Will Belara with insulin resistance affect blood sugar levels and fat gain in the body?

Hello, will taking Belara tablets with insulin resistance affect blood sugar levels and fat gain in the body? The drug was prescribed by a gynecologist to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce the pain felt at that time, the cause of which, according to the doctor, is insulin and this measure is to reduce its level in the blood. However, I have some doubts about his theory. it is also important for me to maintain weight and I wonder if it will be possible to take this measure?

No, to my knowledge, Belara should not significantly affect blood sugar levels or fat gain in people with insulin resistance. Indeed, it will not matter more than the caloric surplus. I am referring here to the situation that fat gain may occur sooner due to the consumption of more calories than is needed, and not because of the drug. If your doctor sees the causes of insulin resistance m.in hormonal disorders, hormone therapy may be helpful because contraceptives can alter peripheral insulin resistance. Insulin resistance requires an individual approach to the patient, so if the doctor decided that it is worth checking this treatment option with you, I suspect that he had reasons for it. The warnings listed in the leaflet or summary of product characteristics apply to people suffering from diabetes, i.e. a disease in which abnormal blood sugar levels are observed. Please note that if in your case we are talking about insulin resistance, there may be abnormal insulin levels, but they are not yet abnormal blood glucose levels. To sum up - the patient's observations are extremely important, so it is worth bearing in mind for several months whether the well-being, weight, hunger and satiety have changed, because the drug may affect it (according to the manufacturer's information). However, the most important challenge is still to follow the existing recommendations regarding diet, activity, lifestyle. I leave links to our videos and articles that deal in more detail with the issues I mentioned in this reply: https://youtu.be/0bXte203EQE https://youtu.be/1-aueDuKKdU https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/insulinoopornosc-i-stan-przedcukrzycowy-o-krok-od-cukrzycy
