I told her I would have no problem with that diagnosis if I had the SYMPTOMS of it!!!!

DO NOT let that doctor bring you down. You have a stinking BIOPSY to back you up! Did he not even take that into account!??????

OMG. Reminds me of my daughter. She was diagnosed with insulin resistance at 13. We had all been 'chubby' so we went on Weight Watchers. At one point, when we starting counting points for her, I noticed that the LESS she ate, and the MOER active she became, the more weight she GAINED! ThInsulin resistance is when your body THINKS it makes no insulin so it over produces it. A normal level would be 2 - 10. HER levels were 45. As a result, the body thinks it's starving and so produces more glucose which turns to fat, then the body makes more insulin, which causes more glucose, and more fat.... and on and on and on. THEN when she dieted and worked out more, her body REALLY freaked out. Well, we went to the pediatric endocrinologist who told her (at THIRTEEN YEARS OLD mind you) that the REASON she was insulin resistant was because she was FAT and that SHE needed to be more active. OMG I was ******. Her endo is now a leading IR specialist and SHE is wonderful. That other doc...... man...... I never went back.
