High insuline in blood, is Glucophage the convenient medicine?
Jan 7, 2013
2nd opinion

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
The cells in your body can't absorb glucose without insulin. When glucose enters the bloodstream, the pancreas releases insulin. If cells become insulin-resistant, they no longer respond to insulin high insulin will stay in blood(hyperinsulinimia), and more glucose stays in the bloodstream (hyperglycemia). Once this happens, a person is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. (GLUCOPHAGE)Metformin is a medication that can improve the cells' sensitivity to insulin in some patients (typically where obesity is present)and weight loss may occur
in general
treatment of hyperinsulinimia is typically achieved by
1-diet and exercise :
A low carbohydrate diet is particularly effective in reducing hyperinsulinism.
A healthy diet that is low in simple sugars and processed carbohydrates, and high in fiber, and vegetable protein is often recommended. This includes replacing white bread with whole-grain bread, reducing intake of foods composed primarily of starch such as potatoes, and increasing intake of legumes and green vegetables, particularly soy.
2-glucophage (metformin) to reduce insulin levels
3-A referral to a dietician is beneficial.
4-organic Cinnamon may help also as demonstrated in clinical trials
5-Regular monitoring of weight, blood sugar, and insulin are advised, as hyperinsulinemia may develop into diabetes mellitus type 2.
6-physical exercise improves insulin sensitivity
