[QUOTE="KOPBET, post: 4286896, member: 4153"] I assume you're talking about T2D. A couple of points: I am not a doctor and this isn't med advice. Not everyone is the same and what works for one may not work for another. Here's my two cents: What causes T2D basically (simplified) comes down to lifestyle and diet. Insulin resistance from having too high a level of insulin for too much time. Obesity, excess weight. Insulin is a fat storage hormone, so obesity tends to follow high insulin. Usually in the form of fat around the midsection and around internal organs. Fatty liver being one. High glucose in the blood can cause irreversible metabolic damage and essentially affects every cell in the body. Heart, kidneys and liver are affected as well as veins and arteries leading to circulation problems. Circulation problems lead to amputations. So what causes too much insulin? Sugar and sugary drinks, carbs, starchy foods like pasta, bread and starchy vegs, alcohol and other foods [I]not to exclude[/I] artificial sweeteners (in some people.) Bad stuff comes in many forms and they ALL have to go to get health back. LOW (as possible) carbs. Someone mentioned the carnivore diet. Do it. Include intermittent fasting with that (16-20 hours a day). It's great if you can keep it up. Some people need close to zero carbs a day. Others do well at 10 or even 20. The key is a high protein to fat ratio so add more healthy fat to your diet (butter, bacon, fatty fish and red meat) if necessary. Force your body into ketosis for most of the day. Teach your body to use fat as fuel instead of carbs. Better for your brain and heart also. Eating fat making you fat is a lie. Whole, single ingredient foods are the best. Stay away from anything in a box or carton that says its KETO. It's a lie. Too much to talk about here. I probably missed a bunch. Hopefully I didn't misstate anything. There are many videos on YT about Keto, Keto/carnivore, carnivore diets and how to reverse T2D and insulin resistance. There's a thousand excuses to avoid changing diet and lifestyle. Diabetes is cruel and deadly. Best not to F around and find out. [/QUOTE]
