While not unheard of in Type 1's, insulin resistance is, by far, more

common in Type 2.

This is hogwash. Most insulin resistance is caused by a postreceptor defect,

meaning the receptor is fine, but it's a step within the cell that is

faulty.

And HGH (human growth hormone) is a counterregulatory hormone that increases

insulin resistance.

Buyer beware.

Sula:

From the data, Dr. Bernstein has published, boosting insulin

production is one of the worse things to do. According to him, it does

indeed cause the islets to burn out, and stop producing at all. Also

insulin converts some carbs to fat as well. Of course, take everyone's

advice with a grain of splendra , but so far, I've lost 30 pounds

due to his recommendation of a low-carb diet and my BGs are much, much

lower than they was in July.

Which is why I find it incredulious that the ADA still maintains a

high carb diet. (check their food pyrimid) All they want me to eat,

would blow my BGs out of the water.

Of course, I maintain also that don't believe everything you read, or

told. Try it yourself, have yourself tested, and see what goes on.

There is tests coming that can see (or asertain) how much blockage

your developing in arteries, so hopefully between them, and blood

tests, you can accually know what's happening, and who's right.

No, unless I was gaining weight, and my BGs go up, I'll stick with a

low carb diet, ALA, and Cinnimon. Just have to watch to make sure my

colesterial, HDL/LDL and tri-g don't get out of control again.
