Why are so many people stuck on more insulin, not less?
The truth is, type 2 diabetes isn’t primarily a disease of “not enough insulin.”
It’s a disease of insulin resistance, when your body stops responding to the insulin you already have.
That’s why adding more insulin often doesn’t fix the problem… it can make it worse.
But here’s the good news: research shows insulin resistance can be reduced through food, lifestyle, and stress management (DeFronzo, 2009).
Many people are lowering — and even eliminating — their need for insulin.
We’re on a mission to spread this truth. Too many people have been told diabetes is a one-way street. It’s not.
