I "I've given a schidt load of insulin to skinny people."

I have seen many... Are you sure they are all Type II? I’ve seen many diabetics and the only thin ones I recall are Type I. Not saying it’s not so, but my observation.

OK, I listened to it all. Nothing ground breaking or earth shattering there. There is no 100% known truth of what causes insulin resistance. Many assume it’s our increased diet of refined foods. That’s really not a new way of thinking. Cut out the corn syrup and limit how much food you eat that comes in a box/bag. Cook with actual meat and vegetables. Still won’t reduce your risk to nothing as diabetes has always been around.
Try to eat right. Exercise. Hope you have great genetics. If those don’t work, look for a doc you trust. Contrary to some opinions, I’ve yet to work with a doc who gives one [bleep] about big pharma, so every doc out there isn’t just doing what makes someone else rich.
My experience is it’s 50/50 if a patient will stick to a decent diet or not. Diabetes patients can be extremely frustrating to treat as some just want drugs to make up for their bad diet. You're stuck with watching them kill themselves quickly without your help or slowly with your help. My goal is always to get people off drugs or use less, but that not always the patients. Current guidelines are for 3-6 months of behavior modification prior to starting any drugs. Those who are motivated to make changes often need less drugs or no drugs at all.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
