What Is The Best Diet For Insulin Resistant Individuals And Type 2 Diabetics

For example, if someone is a full blown type 2 diabetic and requires injections to keep their blood sugar levels down, then their body's own insulin supply will have virtually no effect. Although it is still being created, its ability to lower blood sugar levels are practically zero. How ever, someone who is fairly active but overweight and eats a poor diet consisting mainly of refined carbohydrates and sugars, will probably have some degree of insulin resistance but will more than likely not even know it. It will be some time before any serious problems manifest.

Insulin resistance is the precursor to type 2 diabetes and as with all diseases, prevention is much better than cure. That aside, if you do already have insulin resistance then halting any factors that will continue to advance the condition should be your number one priority in life from here on out.

This change in diet will not cause you harm but it may make you feel different for a while. Your body can and will run quite adequately with little or no carbohydrate.
