This breaks down what really happens in the body when it comes to diabetes and why so many common beliefs about sugar, calories, and insulin might be leading us in the wrong direction. It explains how constantly eating high-sugar foods can cause the body to stop responding to insulin, which plays a big role in the development of Type 2 diabetes.

It also shares how switching to a low-glycemic diet like keto, paleo, or even a balanced vegetarian plan can help the body reset and start using fat for energy instead of sugar. Over time, this can help lower blood sugar levels and improve how the body functions overall.
