Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Member496333" data-source="post: 2019761">The majority of type 2 are insulin resistant, not insulin deficient. Most of us are overproducing insulin until the pancreas becomes very badly clogged. Before that stage the main problem is fatty liver and hepatic insulin resistance. Depending on progression it can take a very long time for both the liver and pancreas to return to full working order, and even then, the mechanism that brought about diabetes can bring it about again if you return to putting glucose into your body.You don’t just get diabetes overnight. It takes a long time. If you are able to purge your body back to the levels of sugar that it contained in your childhood, you could theoretically return to eating carbohydrate...until you once again filled it up. I personally feel that the majority pay too much attention to blood glucose. It doesn’t tell you anything about the glucose in your whole body, only that which is being rejected by the liver and thus accumulating in the blood. If one considers oneself cured based on blood glucose alone, you have no way of knowing how many doughnuts you are away from hitting the overflow again.</blockquote>
