Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are caused by a drop in insulin sensitivity blamed on “intramyocellular lipid,” the buildup of fat inside our muscle cells.



Reversing Diabetes with Surgery

When type 2 diabetes is reversed after gastric bypass surgery, is it due to the actual operation or just the severely restrictive diet required for recovery?



What Causes Diabetes?

Saturated fat can be toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, explaining why animal fat consumption can impair insulin secretion, not just insulin sensitivity.



Lipotoxicity: How Saturated Fat Raises Blood Sugar

The reason those eating plant-based diets have less fat buildup in their muscle cells and less insulin resistance may be because saturated fats appear to impair blood sugar control the most.
