Pioneering scientists are throwing away the old modality of treating T2DM and conquering new Lands. They compiled many data revolving around visceral fat being the root cause of the condition, but they have not yet put in place all the pieces of the puzzle.
I am a 55 years old engineer, and have been type 2 diabetic for 17 years. For a good reason I became opssessd with my sickness. This is in brief due to the death of my first wife 7 years ago from breast cancer and my quick remarriage to a younger woman. and for having two wonderful kids soon after. This all made me want to renew my youth again and enjoy the blessings destiny has generously endowed me after the agony that I went through. I consider myself the most motivated person on Earth to want to eradicate his T2DM. And If any is feeling curious, Yes, improving my sexual performance is the biggest reason.
I may continue this personal story, but who cares. Let me tell you what I think diabetes really is.
To describe it better I have to remind you of the presence of a starvation mode. This describes the state through which the body acts when deprived from carbs for a long time. The body literally adapts in one step after the other and tries to allocate energy resources to the organ that needs it the most. But virtually the body will take a beating and suffer from protein deficiency before further complications and death. Most scientists agree on the existence of this starvation mode.
But when people gain weight, no one defines this stage as a storage mode. If the human body can identify a starvation period and take necessary measures, why is it so difficult to assume that when it detects the beginning of a food abundance period it will again take necessary measures to store the anticipated surplus energy!!!
So. A person just swallowed a high quantity of carbs and fat. and the pancreas reacted with a large spike of insulin, loud enough to send the extra fat in the meal to the visceral stores. This starts a signal to the body to physiologically embrace itself for the abundance period and that it's time to start saving energy. So it resorts to the only way it knows how to keep the fat over there without releasing it later between meals.
It elevates its basal insulin levels. And instantaneously instructs the muscles to lower their sensitivity to insulin to avoid hypoglycaemia.
This is the first time in history that it is suggested that IR develops for a good reason. And that IR is not the culprit behind elevated insulin levels.
The rest of the story is very simple. The elevated insulin level makes it even easier to store more fat from the next meal and so on, expecting that in few months this abundance period will come to an end and that a starvation period will ensue just as it has evolved to experience for thousands of years.
However, this is not what happens in our modern days of excessive eating. The storage mode never halts, and the visceral stores become full, meaning that fat will be deposited forcibly in extremely wrong places. The body orders the pancreas to reduce its secretion of insulin, which albeit remains relatively high. And while insulin levels subsides gradually, a point will come when it can no longer serve the muscles' requirements of glucose.
