it's certainly the case that someone can be an insulin resistant and then can go on a diet that restricts carbohydrate to achieve greater insulin sensitivity and can wind up with more insulin signaling than they had before
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
it is but it is also true that if you take anyone with a given level of insulin resistance and you feed them carbohydrate you may need a more insulin and given the state of the current state of resistance or sensitivity of their cells they're gonna have more insulin signaling because of that
