Unhelpful and Wrong Information

This video tells us that the excess glucose in our blood is the problem. That's misleading. In fact the problem is the increasing amount of insulin in the blood, as the body tries is desperation to get rid of the excess glucose. The best solution is to remove the original glucose spike.
The video also assumes that there is capacity inside the cells for more glucose to be stored as glycogen. That may not be the case. Glycogen stores may already be full, especially in non-active people. More insulin might FORCE some extra glucose into your cells, but more likely, it will convert that glucose into adipose tissue. FAT.
So in the long run, the insulin stores the excess glucose as adipose tissue. You get fat. But it does other damage too. The insulin causes the blood vessels to become red, inflamed and swollen. ALL you blood vessels, but you'll notice in the toes and fingers and in the eyes, where the deterioration first becomes obvious. By the time you notice it, this damage has been going on for several years.
With a well formulated low-carbohydrate diet, diabetes patients should be able to develop very flat blood glucose levels, and avoid all medication for diabetes. (Please do this with your doctors supervision.) After several months with weight loss and less inflammation, much of the damage done in the past might repair itself.
We all need encouragement and help, to give us the confidence to keep our nutritional plan going.
"How to Cure Type 2 Diabetes"

Jay Wortman, MD, tells the story of how he got rid of his rampant type 2 diabetes, using a simple dietary change. Ten years later he is still free from the disease and needs no medication. He just stopped eating the foods that turn to sugar in the body.
Diabetes and Future Alzheimer's
This issue is more important that ever because Dr Suzanne de la Monte, has proven that Alzheimer's is actually an additional form of diabetes in the brain. 100% of Alzheimer's patients had insulin resistance. No need to panic. Type II diabetes isn't a progressive, incurable disease. We DO know how to stop and reverse type II diabetes, and we know how to greatly reduce the amount of insulin type I diabetics are using. We use the Banting Diet.
Dr Dale Bredesen has developed a protocol for the reversal of Alzheimer's, and a key part of that protocol is to eat a diet that keeps you in mild ketosis, which is exactly what the Banting Diet does.
