insuline resistence adrenal fatigue

[chandbaby1]

Hi,
I have had PCOS for a long time now.it started when I was 22 and now I am 27. I did order insulite system but havent gotten it yet. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome which started suddenly about 2 years back after i stopped birth control pills.I dont take birth control pills any more. I take pregnenlone ( chronic fatigue)for less than 5mg but have problem increasing the dose since it increases my blood sugar.(weight gain)..I dont have diabetes. I am assuming I can take it with isnulite system.

So I have been stuck with adrenal fatigue and insuline resistence. It is difficult to manage both since fixing one seems to worsen the other. Please give me more pointers as to what i can do for my fatigue.

By the way I am 175lbs now and less than 150 is my ideal weight. Being on Atkins I could reduce 5 lbs but nothing after that. I really hope the nutraceuticals do the trick.

Hello chandbaby1,
I'm happy to hear that you ordered the Insulite PCOS System. You can take your pregnenolone with the PCOS system, just remember to take it at least 4 hours away from the GlucX.

Our system could actually help alleviate some of your fatigue. One of the first improvements customers notice is improved energy and better sleep. I think this in part due to it's ability to balance blood sugar. If the cells get the energy they need by becoming less insulin resistant, then we should feel less tired. Imbalances in blood sugars is hard on the adrenal glands and can make your adrenals even more fatigued. Besides the blood sugar balancing the products help acheive, there is some adrenal support in them. They contain B vitamins and adrenal glandular which help nourish the adrenals.

Another important factor with supporting the adrenals is managing stress. I' sure you've heard of the fight or flight mode during stressful moments. Keeping it in has negative impacts on our bodies, but finding a way to let that tension out is much healthier. Exercise is the best thing for you do. This is what our body expects to happen in response to a perceived stressor, some physical outlet (fight or flight). Think of the cavemen. They see a tiger and run from it or chose to fight. You could look into a couple books “Why zebras don’t get ulcers”, “The Relaxation and stress reduction Workbook”, and “Adrenal Fatigue: the 21st century…”. These may help. Deep breathing throughout the day during times of stress would help too. Sometimes getting CD’s of guided relaxation techniques such as guided imagery are more helpful. Taking a yoga class is also great. I try to do at least a few minutes daily of sun salutations, a series of movements in yoga, which seems to help me start my day better grounded.

I look forward to hearing about how you do on the system.

Thankyou so much for the quick response. I am really hoping insulite will help me. Regarding excercise , my main symptom with adrenal fatigue is post excercise malaise. I have to rest for a 2-3 days feeling absolutely aweful if I excercise. I have tried to do it slowly graded excercise as they say but still get tired after some days.

Pregnenolone is the only thing that ever helped me with fatigue. the glandulars and vitamins dint do much for me but I can understand that over time it will help. May be insuline resistence is my primary stressor and I will feel better if I can aleviate that. I will have more questions as I start insulite program and i will keep you posted.

Sometimes I do feel better after i eat food and it is consistent with adrenal fatigue symptoms so i probably have hypoglycemia then but I have never recorded a blood sugar less than 80. is it that the cells are so used to higher blood glucose that even normal seems hypo to me? I have a blood glucose meter . Please let know when I need to start testing. Is insulite system Okay when you have these kind of pseudo hypoglycemia?

i dont take any drug for reducing blood sugar currently. Mostly when i check in the morning I am between 80-90 blood glucose with strict Atkins if I eat a little more carbs than usual I have a higher blood glucose but less than 110. I try to do a Glucose tolerance Test sometimes and it gives me crazy values, which is sure confirmation of insuline resistence. I dont still fall in diabetes but definitely maybe pre diabetic category but i can tell you I am very insuline resistent, I have all the symptoms.

Hello chandbaby1,

Have you tried more gentle forms of exercise like walks and yoga? Yoga is both strengthening and helps your adrenal glands. I know it's hard not to push yourself with more intense workouts but right now it sounds like more strenuous exercise does more harm than good for you.

It does sound like you have insulin resistance. It sounds like you have been able to successfully lower your blood sugar with diet, but that it's not staying balanced through the day. Perhaps the products will help by reversing the insulin resistance.

With regard to hypoglycemia and PCOS, this is definitely possible. Hypoglycemia is a sign of blood sugar imbalance, which is common in women with PCOS (although many women have problems on the opposite end of having increased blood sugar levels). The body can respond negatively to carbs by releasing excess amounts of insulin, which drops blood sugar levels and leads to hypoglycemia.

It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels 3-4 times per day especially initially. The nutrients in this formula are effective at stabilizing blood sugar and the diet changes that we recommend require that people with hypoglycemia are vigilant about their blood sugar levels. It is generally a good recommendation for anyone with hypoglycemia to use HALF the dose of the InsulX and RejuvenX for 2 weeks when first using the System as these formulas have the greatest impact on blood sugar levels.

After two weeks, if your blood sugar is stable, you can go to the full doses of InsulX and RejuvenX safely. Additionally, if you suffer from hypoglycemia, eat 5-6 small meals per day that are protein-based and watch consumption of carbohydrates. Making sure to eat protein with every meal can really help to prevent those symptoms.

It doesn't surprise me that pregnenolone has been helpful. It's a precursor to progesterone, which is often low in women with PCOS. I'm not sure why you can't take higher doses of pregnenolone but I speculate it has to do with the hormonal imbalances that go with having PCOS.

In regard to progesterone, it would depend where your levels of progesterone are at. Many women with PCOS do have lower levels of progesterone and supplementation would be helpful. However, you would need to speak with your physician regarding this and I would recommend making sure it is a natural, bio-identical form of progesterone. Women respond much better to this than the synthetic forms of progesterone. I hope this helps!

I respond very well to pregnenolone...possibly since it is a precursor to cortisol as well. I have tried progesterone they dont help me with fatigue like pregnenolone does. I did use progesterone cream (bio identical one) . My problem is fatigue , when i increase pregnenolone I gain weight. I gained 15 pounds on pregnenolone but it is the only thing that helps me with fatigue. I take very low dosage now 2.5 -5mg, if i take more i gain weight.

I will monitor my blood glucose as i start insulite.

I wanted to ask you about one more thing. Copper toxicity is something associated with adrenal fatigue, I normally avoid copper and do take extra zinc.

can you customise insulite to have no copper?

[drnicole]

Hello chandbaby1,

I understand your concern about the copper. Unfortunately, I don't believe they could make a special copper-free formula. It's a possibility in the future though. I will let them know about your concern. In the mean time the added zinc should help if you do have copper toxicity. Also the products contain milk thistle which helps with detoxification.

hi,

I just wanted to know in your experience how much fasting blood sugar reading can be reduced with insulite. I know everyone is different. I am just looking for some rough numbers. I ask this because my fasting blood glucose has been in the 100s lately and wonder if insulite can bring it to the normal range.


I havent yet recieved my shipment there is some mix up with the address. I want to try it as soon as possible.....still waiting.

Hello chandbaby1,

I hope receive your order soon. As far as numbers go for blood sugars, I wish I could be more specific. We have not conducted any trials at this time. What we have seen is customers with pre-diabetes, have their fasting blood sugars come back into normal range. Others have seen that their blood sugar readings have come more into balance with less highs and lows. I asked some of the other medical advisors to report what they have seen. If I get a more specific response, I will definitely let you know.

Yes I know it takes alot of money to do a study . But I believe in the ingredients you have stated since those were the ones that has been studied a lot recently.

But either ways I just wanted to know if there are people who could reduce their blood glucose significantly.
