Belly Fat Linked to Type-2 Diabetes

healthdoc asked:
90% of type-2 diabetes cases develop after significant fat is gained in the omentum located in the abdomen. This creates insulin resistance effectively ‘gumming-up’ pores in body cells preventing sugar from being absorbed from the blood. As blood sugars rise the pancreas works harder by making more insulin. Years of stress and overwork causes the pancreas to fail prematurely leading to insulin fatigue and diabetes.

yes the omentul only not the belly fat outside the abdominal muscles,that is different
@LeftLiberalSoCal mmmmmmmmmm
Most likely, he knows that his little lecture will do no good.
Yep, I defintely have metabolic syndrome, Let myself go a bit. I Stopped all junk and am exercising, scale does not want to budge. Even 5 years ago, if I would have done the same thing, pounds would have dropped quickly. Thick abdominal fat, high BP, high LDL, low HDL, prediabetic fasting glucose levels if I start eating too many carbs, just to name a few of the symptoms I have. No ones fault but my own. Carbs are very problematic for me, eat too many and I get constant painful hunger. Cheers!
I’ve heard people tell me they have diabetes like it was somthing beyond any control in which they were soemhow “afflicated” with. Surely it couldn’t be they were ALL fat. And I suspect lazy with a poor diet. I’m sure that probably had nothing to do with it.
Because doctors make boatloads of money selling unneeded drugs and procedures. I know, I had a grandfather–a WWII veteran–die of diabetes. It is a horrible disease and they did nothing but prescribe pills and procedures to him, never once telling him to lose weight.
You’re not proving that ab fat CAUSES insulin resistance. You’re just observing that a lot of people have both at the same time. Do some slim persons with hardly any ab fat also have diabetes? Could it be that ab fat and diabetes are BOTH symptoms of too much carb? Please prove your point. I’m not trying to debate. I’m here to learn. And thanks for the video.
Thanks for making this video. I wonder why our doctor doesn’t stress lossing weight to get rid of this disease for my dad who have diabetes for over 10 years?
thank you so much!!!!
Yes, abdominal fat in particular is linked to insulin resistance. It’s this resistance to the action of insulin that forces your pancreas to work harder to normalize sugar in the blood. An overworked pancreas leads to insulin fatigue. At this point not only has insulin lost its effectiveness, but the body is making less insulin. This is the primary course that leads to type-2 diabetes.
so ur saying that fat around the middle really causes type 2 diabetes?
Posterior pituitary gland supplementation will also reduce blood sugar values in type 2 diabetics. A deficient posterior pituitary gland is the cause of the belly fat. This is a classic sign. Unfortunately posterior pituitary is seldom used in medicine. I have taken it for almost 40 years.
One of the classic signs of posterior pituitary gland deficiency is a pot belly. All type 2 diabetics have some degree of posterior pituitary gland deficiency.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to help clarify the issue. Learn more about avoiding diabetes and reducing the risks associated with uncontrolled diabetes at my website.
Thanks for the simplicity of this complex info! This is the first I’ve heard of “Insulin Fatigue” but it all makes sense now… Well at least- more sense than it did 5 minutes ago. Thanks!
