The standard approach treats high blood sugar with medications while ignoring what caused it: chronically high insulin. A different approach—addressing the root cause—achieves remission rates up to 46% in real-world settings. Here's the evidence most doctors never see.

You've tried everything. Eaten less, exercised more, counted calories. But the weight won't budge. What if the problem was never your lack of willpower — but a fuel switch that got stuck?

Dr. Jason Fung’s main message in this video is that type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance are not chronic, irreversible diseases—contrary to popular belief, they can be reversed by changing how we eat.
An interview with Dr. Ben Bikman, on how Insulin resistance silently shapes the trajectory of nearly every major chronic disease, yet it's often overlooked until blood sugar abnormalities become obvious.

The Case for Keto
The Truth About Low-Carb, High-Fat Eating
'The Case for Keto' challenges what we've been told about healthy eating and presents evidence for why a ketogenic lifestyle might be the key to reversing obesity and metabolic disease.

A 5‑year very‑low‑carb, remote‑care program for type 2 diabetes showed durable benefits: 20% remission among completers, 33% reached HbA1c <6.5% with no meds or only metformin, alongside less medication and improved heart‑risk markers.
A nurse‑delivered, real‑food low‑energy, low‑carb plan led to far greater weight loss and HbA1c reductions in 12 weeks than usual care. Short‑term cardiometabolic markers and medication use improved too.
Reducing carbs can markedly improve blood sugar and cut insulin needs in diabetes; strong long‑term trials are the missing piece.
You might wonder: Is weight loss without constant hunger even possible? Research on type 2 diabetes patients showed that a low-carb diet caused a spontaneous drop in daily calorie intake, while simultaneously boosting insulin sensitivity by 75%
Tired of regaining weight after dieting? Research shows that a low-carb diet significantly boosts your daily calorie burn—up to 478 calories for those with high insulin secretion—making long-term weight maintenance dramatically easier.
Lower‑carb guidance in a UK GP practice led to 46% drug‑free type 2 diabetes remission and 93% normalization of prediabetes, with significant drops in HbA1c, weight, BP, and triglycerides.
Low-carb diets match or beat low-fat for Type 2 diabetes—often cutting meds and improving HbA1c—without evidence of increased cardiovascular risk.
The ADA’s consensus report signals a major shift by confirming that personalized nutrition—including low-carbohydrate diets—demonstrates the most evidence for immediate blood sugar control, validating flexible eating plans over the old 'one-size-fits-all' standard
