The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally

by Jason Fung

only diet and lifestyle changes—not medications—will reverse this disease,

AT ITS VERY core, type 2 diabetes can be understood as a disease caused by too much insulin, which our bodies secrete when we eat too much sugar.

Type 2 diabetes is simply an overflow phenomenon that occurs when there is too much glucose in the entire body

To burn off sugar, a popular strategy is to fast for 24 hours, two to three times per week. Another popular approach is to fast for 16 hours, five to six times per week.

If the situation is getting worse, then the only logical explanation is that our understanding and treatment of type 2 diabetes is fundamentally flawed.

The main point I get out of this book is this and this book answers this very question.

The root cause of the hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is high insulin resistance.

we need to start thinking about this, we worry to much about getting blood sugar down and not stopping resistance.

Diabetes and obesity are truly one and the same disease.

Remember, obesity is a hormonal imbalance, not a caloric one.

Remember This it is fact

the “Hormonal Obesity” diagrams from this one through Figures 5.4, 6.3, 7.2, 8.1, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, and 9.4).

Reviewed in sequence, these diagrams illustrate how the building blocks of the metabolic syndrome stack up over time.

decades old. The more I understood the physiology, the more I realized there was simply no reason that fasting couldn’t be used successfully as a therapeutic intervention. After all,
