Diabetes type 2 is created by a heavy vitamin D3 deficiency, and doses between 125mcg/5,000 iu and 250mcg/10,000 iu a day will lower insulin resistance very quickly. D3 is made by sun exposure on the skin, 20 minutes in full sun with good skin exposure will give 10,000 ie naturally. A dietary supplement is necessary to correct the vitamin deficiency.
Weightloss and a proper 30% carb, 40%protien 30% good fats/cholesterols will bring it down to curing after fixing the D3 deficiency. Very good news, new, google it.
