What is insulin resistance?


Insulin resistance is commonly associated with type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form of diabetes. According to the World Diabetes Foundation, more than 200 million people worldwide have type 2 diabetes and the number is expected to reach more than 300 million by 2030.

Type 2 diabetes is also known as insulin-independent diabetes because it is not caused by a lack of insulin. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, the patient’s pancreas is healthy and produces enough insulin, but the problem arises when the insulin produced cannot be used effectively by the body’s cells to open the glucose channels that They allow glucose to enter cells for energy production or storage.

When glucose molecules can’t get into cells, they bounce back into the bloodstream, causing high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia. And these unused glucoses will be excreted from the body through urine. If the blood vessels and urinary tract are exposed to a high concentration of glucose for a long period of time, various forms of health complications will eventually begin to arise as the tubes become coated with a thick layer of sugar.

The scariest part about insulin resistance is that it is a condition that gradually gets worse. As more and more insulin receptors fail to bind insulin to open channels, cells can use less and less glucose to carry out their daily biochemical reactions. Sooner or later, the cells will starve, leading to a series of organ failures. And once an organ starts to collapse, a domino effect is started in which another organ will follow.

Many patients with diabetes mistakenly think that it is sugar that causes the onset of insulin resistance and believe that it is possible to reverse the condition by avoiding sugar and carbohydrate-rich foods. I think you have some friends or relatives who have it, and they’re practicing the zero sugar, zero carb diet. Do they seem healthier to you? I am pretty sure the answer is No. Not only do their conditions not seem to be getting better, in fact they are getting worse. They feel tired and sleepy most of the time and become emotionally unstable and easily angered.

Why is it so? If sugar is bad, why don’t they seem to improve even after total abstinence from the sweet diet? The answer is that sugar is not the culprit, it is just the innocent victim who is accused by the world as the sweet killer.

See, every cell in our body needs glucose to produce energy. Insulin resistance closes glucose channels and prevents glucose molecules from entering cells. Who is to blame here? Who is guilty? Insulin resistance!

Instead of attacking the wrong target (sugar), like most diabetes drugs do, you need to change your perspective to see type 2 diabetes from a new angle, if you want to cure it for good. It all starts with discovering the real cause of insulin resistance, which is… Acidosis.
