I am in great need of some one's help.
My horse Shadow (14.3 SECTION D Cob) has been ill for the last 5 months and in that time period my vet has failed to diagnose what is wrong with him. At first they thought it was ragwort poisoning, as he looked jaundice and was showing minor symptoms (this had apparently led onto 85% liver damage) but then further tests said his liver was back to 20-25% damage?. They failed to take into account the possibility of shock laminitus and in doing so he develo

Hey there.
I'm an overweight 16 year old (5 feet 7inches tall, and 81Kg) with metabolic syndrome. I decided to take up cross-country last because I want to lose weight and become healthier, and I was told I have metabolic syndrome, and that I need to do something about my weight.
Anyway, normally before I go to cross country I would eat something small because of my low blood-sugar levels, but I read in a health magazine it is not good to do so. I heard you are suppose to jog on an empty stom

Resolved Question: Fructose or fruit sugars can cause metabolic syndrome, hypertension and even diabetes leading to weight gain?
(Tue, 24 Aug 2010 23:54:01 GMT)
Fact. "The only metabolic pathway open to fructose is that which ends up in fatty acid production. And remember, excessive fatty acid and triglyceride levels are convincingly tied to development of the metabolic syndrome, hypertension, glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes." And,
"The rapid and poorly controlled metabolism of fructose in the liver leads to increased hepatic lipogenesis, dyslipidemia and increased storage of fat in the liver. Increased lipid levels are associated with insulin

If I have anything with concentrated amounts of sugar, I get slight pricking in my hands and feet, and often get tired.

The worst effect of all is from alcohol, even ONE unit (a glass of wine, for instance) I feel very unpleasant, and need to urinate almost immediately. Two units and its even worse,

(Mon, 06 Oct 2008 11:35:27 GMT)
Definition
Insulin resistance is not a disease as such but rather a state or condition in which a person's body tissues have a lowered level of response to insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps to regulate the level of glucose (sugar) in the body. As a result, the person's body produces larger quantities of insulin to maintain normal levels of glucose in the blood. There is considerable individual variation in sensitivity to insulin within the general population, with the most
