[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 7817, member: 3"] Paul Wow..I want that IV cure! :) By the way, you definitely have insulin resistance. You have high fasting insulin and high [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment"]HOMA score[/URL]. This problem is more common in HIV+ people than HIV-. Insulin resistance can cause (and/or be the cause) of obesity. Ways to decrease insulin resistance is exercising 30 min a day or 1 hour 3-4 times a week, increasing fiber intake, decreasing simple carbs, switching HIV medication regimens away from protease inhibitors (many docs are switching people to integrase inhibitor-based regimens), losing weight, and taking medications like Metformin (glucophage). I talk about ways to improve insulin resistance in this article: [url]http://www.positivelyaware.com/2012/12_01/hiv_wellness_series.shtml[/url] I assume you have undetectable HIV and a good CD4 cell level. Correct me if I am wrong. Metformin has shown promise in decreasing fat and lipids in people with HIV, so discuss with your doctor.
