The takeaways from an appointment with an NP from Yale’s Medical Weight Management/Obesity Clinic to ask why my endogenous insulin is so high: • you need to lose weight • we have weight loss management shakes & soups • eat every 2 hours • you need to be on 2mg Ozempic • obesity is pro-inflammatory • we don’t manage insulin • you need to lose weight I waited 4 mos for this BS. Her final recommendation was bariatric surgery & work with a Yale dietitian. I asked her how to lose weight with elevated insulin: speak to the dietitian & your endocrinologist. <<sigh>>
