Lower insulin sensitivity found In Mexican-Americans...

Kathrynne,

It's not just insulin resistance.  I just did a survey at a health fair 
sponsored by Radio Unica in which almost half of the women had at least two 
symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome...and yet their blood glucoses, being 
measured by my colleague, were normal.  My hand was sore by the end of the 
day because I was writing so many notes to physicians to please check insulin 
levels.

It's not just about insulin.  It's about a basic hypothalamic disruption that 
affects the function of several major hormones.  I showed the raw data to 
another research colleague whose comment was, "You've got a major case of 
population-wide metabolic syndrome here."

If any of you want to see the questions I was asking, you can see them on my 
website, http://www.afterthediet.com.  The Spanish version of the 
questionnaire is available by clicking the link at the top of the English 
page.
