Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / July 2006Article on insulin resistance
http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid32849.asp " The investigators identified weight loss to reduce fat tissue as a key step to improving response to treatment. Treatment with diabetes drugs like metformin and pioglitazone to raise insulin sensitivity and reduce fat accumulation in the liver might help reverse disease progression, according to the report" Ive known for about 10 years I was tending towards insulin resistance due to an inability to lose weight. From what Ive read this can sometime be connected to HCV and reversed. Has anybody tried to treat insulin resistance during treatment?

I had to increase my pills and was taking four times the amount that I was before tx started. I have lost a bit of weight too. I am now on insulin as I had reached the max dose of oral meds. My blood levels would swing high and low from one day to the next even though I would eat the same foods. I do have much better control with the insulin. |
