Yea I totally understand man! Just I am very interested in human metabolism and health. I personally had a big health scare with my Liver, it had lots of fat in it, which we know is related in the development of insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes etc. And this problem of Fatty...

Nah I just am just involved with this stuff for fun, for my own health. It’s just an interest or mine really.

Wow this is an amazing reply, really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for taking the time to write such an amazing masterpiece! It was very informative.

Well the question is what do you think about this opinion then? I mean it’s an opinion not a fact, an opinion isn’t a fact.

Well said man you are totally right, he is giving dangerous advice to people telling them if they don’t have the genes for diabetes they can go crazy and gain as much weight as you want and you will never get diabetes. Unfortunately that’s not how it works, genes may make a person more likely to...

Wow very interesting condition you have, never heard of this kind of reactive non diabetic hypoglycaemia. I agree the gut is very important and people don’t pay much attention to it.

Yeah I totally agree the food we eat is largely driving all our chronic diseases. And yes inflammation is something that really can cause lots of disease, and this inflammation is largely due to our lifestyle and the foods we consume. Personally I make all my foods at home and don’t eat outside...

Oh wow that’s very interesting, that’s why she has blood sugar on the lower side I presume. Never knew a medication could do something like this, you learn something new everyday!

Yes, relative insulin deficiency however is mostly required for classic type 2 diabetes to happen, as you mentioned in your first sentence to my reply. However I do want to mention even without having type 2 diabetes but having significant insulin resistance with a pancreas that is able to...

I absolutely agree with you, type 2 diabetes is indeed extremely complex and can happen due to many reasons. In fact some studies even suggested insulin resistance is NOT a requirement for type 2 diabetes and it can simply happen only due to beta cell dysfunction without insulin resistance. This...

Well it would be good to emphasise this further on Paitents with a family history of type 2 diabetes and explain in this way, so they really can understand. Just my opinion! Doctors can try to explain it as much as in simple terms as possible but I feel this will educate the Paitent even more so...

Yes Insulin levels are not routinely tested and you need to go to a private lab to get it tested, or a specialist clinic. However based on Many studies show that mean Insulin levels is Obese individuals is higher than mean insulin levels in normal weight individuals even if their a1c and fasting...

Well In my Honest opinion a1c Does not tell you about Insulin resistance. Yes your friend is not diabetic even though he or she has been overweight for 30 years. But they don’t check Insulin levels in the blood. A1c being “Low” does not mean insulin resistance is absent, people fail to...

The poster was only talking about type 2 diabetes. However I do want to mention something. Majority of people with Obesity do have Insulin resistance but not all are type 2 diabetic. This suggests to me insulin deficiency is more important than insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Meaning the...

“If you do not have the genes for insulin resistance, you can not become diabetic, even if you gain weight” What do you think about this statement. Btw this statement was made by a cardiologist, NOT an endocrinologist or anything so keep that in mind. He is a cholesterol expert. I think it’s...

Well yea im not worried about the a1c anymore as it went to 36 mmol/mol on its own without me doing anything, and 36 is comfortably away from 42.

Well cuz about 2 years ago I was diagnosed with PreDiabetes as my a1c was 39 mmol/mol, as in the USA 39 and above is prediabetes, due to this I wanted to do further testing, happened to have a blood sugar meter laying around at my grandmas house. Interestingly 2 years after the a1c of 39 it came...
