How to lose weight with hyperinsulinemia
Patients with hyperinsulinemia can lose weight through diet therapy, exercise therapy, drug therapy, metabolic surgery and other methods. Dietary therapy includes reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing protein and dietary fiber intake to help control blood sugar and insulin levels. Exercise therapy can help lose weight by increasing the body's metabolic rate and improving insulin sensitivity. Medical treatment may include oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections to control blood sugar levels. Metabolic surgery, such as gastric bypass surgery or sleeve gastrectomy, can reduce gastric volume and alter the path of food absorption, thereby achieving weight loss.
1. Diet therapy achieves weight loss goals by reducing calorie intake and optimizing food choices. It is suitable for people who are overweight and have insulin resistance.
2. Exercise therapy increases physical activity and helps increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, which in turn improves blood sugar control. Suitable for people who need to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health.
3. Medication Medical treatment for hyperinsulinemia aims to reduce the level of insulin secreted by pancreatic beta cells. These drugs can be used to supplement diet and exercise therapy to achieve better fat loss.
4. Metabolic surgery Metabolic surgery can directly reduce the absorbed area of the gastrointestinal tract and promote changes in gastrointestinal hormones, which indirectly affects appetite, eating behavior and energy balance center. It is mainly used for obesity and related complications such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.
Before implementing any weight loss plan, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or dietitian to ensure safe and effective management of hyperinsulinemia.
