kgs. So if i can do it, anyone can. Mine is much more "controlled" now.

    Wow thats impressive!! i need to lose close to 30kgs to be considered a 'normal' weight for my height.

    i'd love to know how you did it. what you ate and how much exercise you did.

    I've had a look at Low GI food options and it doesnt look too hard to do at all.
