Insulin actively blocks the breakdown of stored body fat, meaning that as long as insulin is high, it will be very difficult to lose weight, even if you are eating very little. When you eat a high-carb diet, the resulting increase in your blood sugar triggers an insulin response in your body, and insulin blocks your body’s ability to burn fat. The problem with these programs is that they tend to be high in carbs, even if they are cutting back on calories. But many patients have tried this and have seen minimal results, while also fighting unsustainable hunger and cravings. Most lifestyle interventions focus on eating less and exercising more.
Shifting the paradigm to diabetes reversal, however, means addressing the root causes of type 2 diabetes. Taking medications for type 2 diabetes combats the end result, which is rising blood sugar, but does not address the root causes-insulin resistance and carbohydrate intolerance. The medication approach focuses on management of diabetes, not reversal. They are expensive and many come with a host of side effects. The problem with a medication-based approach is that you’ll most likely have to be on these medications for the rest of your life. Many new drugs have been brought to market, and there are hundreds of lifestyle interventions to choose from.
With the explosion of type 2 diabetes, there has also been an explosion in the treatments offered.
