[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2231270, member: 506169"] You heard right. Type 2 Diabetes is a form of Insulin Resistance meaning your Blood Glucose is high because you need a huge amount of Insulin to force the glucose into muscle and fat cells. Note that in Type 2 the pancreas is being overworked into producing far more Insulin than normal - several medications are designed to squeeze even more out of it until it fails. At this point (or before if you are lucky), conventional medicine prescribes Insulin to compensate for the failing pancreas. Carbohydrates are the main culprit for causing Glucose in the blood stream. Thus a high Carb meal triggers high Insulin production to remove the dangerous levels of Glucose in the blood by storing excess glucose into fat cells i.e. making you fatter. But this tend to make Insulin Resistance even worse, requiring more Insulin and around we go in a vicious circle! That is why many here choose to cut carbs and get off Insulin and other diabetes medications (except in some cases for Metformin). [/QUOTE]
