To Doc: Re underactive pancrease
Doc as explained earlier the homeopath diagonosed my pancrease as underactive. This was done using some type of meter which checks the functioning of each organ in the body. I should also have mentioned that my insulin blood test did coem back with quite a high reading and i was put onto glucophage which only caused other issues like unbalanced hormones.
Does this mean that i am diabetic and that due to my pancrease not functioning properly, i should seek other treatment other than glucophage?

Macy, if you have high insulin levels it seems to indicate a normal or increase pancreas activity, not decreased activity. It doesn’t sound like you’re diabetic because diabetics have low insulin levels. You’re probably insulin resistant and that is why you were given the Glucophage®. If you have more questions please post them as a new question to ensure that I receive them. Good luck.
