π₯π₯¬π½π Hereβs the hard truth about diabetes β at first itβs easy to dismiss high blood sugar, but failing to treat it with a sense of urgency can often result in the onset of multiple chronic diseases.
Most people treat diabetes like a wart β making minor changes that donβt stick in the long-term.
Your life can be radically different, but you have to act with a sense of urgency otherwise nothing will change.

In effect, the carbohydrate- centric diabetes model says that excess insulin causes insulin resistance. It points a finger at insulin as being the cause of insulin resistance, arguing that insulin is your βfat- storage hormoneβ and that it is responsible for unwanted weight gain. According to this model, the solution to diabetes is to eat foods that minimize or eliminate your need for insulin, which includes foods that are low in carbohydrate energy, high in fat, and high in protein. Following this logic, carbohydrate- rich foods are to blame for high insulin levels, and high insulin levels are to blame for insulin resistance and weight gain.
In the subsequent chapters of this book (The Mastering Diabetes Book) we will demonstrate with overwhelming evidence that the carbohydrate- centric model of diabetes is more than just wrong; it is an overly simplified attempt at explaining diabetes using a single variable. It is a great example of flawed logic that focuses on only one component of your diet (carbohydrates) and teaches you how to eat foods high in fat and protein to minimize your insulin needs in the short term, with no regard for almost a hundred years of scientific evidence that demonstrates the long- term chronic disease risks of eating foods high in fat and protein.
The reason why millions of people around the world believe that the carbohydrate- centric diabetes model is correct is because carbohydrate- rich foods will spike your blood glucose if and only if your baseline level of insulin resistance is high to begin with. As you will learn in the subsequent chapters, insulin resistance makes it extremely challenging to eat carbohydrate- rich foods without experiencing high blood glucose, which means that if you are already insulin resistant, then you are likely to experience high blood glucose any time you eat carbohydrate- rich foods. So the question then becomes . . . is insulin resistance actually caused by something other than insulin?
This is an excerpt from Page 41 of the Mastering Diabetes book: What Really Causes Insulin Resistance?
π§ Why do people who routinely avoid high-carb foods in favor of high-protein and high-fat foods experience the highest blood glucose response when they do eat carbohydrate-containing foods?
π± In the context of a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet, the more high-carb foods you eat, the more insulin sensitive you become. And this is why eating this way can prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes, as well as decrease insulin requirements in type 1 and type 1.5 diabetes.

If you go out on the street and ask 100 people βwhat causes diabetes?β most people will tell you one of the following:
* Sugar causes diabetes
* Carbs cause diabetes
* Carbohydrates cause diabetes
While it may seem tempting to blame βsugarβ and βcarbsβ for diabetes, the truth is that sugar can cause diabetes...but only in certain circumstances. π°π§π₯§π¦π¨πππ«
The biggest question to ask yourself is this: are you consuming carbohydrates in a low-fat environment or a high-fat environment?
The big picture is whatβs important to understand: a diet high in refined sugar is a missed opportunity to consume healthy, natural sugars found in Whole Foods ππππ₯π₯π.

π If you have type 2 diabetes, and you reverse insulin resistance, then guess what-- you've succeeded at reversing type 2 diabetes!
It really is that simple, and this is why we've tried to drill this over and over again:
If you reverse insulin resistance early enough, you reverse type 2 diabetes!
