Best Supps for Insulin resistance /glucose intolerance

[CLOMIDCLOWN]

How do you know you are insulin resistant? If you truely are than forget supps and try a drug like glucophage.

 

[Ulter]

Glucorell R outperforms glucophage. And without the sides.


BTW No one knows what causes insulin resistance. There are factors that contribute to it but what actually makes one person become insulin resistant and someone else not become insulin resistant in the same environment is not understood. So diet and exercise may help, but it may not.

Your claim is rediculous... PROVE IT!

Yuck.....Have you ever tried glucophage? Talk about stomach discomfort waiting to happen. I have used both and I couldn't be happier with R-ala. You want proof? Stomach discomfort is proof enough for me.

That is a seperate issue, ala does not outperform glucophage HOWEVER it does have a place in insulin resistance and out of control diabetics IN CONJUNCTION with glucophage. Glucophage remains the preferred drug for treating insulin resistance AND is among the safest drugs in existence. However, safe doesnt mean symptom free.... I can relate to your stomach problems.

But UTLER says its BETTER to take ala over glucophage and that is crazy, i want proof.

The best "supplement" would be exogenous insulin, avandia, or actos. They correct insulin resistance at the source.

r-ALA is good but it has a very short half life.

Absolutely, a combination of drugs would be best especially is c peptide is above 6.5 this is when we use 3 drugs like those you mentioned which increase insulin sensitivity so less insulin is needed.

Insulin stimulates glucose uptake into tissues, and its ability to do so varies greatly among individual persons. In insulin resistance, tissues have a diminished ability to respond to the action of insulin. To compensate for resistance, the pancreas secretes more insulin.The liver also becomes insulin resistant and responds by overproducing glucose. Insulin-resistant persons, therefore, have high plasma insulin levels and can develop hyperglycemia as the pancreas is unable to keep up.
Insulin resistance can be defined as a cluster of abnormalities, including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes, that are associated with insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia and subsequent hyperglycemia.
The current treatments for insulin resistance involve caloric and carb restiction, exercise, and treatment of the abnormalities associated with it. If those fail, then the treatment progresses to medications to increase insulin sensitivity.
Exogenous insulin cannot increase the insulin sensitivity of cells.

I agree Metformin is the king as long as you can handle that nausea. I suggest building up slow. 1 tab per day for a week, 2 tab per day for a week, 3 tab per day for a week. Slow increases seem to offset any problems with upset stomachs.
