Type 2 diabetes can be reversed with severe calorie restriction—whether by surgery or starvation—but can also be reversed by simply eating healthier. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ Type 2 diabetes can be reversed with an extremely low calorie diet (see my last video: Reversing Diabetes with Surgery http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reversing-diabetes-with-surgery). And as this video shows, type 2 diabetes can be reversed with an extremely healthy diet, but is that because it was also low in calories? That’s the million dollar (death?) question that I answer in my next video: Diabetes Reversal: Is it the Calories or the Food? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetes-reversal-is-it-the-calories-or-the-food). Hold onto your hats, it’s going to be quite a doozy! I’ve touched before at the ability of healthy diets to both prevent (Plant-Based Diets and Diabetes http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Plant-Based-Diets-and-Diabetes) and treat (Plant-Based Diets for Diabetes http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-for-diabetes) type 2 diabetes. It’s so exciting to be plugging in the final puzzle pieces. What about the benefits of blood sugar medications and more moderate diets? When Drugs & Diets Don't Lower Diabetes Deaths (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/when-drugs-and-diets-dont-lower-diabetes-deaths). Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reversing-diabetes-with-food and he'll try to answer it!

Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are caused by a drop in insulin sensitivity blamed on “intramyocellular lipid,” the buildup of fat inside our muscle cells. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ If this video sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a redux of a video that I put out last year. But, it lacked this fancy new animation, courtesy of Scientific Animations: www.scientificanimations.com. They contacted me, and graciously offered to donate an animation to us—I love it! If there is anyone else out there who would like to kindly offer their services to help us better help others, we’d love to see it. This was the first of a three-part video series on the cause of type 2 diabetes, so as to better understand dietary interventions to prevent and treat the epidemic. The follow-up videos are The Spillover Effect Links Obesity to Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-spillover-effect-links-obesity-to-diabetes), in which I talk about how that fat can come either from our diet or excess fat stores; and Lipotoxicity: How Saturated Fat Raises Blood Sugar (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lipotoxicity-how-saturated-fat-raises-blood-sugar), where I show how not all fats are equally to blame. I mentioned low-carb diets in the video. For more on their potential health effects, see videos like Low-Carb Diets and Coronary Blood Flow (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/low-carb-diets-and-coronary-blood-flow).

The “twin vicious cycles” explain how the build-up of fat in the cells of our muscles, liver, and pancreas causes type 2 diabetes, which explains why dietary recommendations for diabetics encourage a reduction in fat intake. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ This is part of an extended series on Type 2 diabetes that will continue for months. I’d put them all back-to-back, but then it would be diabetes all day every day for weeks. If you really want to understand this process, I suggest watching the three “prequel” videos: • What Causes Insulin Resistance? (http://nutritionfacts.org/what-causes-insulin-resistance) • The Spillover Effect Links Obesity to Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-spillover-effect-links-obesity-to-diabetes) • Lipotoxicity: How Saturated Fat Raises Blood Sugar (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lipotoxicity-how-saturated-fat-raises-blood-sugar) The reason I’m going into all this detail is that I’m hoping to empower both those suffering from the disease and those treating sufferers so as to better understand dietary interventions to prevent and treat the epidemic. Maybe one day I’ll record hour-long disease-specific lectures that put it all together for those who’d want to watch it all straight through. In the meanwhile here some videos on prevention: • Lifestyle Medicine Is the Standard of Care for Prediabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lifestyle-medicine-is-the-standard-of-care-for-prediabetes/) • How to Prevent Prediabetes in Children (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-prediabetes-in-children) • Preventing Prediabetes By Eating More (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-prediabetes-by-eating-more/) • How to Prevent Prediabetes from Turning into Diabetes (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-prediabetes-from-turning-into-diabetes) • Eggs and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-and-diabetes/) • Fish and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-and-diabetes/) And here’s some on treatment: • Plant-Based Diets and Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Plant-Based-Diets-and-Diabetes) • Diabetics Should Take Their Pulses (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetics-should-take-their-pulses/) • Amla versus Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/) • Flaxseed vs. Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseed-vs-diabetes/) Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video?

Being obese may result in as much insulin resistance as eating a high-fat diet. New subscribers to our e-newsletter always receive a free gift. Get yours here: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ What does “gum up the insulin receptor pathway” mean? See the prequel video: What Causes Insulin Resistance? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/What-Causes-Insulin-Resistance And the sequel, Lipotoxicity: How Saturated Fat Raises Blood Sugar (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lipotoxicity-how-saturated-fat-raises-blood-sugar), goes into the types of fat and their effects. The fat leaking into our bloodstream may also contain fat-soluble pollutants that accumulated from our diet: Pollutants in Salmon and Our Own Fat (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/pollutants-in-salmon-and-our-own-fat). The spillover effect may also help explain the increased heart disease risk associated with obesity: Low Carb Diets and Coronary Blood Flow (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/low-carb-diets-and-coronary-blood-flow/).
