[QUOTE="mazza 2, post: 2019703, member: 468347"] Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask your opinions about reversing diabetes according to Jason Fung. I have been reading and listening to the advice of Jason regarding diabetes and I am a little confused!! He states that diabetes is a result of [B]hyperinsulinemia [/B]which I understand. Therefore, diabetics need to treat this which will result in lower blood sugars. He then states that diabetes is caused by fat surrounding the pancreas and liver which you need to get rid of and once that happens your beta cells in your pancreas will start to work. I was told on the Desmond course that the beta cells die off due to overwork, but he disagrees with this and says they can't work because of the fat in the pancreas. Therefore, if he is saying that once you remove the visceral fat from the internal organs, and your beta cells are all there and working correctly, how come that even though diabetes is reversed, you still couldn't eat something high carb without a sugar spike? If someone reversers their diabetes and had a cake they would spike unlike a non-diabetic. So, even though they have no signs or symptoms of type 2 diabetes, they still can't eat foods which are high carb as they would cause a sugar spike. Surely, there must be something else which causes this to happen, what I'm trying to say is once you become diabetic, regardless of having a normal HBA1C and normal blood sugars, no visceral fat, your body still reacts to carbs. I'm thinking I am viewing this incorrectly, but just wondered what views other members have. Thanks and have a good day. [/QUOTE]
