[QUOTE="AliB, post: 93318, member: 16907"] It is Leptin resistance that is the issue and it is that that seems to have a knock-on effect to insulin and the way we process carbs - that and the tendency that we in the 'West' have to constantly 'graze'. Because we don't eat properly and allow enough time between each lot of food the body never gets into a proper energy (and fat) burning mode, and therefore a proper insulin response mode. The article is really applicable to those T2's who have weight issues, but it seems that even if weight is not a problem Leptin imbalance can still be affecting insulin response. Lower carbs will help, but it is important to not keep topping up the blood sugar levels with more food, otherwise the liver never gets a chance to work properly. What Byron is saying is that it is only by getting the Leptin issue back into balance that the other things will follow. It is not a case of looking for yet another 'pill to end all ills', it is about re-training the body back into a condition where it will work better on its own. Those of us who are following a low-carb regime are already part of the way there. We are able to control our sugar levels far better by re-training ourselves to enjoy a lower carbohydrate lifestyle. Personally I am not interested in the 'Pharmaceutical' interest in Leptin because they are only looking at it as a potential 'cash cow' for drug presentation. Even if they made a drug to stop Leptin resistance I wouldn't be interested not only because my field of interest lies in getting my body back into a condition where it will work more efficiently naturally, but also because drugs just complicate the way our bodies work and often create as many. or even more problems than they solve. The less of their toxic rubbish I need to take the better. I know what I need to be doing in order to heal my body and I can see evidence that it is working. I still have a way to go but I am determined to get there. The fact that I no longer suffer with debilitating IBS or raging restless legs, that I sleep much better, have more energy, that Candida issues are virtually now non-existent, that my digestion is so much better than it was 18 months ago when I could hardly eat anything, that I have been able to drop from about 40 units of insulin per day to about 12, that I no longer need blood-pressure medication, that I have lost 3 stone in weight, and that I no longer get those awful gouty needle-sharp pains in my toes are huge indicators to me that I am travelling in the right direction. Did you read the article, Ken? PS. There are 843 study and pharma references in the back of his book 'Mastering Leptin'. [/QUOTE]
