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

The podcast in its entirety teases out that the guests simply didn’t understand the difference between pathological insulin resistance and physiological glucose sparing. Rather, maybe they did, but didn’t really want to acknowledge it. I think this is where things got frustrating for Paul and he started talking over them a bit.Your last comment about insulin is bang on the money, For T2DM, insulin, or rather, probable  hyperinsulinemia, is everything. We must stop obsessing over glucose. Glucose in the blood is only the symptom of the metabolic derangement. We must know what is happening with our insulin production before drawing any conclusions or deciding on any appropriate courses of action.It’s also worth noting that on the high fruit diet, his insulin requirements did actually go up, just not proportional to his increased glucose ingestion. This would be a disaster for a T2 who is already maxing-out their pancreas. One thing that I didn’t hear mentioned was the effect of fructose in the liver, which is also a massive factor for anyone with T2 or anyone who doesn’t want to get it.Their high-glucose, high-fructose strategy may work for T1 but it would be more likely to give someone T2 than reverse it. As always, of course, we are free to make our own informed choices. The overall  impression I got was that these guys were charlatans and just weren’t really all that knowledgable. But again, that could be my bias colouring my opinion.</blockquote>
