I found this article very disappointing - a 'chicken or egg' muddle. By which I mean, for example, that symptoms are often confused with causes, and vice versa.
Whilst Dr Simon Fung's video was precise and informative, the text was not. I have no idea why the second (un-attributed) video was included.
This lack of attribution is important. The article tells us that 'modern research has shown' and 'researchers have observed' various things - but there is no link to any further factual information to support anything. This is in the face of the killer answer provided to the key paragraph heading 'Causes of insulin resistance' - the answer is 'we don't know'. (The author dresses up this fundamental truth with the flabby words 'the exact cause of insulin resistance is still not fully understood').
I was, however, especially interested to read that the writer appears to include Type I diabetics in his overview - he refers to 'reducing how much insulin the body is . . taking via injection'.
Please could someone provide a link to the 'modern research' that he refers to on this? All the research data that I have ever found on the internet apply specifically to Type II only.
