I'm a new member and not sure if this is where I should go for information. About four yrs. ago I was diagnosed as being insulin resistant and was put on glucophage. Due to circumstances beyond my control I haven't been taking my meds for about two yrs. The other day I went to the dr. for an unrelated problem and he looked at my chart and automatically told me I was diabetic. No one has really ever explained the difference between insulin resistant and diabectic. Can anyone explain it to me? I had lab work done but I had not fasted for a full 12 hrs. Will this affect my results? |
