Exercise is identified as a strategy that increases glucose uptake and improves insulin sensitivity. The article claims insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are more than 90% reversible. A seven-year study of type 2 diabetics under standard care showed extremely low rates of remission across all categories. The article rejects the view that type 2 diabetes beta cell decline is inevitably progressive. The ADA remission study did not disclose the dietary protocols used, limiting interpretation of its results. Diabetes remission through lifestyle changes alone is uncommon in mainstream medical literature. Most documented cases of type 2 diabetes remission have involved weight loss surgery rather than lifestyle changes. Reducing chronic stress is presented as useful because cortisol raises blood glucose and drives insulin. Clearing pancreatic fat is used to support the claim that type 2 diabetes and prediabetes can be reversed. Reversal is described as removing excess insulin-stimulating food so the body can burn accumulated intracellular fuel. Reversal of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes depends on restoring conditions in which pancreatic beta cells function properly. Reducing sugar…
