This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Slow your horses there hombre. Type 2 diabetes is not a problem of insufficient insulin, most type 2 diabetes have more insulin in their blood then they ever had in their entire lives.

Insulin Resistance is indeed the problem, what is the primary driver of insulin resistance? Persistently elevated blood glucose levels. Insulin is a super hormone that touches every part of the body (literally), it also is used to acutely reduce blood sugar. People eating a carbohydrate heavy diet have high blood glucose and high insulin levels... all the time - this is what causes insulin resistance.
