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.
This insulin resistance is not the same as diabetes, it's physiological but IR in the end.
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.
which is physiologic insulin resistance which happens in a low carbohydrate state which is a really interesting discussion and it's normal human physiology quote unquote normal and it gets often conflated with pathological insulin resistance which are completely different processes high insulin versus low insulin in those two states
i think i have a fasting blood sugar from when i was on carnivore they're usually high 90s or 100s because there is some physiologic insulin resistance which is different than pathologic insulin resistance that develops when we are on a ketogenic diet
which is physiologic insulin resistance which happens in a low carbohydrate state physiologic insulin resistance which happens in a low carbohydrate state
Physiologic insulin resistance related to to a low carb or ketogenic diet it's not the same insulin resistance you get from diabetes or I would say metabolic dysfunction but in some ways they have similarities meaning that the muscles the liver other tissues in the body will refuse to respond to the actions of insulin in both of those situations that's why we call it insulin resistance
