The basics … ? Count your carbs, and take the appropriate amount of insulin for what you’re eating. Eat more fruits and veggies and whole grains. And limit the amount of fat in each meal, it will make your sugar level high after your insulin has worn off.
Exercise will improve your blood sugars overall, so you should definitely do it. But montior your levels while you’re exercising and keep snacks nearby, it’s really easy to get low.
My father was recently diagnosed with Kidney disease/failure and I am wondering if insulin resistance may have played a role in it. I have been diagnosed with pcos, which seems to be caused by insulin resistance.
Does anyone know?
Yes but it is because he just didnt take care of himself and watch his sugars.
I used to have PECOs and then I did the diet I have on my YA profile , the first link under "about me" and then go to meal plan… it last 11 weeks, but you will never be sick with it again.

Diabetes and neuropathy: a simple explanation by Jan M. Keppel Hesselink, MD, PhD, president Foundation IOCOB and founder of the clinic for treatment of neuropathy in Soest, the Netherlands and professor of pharmacology.
Diabetic neuropathy is long-term damage to the nerve fibres. The nerve damage affects each foot equally and eventually spreads up the legs and hands.
Some people with diabetes will not develop nerve damage, while others may develop this condition early. Symptoms generally begin 10 to 20 years after the diabetes diagnosis. Approximately half of all people with diabetes will eventually develop neuropathy.
A good control of blood glucose has a tremendous impact on preventing this disease. In 1993 the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial showed the importance of bllod sugar control, keeping blood sugar levels close to the normal range and thus reducing the risk of developing neuropathy by 60 percent.

This means frequent testing of blood sugar, and the so called HbA1C levels in the blood, basing insulin intake on the basis of diet and exercise, following a simpel and straighforward diet and exercise plan, and staying in close contact with your treating physician.
