I think insulin resistance is more of a type two diabetes situation, and usually is accompanied by obesity. I don’t know how old you were when diagnosed, but type one diabetes can be diagnosed as late as 40 years of age, and is more of a non or low functioning pancreas, rather than insulin resistance.
Thank you for the input. I was actually diagnosed in my mid 40’s but that doesn’t mean I was clean of the illness before that. That’s just when it was diagnosed.
Surprisingly, as with type 2, people with type 1 may be genetically predisposed to become insulin resistant, or they may develop resistance due to being overweight. Some research indicates that insulin resistance is a factor in cardiovascular disease and other complications in people with type 1.
So there we go with the genes situation that is coming more into focus as the illness is studied. If you have type 2 diabetes, your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, foot problems, eye and kidney disease is increased.
To reduce your risk of developing other serious health conditions, you may be advised to take other medicines, including: anti-hypertensive medicines to control high blood pressure and heart medication along with lasix, one of the most used is furosemide, for water retention as your heart fails from hardening of the arteries and you body doesn’t move fluids like it used to. So a lot of the excess weight in the midriff on many is water and not fat tissue. Yes, as your alternate illnesses come into focus and if you continue to eat normal meals without exercise, you will gain fat tissue also as the Circulation problem is doubled down.
In the more latter stages of heart failure as your heart and arteries harden, your heart will slow down no matter what you do to exercise. My resting heart rate now is 31 bpm. So it isn’t safe for me to have surgery or try to increase my heart rate through exercise. Attack or stroke now. But there are many out there like me so I don’t have a sole grasp on the problem. Day at a time.
