When you’re insulin levels are chronically elevated you’re on the fast track to type 2 diabetes. In this video I explain Type 2 diabetes and diet, particularly how eating a low carb diet can prevent and protect you against developing type 2 diabetes.
Maintaining a healthy diet is important for everyone, but it is especially important for people with diabetes. A type 2 diabetes diet and following the right meal plan can make all the difference to a person struggling to keep their blood sugar under control.

Happy viewing.

Hi Hayden,
I am both concerned and curious as to where the basis for your explanation of type two diabetes comes from?
The reduction in insulin sensitivity associated with type 2 diabetes is well recognised as stemming from an environment of increased fatty acid and triglyceride levels, often (although not always) associated with obesity. There is no evidence to suggest that the sustained secretion of insulin due to a high carbohydrate diet in the absence of the afore mentioned factors is a reason for a decrease in insulin sensitivity. Given your presentation as clinical health professional, I feel it is important that you have some clinical evidence to substantiate this explanation.
Hi Peter,
My explaination for the basis of type two diabetes here is very basic as most of the visitors have only a limited understanding of how the body works. As i can see from your comment you have a more advanced knowledge of this topic. It is true as you state that reduced insulin sensitivity stems from increased fatty acid and triglyceride levels. It is my experience that these levels are elevated from chronic, excessive carbohydrate consumption. I have had many patients present with ‘fatty liver’ but no history of alcohol abuse as is the classic cause. However on questioning their diet is carbohydrate loaded. Once these people are placed on a low carbohydrate diet the condition disappears. I’ve seen the same happen with type two diabetes patients as well. All experience reductions in their BSLs and need for insulin and insulin sensitising medications. While type two diabetes is a complex problem i have found that reducing carbohydrate intake to be the simplest and most effective means for improving insulin sensitivity. I’m more than happy to dicuss this further if you wish.
Regards,
Hayden
I just want to say that I have presented to Hayden with insulin resistance and I am following his programme and after not even a whole week I feel so much better, I feel like my old self again, I have energy, enthusiasm, I’m not tired when I get up in the morning, I’m sleeping better, I’m not tired all day at work like I was before and I’m also not constantly craving sugar anymore when before I used to basically survive on sugar and starchy carbohydrates and this is only my 6th day but I already know that Hayden’s weight loss programme is changing my life for the better and for the first time, I finally feel hopeful that I will reach my goal weight and stay there for life. I have been on every diet there is prior to this and none of them ever worked for me or I would do them for 2 or 3 days and lose interest or be too hungry or just find it too difficult, the way I am eating now is simple, I’m not hungry all the time, I think my blood sugar levels are finally stabilising, my moods are better and I’m not as cranky as I was – the way I feel now is already 100% improvement on the way I was feeling last week – for instance, I was able to come home last night after putting in a full day at work and travelling to the City and back and do my household chores as well and even vacuum before, I would have just come home, eaten my dinner, sat on the lounge and complained about my day, watched 4 hours of television, passed out on the lounge and then gone to bed and had a poor night’s sleep and wake up and do it all again. I’m actually contemplating going for a nice long walk when I get up tomorrow and I am confident of turning around my insulin resistance and attaining my goal weight. Thank you Hayden.
