Exercise is one of the fastest and most powerful ways to lower your insulin and leptin resistance.

However it has been my clinical experience that in all the type 2 diabetics that I have worked with who have stayed with the dietary and lifestyle modifications we have recommended, that none of them have progressed to require insulin therapy. Commitment and compliance with making the dietary changes a way of life and proper use of supplementation, along with lifestyle modifications have consistently resulted in resolution of type 2 diabetes.

In type 2 diabetes, patients can still produce insulin, but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs, particularly in the face of insulin resistance as discussed above. In many cases this actually means the pancreas produces larger than normal quantities of insulin. A major feature of type 2 diabetes is a lack of sensitivity to insulin by the cells of the body (particularly fat and muscle cells). In addition to the problems with an increase in insulin resistance, the release of insulin by the pancreas may also be defective and suboptimal. In fact, there is a known steady decline in beta cell production of insulin in type 2 diabetes that contributes to worsening glucose control. (This is a major factor for many patients with type 2 diabetes who ultimately require insulin therapy.) Finally, the liver in these patients continues to produce glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis despite elevated glucose levels. The control of gluconeogenesis becomes compromised.
