3.1.4>45 Health ?

[dancing white ferret]

A year ago I was diagnosed with insulin resistance, which can lead to prediabetes and then type 2 diabetes, if it isn't kept in check. It's very mild, but still, something I would like to just nip in the bud. It should even be totally reversible with diet and exercise, and a little help from nutritional supplements. Basically, my cells just aren't as responsive to insulin as they should be. My blood sugar tends to be a little high sometimes right after a meal, but stabilizes on it's own, but only with an excess of insulin. So, I don't need any meds or anything for this. It has taken a while to figure out what works as far as diet and exercise, and I think I have found an approach that really works at controlling it. The only way to really know for sure how it has progressed or diminished would be blood work, and I can't do that right now, so I figured it couldn't hurt to check with the Yi... Resistance exercise, small meals, and some herbs etc.

I have no idea how some people are able to glean information about health conditions from these readings, associating certain hexagrams with different parts of the bodies etc., so I'm just guessing at my interpretation here, and interpreting as I would any casting. I would take 3 to mean that is still early and the condition can still be affected successfully. The lines seem auspicious, but I'm not sure how they relate exactly to my query. 45 seems to imply a need for help or a group/gathering somehow. Could it be as simple as get it together? I have had to put this concern on the back burner a bit, with all the stress etc. from the urgent move and unpleasant living situatuation. I suppose it could even be describing something about my physical body. Does anyone know what part of the body these hexagrams are associated with? I know 3 is pushing up out of the masses, the soil representative of people, and 45 is gathering. The horses running free are in there too. Seems kind of like a theme, but how does this contribute to the answer?...

The question I asked was "Please give me some insight into how my health condition is?" and, the answer was 3.1.4>45

I never feel very confident about my interpretation of these types of questions, and this one really seems elusive to me. I hope it is a good omen for improved health
Thanks in advance everyone...

It's funny, but I immediately thought of Islets of Langerhans ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islets_of_Langerhans ) So let's say your condition is that you are still having this health issue but that you should seek help in overcoming it. Good luck!!

Not that funny! I forgot the terminology, and since nothing in the reading to connect it to, I didn't mention it, but that is pretty much the kind of imagery that came to mind with this casting for me. I just wrote it off, but if it made you think of the same thing, might be more to it. I don't know why either. Hmmm...

It does seem to suggest getting some help with this, I think, too. But I don't think this means professional help. I hope it doesn't. I have had much better success on my own actually. What kind of help, and from who? Or what?

that's exactly it, It made me think that the islets weren't working properly and need help. It doesn't have to be a doctor if you don't want although you should get a little gizmo from the pharmacist so you can check your blood sugar and then self-regulate with herbs, diet etc . Stress is very bad for this sort of thing, my nana has had diabetes for over fourty years and it's maintained now with insulin, diet and tablets, but if she gets upset it shoots up like a rocket. And you've been through some stressful times lately so no wonder if things are not 100% on that front.

Take care!

Thanks, Precision Grace, I have some stuff that supports beta cells, the ones that produce insulin. It's in one of the herbal formulas. Pterocarpus marsupium. Amazing herb! I swithced to a different formula for a while, but I think I will switch back to that one now. I'm thinking it's the beta cells that need some support, and not so much the islets themselves. Usually, that is where things go awry. Wish I could see how to tie this into the text. Still feel like there is probably something more here though that I'm missing.
