[QUOTE="robertconroy, post: 297907, member: 30728"] Well doctors see a person that's overweight and figure they're on their way to diabetes, bucause a lot of doctors believe being overweight causes diabetes. Well that's a bit of a jump because 80% of all type 2 are overweight. In the U.S. 80% of people over 25 are overweight. Actually the truth is, high insulin causes both. If your triglycerides are high, your insulin is probably high as well meaning you already have insulin resistance. Well, I lost 62 lbs. and didn't make a bit of difference in my HbA1c. My doctor said losing 30 lbs. would make a huge difference, it didn't. Let's put it this way, if your waist is over 38 inches for a man or 35 inches for a woman, you probably already have insulin resistance and you need to learn about glycemic loads of foods to lower your insulin levels. If you don't, good chanced you'll be diabetic. Exercise will make you more sensitive to insulin, this is good, but it won't make you lose weight just by burning calories. You have to burn 3,500 calories just to lose 1 pound. Try that some time. Besides, if you have high insulin, it will come right back in a day or so. Diabetes is only a number, insulin resistance will surely get worse if you do nothing. Grains and dried fruits seem to be the worst for glycemic load. Cut out all grains and you will see an improvement right away. To prove I know what I'm talking about, I lost 24 lbs. in 28 days by just eating low glycemic load. Low glycemic load is the best way to lose weight and improve both your cholesterol and blood glucose. You see, insulin is the fat storage hormone. When it's high, carbs. are stored as fat rather than being burned for energy. When it's low, you can lose a pound a day by just regular activities, even walking a bit each week. Your doctor is well meaning, thank God for that. We are now seeing lots of skinny newly diagnosed type 2s. They have a diet quality issue, not a diet quantity issue, but probably a high metabolism. If your insulin isn't high, you won't gain weight and you won't get type 2 diabetes. Why aren't doctors checking insulin levels? Good question.
