Hi Wasabi,

Can I ask a question. So the results of my blood test have come back. And I have scheduled a conference call on Friday with the doc to review. But she said that my sugar was fine but my insulin was high. Do you have any insight on that? I'll find out more on Friday.

Thanks

Default Insulin Resistance

Shelley,

Here is a good article about insulin resistance. See how it lines up with your situation. If you want to know more, just do a search on "insulin resistance":

Default Diabetes, Dry Eye, and What to Do

"In addition to soothing the symptoms of dry eye, omega-3s carry other benefits for diabetics. High dietary intake of omega-3s correlates with a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes, omega-3 have been shown to reduce elevated triglycerides in non-insulin dependent diabetics, and even more importantly, omega-3s reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease and total mortality in diabetic women."
