Natural remedies for Insulin Resistance
As the title suggests i am wondering what are some natural ways to lower Insulin?
Last June i learnt the reason why in year 11 i packed on 20kgs within a year and have always been unable to lose it.
I have always been somewhat active. We don't drive so walking is the main mode of transport for us. So when i decided to join a gym when i was 19, i even had a PT which i saw her twice a week as well as attending the gym every other day. After 6 weeks i hadn't lost anything even though i had been training quite hard.
It wasn't until i had a blood test that i found out my insulin was 3 times what it should be. I was put on Diabex XR (metformin) and within 3 months i had lost 9kgs but the side effects were awful, the worst was the horrid stomach cramps.
In the last couple of weeks i have gained 7kgs despite going to the gym a few times a week and walking 4kms nearly everyday (walking to the shops and back)
Also am i always going to have issues with my Insulin?
