Hello Florentino,

You seem to have insulin figured out. Only 4 hours of sleep a day is an amazingly low amount of sleep, I don’t know how you do it.  

On another note, you should go to your doctor and get a blood panel to make sure your insulin sensitivity is normal. Then when you have your numbers from the test, use the link to the HOMA-IR calculator on my post, let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks for dropping by and your comments.

Hello Scott,

I am glad you found the article informative. I estimate there are 2 billion people in the world that are insulin resistant and if you read between the lines it means they are diabetic. 

You need too stop drinking diet coke and start drinking tea, or coffee, unsweetened, and of course water. 

Find out your carb tolerance, talk to your doctor  by getting a blood panel and get the following tests: ALT, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, triglycerides and HDL along with other blood tests that your doctor recommends. 

The key is to figure out your insulin and control your insulin sensitivity. 

Have a look at the bottom of the page I absolutely recommend you read those books plus another book called “The Blood Code by Dr. Richard Maurer. You can also check out my Recommended Book To Read page you will have months and months of reading.

Let me know if you have any other metabolic issues you need help with.

The metabolic system is affected. The best cure is to stop eating and fast, 8, 10, or 12 hours a day is an outstanding tip because I only sleep 4 hours a day and I feel fine. However, I realized that just because I feel fine it doesn’t mean I’m ok.

I believe it is the lifestyle. Exercise, proper food, complete rest no refined processed food, and no junk food. Do not eat all the time. We need to do some fasting at some point. That’s a lot of information including avoiding sugar.  The best things are the remedies and practical suggestions. Great content.

I’m surprised with the don’t replace sugar with alternatives recommendation.  I drink a lot of Diet Coke…  I guess I should curb that habit.

I do love my carbs but I just started a low carb diet so I guess I’ll be addressing that as I go too.

I’m 43 years old, 5’11” and weigh 208 pounds.  I know I’m overweight and although I’m not diabetic yet, it runs in my family so this is a big concern for me.

Thanks again.  I’ll be reading this post once more and making sure I have it all figured out in my head and make a decision on how to proceed, mainly with my diet going forward.

Hello Henderson,

Appreciate the kind words.

I am/was a type 2 diabetic that was misled by my doctor and no offense against him as he is not a metabolic specialist. He is a doctor who like 99 % of the doctors work with big Pharma and prescribe medicine whether it works or not.

 I like my doctor because he works out everyday and is slim, I explain to him which tests I need and also tell him which books he should read. He listens, takes notes and tells his clients to check out my website.

As soon as he figures out that the solution to chronic diseases is food and not drugs then I can start asking for his advice.

 Prescription drugs are so destructive they end up causing more damage than they cure. Perfect example is Metformin a drug used to lower blood sugar, yes it lowers blood sugar, great, but it does not address the problem of insulin resistance. Other issues from Metformin are nausea, diarrhea, and not feeling well. 

Figure out your insulin and you can master your health. Start with a nutritious low carb high fat diet and get off of the Standard Western Diet (SAD). 

Check out my Recommended Books To Read page and read: Metabolic Autophagy, Diabetes Epidemic and You, The Blood Code, Food is Your Best Medicine, and The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance.

Hello Robert,

I agree with you insulin resistance is a serious subject that needs attention. We know that you must have a nutritious diet and reduce other factors that will lead to insulin secretion.

Any diet that reduces sugar and processed foods should work.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition that can be controlled through exogenous insulin.

I agree we need to spread the word that you must be aware of metabolic issues and you need to start by eating whole unprocessed natural food. 

Stay healthy and thank you for commenting.

Hello,

I am glad you appreciate and find the information useful. 

I agree with you, eat whole natural unprocessed food and you will remain healthy, at least diet wise. Other factors that contribute to insulin resistance are stress, medication, drug use and lack of sleep.

Take care of yourself and you can put type 2 diabetes into remission, it is hard work but can be done.

Stay healthy.

Thanks for your comments.

Hello,

I am glad you appreciate my information. 

Your medical doctor friend will eventually experience insulin resistance and full blown types 2 diabetes unless he slows down eating sugar. You should educate your doctor friend and spread the word on a nutritious diet.

I ultimately suggest to everyone and anyone, stop eating sugar and processed foods. An exercise routine is a big factor to lower insulin sensitivity. 

Thanks for commenting.

Hello Saori,

Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is also known as processed food disease. I remember Dr. Robert Lustig saying that before and he is absolutely right.

Big Sugar is cashing in on people that are addicted to sugar. Unfortunate, and so sad. 

I agree that schools should teach kids about proper nutrition this may reduce the metabolic issues that is so prevalent nowadays.

Thank you for commenting.
