Type 2 Diabetes

Information from the Barbara O'neil chat, from people who attended her conference Dr Sarah myhill is another Dr who talks about Diabetes and diet I

https://www.instagram.com/drmyhill?igsh=MTJsam5ia212M3AwMg==Dr Sarah Myhill has written quite a lot about diabetes. In fact, she co-authored a book specifically on it called Prevent and Cure Diabetes.

Her main ideas about diabetes

In her writing and talks, she generally argues that diabetes—especially type 2—is mainly driven by modern diet and lifestyle.

Key points she often makes include:

1. Diet is the main cause and treatment

She believes modern Western diets (high sugar, refined carbs, processed foods) drive metabolic syndrome, which leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

2. Type 2 diabetes can often be reversed

Her approach focuses on:

• Reducing carbohydrates and sugar

• Eating whole foods

• Increasing healthy fats and fibre

• Stabilising blood sugar with diet and lifestyle

She argues that addressing the root causes can sometimes prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes rather than relying mainly on medication.

3. Metabolic flexibility (burning fat rather than carbs)

She suggests the body should be able to burn fat efficiently for energy, which she thinks helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.

4. Other factors she discusses

Her work also mentions possible contributors such as:

• Environmental toxins
