Belly Fat Linked To Type-2 Diabetes

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.

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?

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!
