I seem to have devlopped insultin resistance, how to reverse it ?

Been doing really really bad since months.. and no doctor here. (Check my other posts.)
I seem to begin to have insulin resistance. It's been more than a month now I think that I smell sweet. My urine, my sweat, my saliva all smells very sweet.. now been some days I crave for food I want to eat non stop...
Of course bedridden etc.. and detox pathways blocked...
Any idea how to reverse this ? Eating no carbs at all will help ?

I would be concerned about taking medication for insulin issues without knowing exactly what is going on with you and addressing causal issues. I hear you that there's no LLMD, but perhaps a standard-issue doctor could run basic tests and prescribe meds if necessary?

Dietary changes can be very helpful. (Exercise can help as well, but I understand that's not always possible for the chronically ill!) Limiting simple carbohydrates is important. There's a lot of information online about dietary guidelines for healthy blood sugar levels.

Sorry to hear you have another thing to worry about!

Is fasting possible for you? Even time restricted feeding, like perhaps a 16 hr fast with an 8 hr eating window each day, can help.

I agree with saraeli on this

there is more than one type of diabetes and the treatments are different - so you need to know which you have

in simple terms there is an autoimmune type - type 1 diabetes where your body's immune system attacks and kills the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas - then you lose the ability to produce your own insulin and get high blood sugar and life-threatening effects - this can be on and off and up and down in the initial phase.
the autoimmune trigger is often infection - eg Lyme and co-infections

then there is a second type called type 2 diabetes - that we are currently experiencing an epidemic of in the western world. It is a chronic condition typically caused by chronic adverse conditions in diet, lifestyle, and environment. in type 2 diabetes - too much insulin is secreted over the long term due to high carbohydrate intake, low exercise, and a number of other factors. the body's cells become tolerant of this long term high insulin level and do not respond to it anymore. the body then tries to ramp up insulin production further and a vicious cycle is initiated. in the end excessively high insulin levels lead to oxidative damage, circulation problems, liver problems, peripheral neuropathies, and lots of other nasty effects. but you can see the mechanisms are different.

many studies show type 2 diabetes which makes up 90% of cases - can be improved dramatically with diet and lifestyle changes.

functional medical doctors have been preaching this for years - but it's not really caught on for the mainstream as it's much much harder than taking a pill and carrying on with whatever else we were doing. Our societies are also built on consumption of the products that our economies produce and few people want to change that any time soon.

mainstream doctors and states are starting to catch on now though as the economics of chronic disease mean that sooner or later the working population will no longer be able to support the burden of those who are sick

My husband is a diabetic - but he was never overweight and is in good shape. Diagnosed about a year ago.
He now takes Metformin
