Thank you very much for the replies. I have learned alot from looking around on the forums and the people here are great. I am now focusing all my attention on insulin resistance. My main goal is to try learn about this issue and make the necessary changes in my diet.

PLEASE give me some advice on how to treat insulin resistance. I googled it and read info for hours and have good idea of what it is, but there are alot of different things about how you can treat it or become more insulin sensitive.

I have read that eating soluble fiber can help and I have looked in to a few fiber supplements. The problem is I don't want to be on the toilet all day, so I need to find something that does not make you go. For example, when I eat oatmeal, which has fiber in it, it doesn't seem to make me go. I looked into oat bran and oat bran concentrate which seems promising, but would like to hear other opinions.

I have also looked at things like benefiber, but don't know if this would be good. If you know of any good foods that have alot of soluble fiber in it or could benefit insulin resistance, please let me know.

There have been numerous supplements listed to help insulin resistance, but it hard to figure out what really works or not. If you have had some good results with anything or could mention something that I might want to check out, please let me know.

Due to my insulin resistance, my appetitie is often out of control at night for me and I am thinking that taking an appetite supressant or something similar might help me in the short term. This is not something I want to do, but I also want to survive and I feel like if I am eating myself to death right now. I do have a ADD problem, so I was considering adderall, but I also have heart problems right now and that is a stimulant, so I am little worried. If you know of anything, that would be great.

If you would like to include anything else related to treating insulin resistance, I would be grateful. Thank you.
