seeking HELP and insight with insulin resistance - depressed
Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and Im reaching out for help and insight. My problems began two years ago when I thought I had hormonal imbalance -salvia test confirmed this. I was always the type of girl that could go hours witjout eating and could drop weight easily and gain it back just as quickly. Last year a whole new set of symptoms started. My friend was type 1 diabetic and i started experiencing hypoglycemic episodes, weight piling on, fatigue, constant hunger, dizzy etc etc. After 6 months of convincing my doc something was wrong he ran blood work - showing subclinical hypothyroidism (on synghroid for this) through the roof fasting insulin levels but normal fasting blood glucose and A1C and high cortisol. I continued to gain weight (heaviest I have ever been). For the past 7 months I have followed a diligent clean diet..cut out anything white, grains and only eat veggies and protein. I started exercising but the weight is NOT budging. everyday i battle hypoglycemia feelings despite eating every 2-3 hours. this is draining the life out of me..i rarely leave my house because of fear of hypoglycemia feelings..i carry juice everywhere i go. how do i change this? is it my diet? im so frustrated and dont know what else to do, its impacted every area of my life. please help me with insight, why cant i lose weight keeping me in this cycle and why do i feel hypoglycemic all the time? thk you
