You CAN get your insulin under control again, you just think you can’t.
Even if you REALLY relish eating, if you started gradually, you COULD start fasting, and your apetite would go waaaaay down.
One day they said, “We gotta test your triglycerides in a fasted state, so come at noon tomorrow without having eaten anything...”
I though I’d die. I had that test and then stuffed myself immediatley.
Later I thought, “Hey maybe tomorrow I’ll slip breakfast again, just like I did this morning...”
I did it and it was easier; I started pushing lunch back more, then more and more.
After a month I was at One Meal A Day —OMAD. And I found out that tens of thousands of other people have been doing that for years, even decades.
Know that funny, ripped NFL guy from Idiocracy and SpeedStick commercials..?
That guy has been OMAD for 15 years, and you can be, too.
You can do it.
Several years ago a German doctor came up to my bed in the V.A. hospital and said if I lost 150lbs the diabetes would go away. So I said okay, do you lose 150lbs.?
LOL. I heard this lecture 20 years ago.
IOW, obesity isn’t the cause, it’s a symptom.
The metabolic disorder, and the insulin resistance, happen first, before the weight gain.
You can fast. You can go to low carbs. Or you can just kick corn, sugar, and wheat out of your diet. They all work. You will lose weight. Your triglycerides will fall to almost nothing. Your cholesterol will go down. And your blood sugar will be perfectly under control without medication.
The one thing that doesn’t work is moderation. That is crap. Moderation is allowing yourself to eat high fructose and glucose all day in different forms. The food industry and the drug industry will love you. But your life will suck.
World record weight loss:
A Scottish man of 30 years or so weighed 350 pounds.
In a SINGLE fast with just water and vitamins, 1.3 years later he weighed just 180 pounds.
If you attempt to lower carbohydrate intake you should also raise fat intake proportionally. Otherwise you will likely fail to stay on the diet.
Largely, insulin resistance starts when ingested carb lectins mimic insulin. They plug into cellular insulin receptors without doing the job of insulin. They don’t transport blood glucose into clls. Cells starve, and the blood fills with glucose.

Is your type-2 really type 1.5? Look into LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults).
