Well I had a baby a year ago, and my body has changed quit a bit. I found out 3 weeks ago I was hyperinsulinemia, which is the step before becoming a type 2 diabetic. I’m not sure what the symptoms are for my hyperinsulinemia or what are just changes pregnancy did to me. So if people could tell me what they know about things your body goes through through hyperinsulinemia then I could kind of sort out whats right and wrong. I have dry skin now, I have a hard time loosing weight, now energy, I have really dry skin on my feet. Maybe that’s me maybe it’s not. I just need 2 know as much as possible please. And no one has 2 tell me how to get rid of hyperinsulinemia because I know enough about that now. THankyou
What Are The Symptoms Of Hyperinsulinemia, Or Type 2 Diabetes????

Hyperinsulinemia is too much insulin, and usually related to insulin resistance. Your body isn’t using the insulin the way it is suppose to, so your pancreas pumps out more insulin to handle the blood sugar in your system. This could be one of the first steps toward becoming type 2 diabetic in the future, but not everyone with Hyperinsulinemia will become diabetic. The more changes you make now, the less likely you will become diabetic. Exercise increases insulin sensitivity, which means less insulin is needed to handle the blood sugar in your blood stream. When your body needs less insulin to handle the blood sugar, then your pancreas will not produce as much insulin, so that your insulin levels will return closer to normal. BTW, there are no symptoms for Hyperinsulinemia, and usually can only be detected with a specific blood test.
SXYMAMA !
Hyperinsulinemia means you have too much insulin in your blood. It isn’t diabetes. But hyperinsulinemia is often associated with type 2 diabetes.
Insulin is produced by your pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar. Hyperinsulinemia is a sign of an underlying problem that’s causing your pancreas to secrete excessive amounts of insulin.
The most common cause of hyperinsulinemia is insulin resistance, a condition in which your body is resistant to the effects of insulin and your pancreas tries to compensate by making more insulin. Insulin resistance may also eventually lead to the development of type 2 diabetes.
Rarely, hyperinsulinemia is caused by:
A tumor of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (insulinoma)
Excessive numbers of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas (nesidioblastosis)
Hyperinsulinemia causes no signs or symptoms unless it
causes low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

hi there the irish diabetes fedteration have a very good web site and they also have a question section just put all the name together and add .ie to get the site
No, it’s not the step before you become a diabetic. You ARE a diabetic. It means that you have too much insulin in your body, because your body is not using is the way it should. It means your pancreas is cranking out all this insulin and your body does not know what to do with it. Some type 2 diabetics are like this. Other types 2′s pancreas does not make enough insulin. It the same type as far as the diabetes goes, but they are not quite the same. One is too much insulin and the other is not enough. Both are type 2. It is also possible for your body to change again. In time, your body may not make enough insulin instead of too much. This has happened to me. Now mine is not making any at all, except for a trace. You will have the same symptoms that most diabetics have.
Constant thirst
Frequent urination
Constant hunger
Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
Blurry vision
Itchy skin with no rash
Frequent yeast infections or itching penis in men
Slow healing wounds
Leg cramps
Tingling in hands and feet
Headaches from high blood sugar
Fatigue
Boils
These are all signs of diabetes, and there are more. These are just the more frequent complaints. You will have to take medication, usually metformin and possibly other oral meds. They will help your body use the insulin correctly. Take your meds the way your doctor instructed, check your blood sugar in the mornings, before each meal and two hours after each meal. Always call your doctor if you have questions or changes in your disease. Get a dietitian or nutritionist to help you. Good luck and keep smiling…it takes awhile, but things will get better.
