Insulin Resistance, A Cause to Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

by | Apr 6, 2022 | Diabetes

If you want to Prevent or Reverse Type 2 Diabetes, you must have a clear understanding of what Insulin Resistance means. Many think Type 2 Diabetes is a lack of insulin. It’s a partial truth.  First, a person gets Insulin Resistance, then the pancreas makes more insulin to maintain the normal glucose levels in the body, and then it slowly loses the ability to produce insulin as the days pass by slowly. This is the Problem with Diabetes. You should know what causes insulin resistance. No matter how much Insulin one takes daily if this is not fixed Diabetes will get worse. I have seen some Diabetic patients take insulin, but the glucose level did not come down.  It’s due to Insulin resistance. Many believe that glucose is the culprit of Diabetes. Interestingly it’s fat.

In the year 1927, Dr. Sweeny, M.D. from the US conducted novel research on a group of young healthy medical students. They were used to study the effect of different preceding diets. The students on the fat diet were given only olive oil butter, mayonnaise made with egg yolk, and 20 percent cream for two days. A glucose tolerance test was conducted after that and you can see the result in the below picture.

The next 2 Days of Carbohydrate Diet were given. Then the glucose tolerance test is conducted. You can see the results in the below picture.

Dr. Sweeny was discern that fat is playing a decisive role in glucose utilization in cell function. After many years, in 2014, a research paper titled ‘Free Fatty Acids and Muscle Insulin Resistance’ was published in ‘Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, Volume 121’. It says Insulin resistance is now accepted to be closely associated with lipid accumulation inside the muscle cells. Hence, It is scientifically proven that insulin resistance is caused by a high-fat diet.

To understand how Insulin works, you have to imagine insulin as a door key that unlocks the door. If the door lock functions well, then using insulin, the door can be unlocked and glucose can get in. In the case of insulin resistance, it is like gum is blocking the lock keyhole and then insulin is not able to work.

Now, many who are on Insulin for years are able to get reversed out of Type 2 Diabetes through Diet and Lifestyle. The Only Solution to Insulin Resistance Problem is a Whole Plant-based Diet. Fiber-rich diet and phytochemicals in plant-based food flush out the unhealthy fat in the body and increase insulin sensitivity.  A Whole Plant-based diet not only prevents Type 2 Diabetes but also helps Reverse Type 2 Diabetes. One cannot come out of Diabetes without fixing this Insulin Resistance. Once Insulin Resistance is developed, Pancreas starts secreting more insulin. At this stage, glucose levels will be right. But the pancreas slowly loses the ability to secrete insulin over the days. Then the person becomes Diabetic. There are a few other Causes of Type 2 Diabetes and I will share them soon.  If you or your loved one needs help to reverse type 2 diabetes, please Whatsapp me to come out of Diabetes in 30 to 90 Days through Diet and Lifestyle Naturally.
