Western Medicine’s Short-Sighted Attempt At Treating Type 2 Diabetes

Estimated Read Time: 1 minute

Western Medicine is looking at insulin all wrong.

Everywhere I turn, I see people taking diabetes medications that stimulate their pancreas to pump out MORE insulin…

And when that’s not enough, they’re prescribed insulin injections.

  • Insulin: A hormone known to cause weight gain. 
  • Insulin: A hormone known to cause insulin resistance. 
  • Insulin: A hormone that can be your greatest weapon or your worst enemy. 

It doesn’t matter if the insulin is coming from your pancreas or an injection; the outcome is the same. 

Western Medicine is taking something that’s totally repairable and making it…worse.

Because here’s the thing:

Having Type 2 Diabetes does NOT mean you need more insulin.

It actually means that your body has become so “resistant” to high levels of insulin that you require MORE than normal to keep your blood sugar in range.

BIIIG difference.

The solution here is NOT more insulin—that’s just adding gasoline to the fire.

More insulin = more insulin resistance.

The solution is to reverse “insulin resistance” and become “insulin sensitive” by harnessing the power of LOW insulin.

This is a complete paradigm shift.

And this is groundbreaking because it means that T2D is not just preventable, but REPAIRABLE. 

So instead of treating Type 2 Diabetes with stronger & stronger medications at the expense of your HEALTH for the rest of your life…

You can simply reap the rewards of LOW insulin and reverse diabetes naturally.

It’s too bad Western Medicine ISN’T using insulin to its advantage because if they were, they’d be getting results like my clients:

  • Blood sugar readings in the healthy, non-diabetic range…
  • A1C results under 6.5 (or better yet, 5.7!)…
  • Reversal of most diabetes symptoms…
  • Helping people get safely OFF medications…
  • Remission from T2D after years (or decades!) of suffering…

Not a single pill or injection on the market can do this for you… 

But don’t underestimate what your body can do.

So now I’m curious:

Are you using insulin to your advantage? Or did you fall prey to Western Medicine’s short-sighted attempt of “treating” T2D?

High Morning (Fasting) Blood Sugar?

Mallory NowakLeave a Comment on High Morning (Fasting) Blood Sugar?

It must be frustrating to wake up with HIGH blood sugar when you haven’t eaten for 8+ hours…

So let me share why this happens and why I think you should stop freaking out about it.

Let’s talk about Dawn Phenomenon. ✨

Dawn Phenomenon is a term to describe high blood sugar in the mornings, particularly in people with Type 2 Diabetes.

But this number isn’t driven by FOOD—it’s driven by HORMONES.

In other words, your morning blood sugar is NOT an accurate reflection of last night’s dinner. Rather, it’s driven by a notorious little hormone called C O R T I S O L .

You see, part of cortisol’s job is to raise our blood sugar for quick bursts of energy—it’s like jet fuel compared to caffeine!

And it just so happens that cortisol peaks in the morning, causing a rise in blood sugar completely unrelated to food. ☀️

Oftentimes, a person’s morning blood sugar is the highest of their ENTIRE DAY.

The difference between someone who experiences Dawn Phenomenon and someone who doesn’t is a little problem called “insulin resistance”.

Insulin resistance makes it damn-near impossible to keep your numbers down.

The takeaway?

High fasting blood sugar doesn’t necessarily mean you ate something “bad” the night before.

Again, this is driven by CORTISOL—not food.

A high morning number just means you’re dealing with some level of insulin resistance.

The good news? You can repair insulin resistance—and when you do, your fasting blood sugar, A1C & all those pesky symptoms will follow suit. Simple as that. 👌🏽

For now, take your fasting blood sugar with a grain of salt (figuratively). 😉
