I know a few people with both types of diabetes and they are terrible at eating regular and healthy meals.
The ones that are overweight eat sugary crap in mast proportions and the other type skips meals and their blood sugar drops dangerously low.
So yeah, healthy eating does affect your insulin usage.
B12 is another factor in this and eating right doesn’t help me in terms of that issue.
I have got some really messed up DNA. Apparently MMA can accumulate in the B12 process and cause insulin resistance.
I had a Dr just throw metformin at the fasting glucose issue but it appears I only have a problem in the morning called dawn effect and the rest of the time I am okay.
I am confounded on how to solve a myriad of issues that are above the typical solutions.
I am shocked everyday at how much Drs don’t know that they should know..
If you are on metformin be sure to have your B12 checked
Mayo clinic has a great article on B12 from some European doctors.
If your B12 is below 400 but above 200 don’t let your Dr blow it off
