Insulin Resistance - Online Consumer Forums Digital-Boards.com The Consumer Network

I have just been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I am a little peeved to say the least since I have been vegan for more than half of my life, and am only a little heavy-maybe 25lbs above my ideal weight. Certain not a hugely high risk person.

I am told that I could just be genetically predisposed to it, but still I am hoping to hold type 2 at bay with exercise and diet as much as I can. I don't want a life on pills.

Sorry to hear that you got diagnosed with this. It is certainly possible to hold medication off for a long time, and potentially just manage your condition for the rest of your life, with diet along. So I am told anyway.
