Type 2 Diabetes is a result of the body's resistance to insulin, or the pancreas not working properly to produce enough insulin. It is believed to be caused by an over-accumulation of stored fat in the liver that "spills over" to the pancreas, making both organs function poorly. The ability to store fat is not the same for everyone, making managing Type 2 diabetes vary from person to person.

Research has shown that small, incremental daily changes to reduce carb intake and choose better carbs is critical to managing Type 2. Researchers are also finding that adding whey protein, and choosing healthy fats, fiber, and a blend of certain vitamins and minerals to the daily routine can help stabilize blood sugar and also curb cravings.

Fighting Type 2 has a both a physical and emotional benefit. The physiological impact of reducing the risk of many chronic diseases and conditions connected to Type 2 is well documented. We also believe there's a health benefit to the journey itself. Making progress, having a plan, taking control and achieving goals lead to a positive mood, and self-confidence that support good health.
