[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2078392"] If you concentrate on not putting glucose (carbs) into your body, then the weight loss will follow in the fullness of time. It’s important to know that being overweight or obese doesn’t cause diabetes, it’s a coexisting symptom of excessive circulating insulin. The body converts excess glucose to be stored harmlessly in those fat cells. It’s a protection mechanism [I]from[/I] diabetes, not the cause. I think this is undoubtedly the single biggest misconception with T2. It will often appear that losing weight improves diabetes, but actually it’s more a case of improving diabetes making you lose weight. Or one hand washing the other, if you will, but the reduction in blood insulin is the kickstarter of the whole process. [/QUOTE]
