Diabetics, Does Anything Really Lower Your Insulin Resistance?

Not Over Come It Right Now, Lower it

"Based on the research and information I have on October 06 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright © 2006

I say that is a misstatement or misrepresentation, or baloney.  These quoted things make resistance temporarily of less consequence, but actually all it is, the thing or substance forces your cells to accept blood sugar, right now, despite insulin resistance, not because it lowered it.

My view is that this is NOT really lowering insulin resistance, it is just overcoming and making cells accept blood sugar, soon as it is gone, your insulin resistance is still the same.

Your insulin resistance has not been lowered one smidge, period, in fact I can not find and never have found one thing that actually lowers insulin resistance (85 books later) so if you kept doing or using whatever it was that supposedly was lowering your insulin resistance you would eventually have much lowered or no longer have insulin resistance, nor would you still have diabetes.

Diabetes defined simply is accumulated insulin resistance build up, once high it never gets lower, you can only do things to keep your blood sugar and insulin from going too high (diet restriction, exercise, and substances) because of the resistance built up to high level and you take substances that make cells accept blood sugar temporarily but you can not lower the permanent insulin resistance level.

When you actually find what will lower or undo fixed insulin resistance (cell membrane barrier) you have found the cure to undo diabetes, call me immediately.

No, I have not found it, or anything that comes even close to actually lowering insulin resistance. Am I wrong about this? Is there actually something that really will lower my insulin resistance and I missed it?

When they say something lowers insulin resistance, I say it does not, it merely forces and the word here is forces it past the established resistance, makes cells glucose accepting while it is there.

So all statements saying lowers insulin resistance are technically incorrect and misstatements of what is happening.

Is that not right? I am getting upset about all this "lowers insulin resistance".....guotes....

Others send me other things that they say it says right there "lowers insulin resistance". Isn't that wonderful it lowers insulin resistance.  I say malarkey, it does no such thing. Insulin resistance, to control resulting high blood sugar, requires your body to produce high insulin levels, which causes, all the things that kill you.

It is not the actual high blood sugar, statistically it is the resulting high insulin level to control the high blood sugar, is the real hazard.

I have a score of 20 insulin level, which is way high ( top of acceptable range according to Gov. sites), (one book says over 15 does damage)
Even though my blood sugar, like today was 96 and you have to have 125 or better to be a diabetic, that low figure is because of diet though, and chocolate, and a little exercise. Eat like others and I am off the chart.

Not one diabetic in a hundred even knows what his insulin level is, (my guess) and the doctor is not even interested in knowing my score, when I insist on knowing my insulin level.

Yet this is what does the damage that is going to kill me. (statistically most likely)

Sure, controlling my blood sugar LOWERS complication damage, going blind etc, from high blood sugar (does not stop, only slows) but the odds are the damage that will do me in comes from the HIGH INSULIN levels that I have DESPITE the lowered to normal blood sugar levels.

It infuriates me that the medical people only pay attention to the popular "in" thing". (blood sugar levels)

Like you are only paying for a 15 minute diabetic visit, the doctor saying in effect, " "I do not have time to go into anything more complicated, you do not even understand controlling your blood sugar."

Meantime the fatality rate goes off the charts, from this side effect.  If you have high blood sugar you have high insulin and even though your blood sugar level is under control you may still have HIGH insulin.

High insulin, is the damage doing killer, and I have all ready done articles on that. (two issues back) I have been calling it to your attention.

No, I have not figured out how to get my insulin level down, (or yours) but believe me I am researching it, (life and death issue) and I will let you know just as soon as I solve it.

P.S. The misunderstanding here it has been pointed out, is choice of words.. If they said this substance "Over comes", .insulin resistance, that is correct. To say it "Lowers" insulin resistance is incorrect.

It forces glucose past resistance right now but the insulin resistance is still the same level it always was.

ABOUT EXERCISE:
They argue with me that exercise lowers insulin resistance. My conclusion is it does not. It makes a large sugar dump...place for your blood sugar to go... in my opinion when you change flab to muscle. Muscle absorbs blood sugar resting or active. Flab does not. So you say exercise lowers your insulin resistance when you exercise, develop strength training etc and change those cells to muscle. My argument is the insulin resistance stayed the same, you regained muscle that absorbs sugar as a normal situation but your basic body insulin resistance (cell membrane blockage to accepting sugar) has not been undone.

Let us say you break a leg as a non diabetic and for 8 weeks no exercise. You do not have insulin resistance rise as a result and make you a diabetic with high blood sugar because you lost your muscle sugar absorber dump.

The same happens to a diabetic and he loses his muscle sugar absorber dump, his insulin resistance or lack of place to put sugar is the same and his higher blood sugar is back, because he lost his sugar dump. His insulin resistance never went away...his sugar dump (sugar absorber) did when he lost muscle.

Two things happen to an older diabetic, he accumulates insulin resistance that gets higher and higher requiring more and more insulin to overcome year by year.

Then at the very worse time he slows down and starts to lose muscle. This is the sugar peak absorber and when he loses muscle his sugar now piles up faster with no place to go.

My view is when you exercise and regain the sugar dump, great...but you never really changed the accumulating (getting worse all the time) insulin resistance.

My frustration is in all of my research I have not found one concrete thing despite all the rhetoric saying this or that lowers insulin resistance. Show me one thing that I can do that really permanently lowers my insulin resistance.

Overcome it, force sugar past it, temporarily, yes. Lower it or rid of it...nothing.

Nobody has said if I use strength training and develop and put on 20 pounds of pure muscle my high insulin requirement will go away. (do you know or heard of anyone that fixed it that way?)

Exercise, regain muscle that absorbs sugar peaks...great..

But my insulin level (I believe, not sure if correct) will still be double normal levels to force blood sugar acceptance because my 70 years of accumulated insulin resistance is still the exact same high.

Really now, tell me how to lower my accumulated insulin resistance for real and you have CURED my diabetes.

Call me...I want to know what I overlooked or missed here as soon as possible.
