It turns out, as shown by Karsenty and others who have since embarked on the line of research, that the reverse is also largely true: loss of bone density and degradation of the health of the bones also causes aging, diabetes, and, for males, loss of fertility and sexual function. We just cannot isolate any causal relationship in a complex system.

Insulin creates insulin resistance. But insulin resistance also causes high insulin – a classic vicious, or self-reinforcing, cycle. Insulin drives up insulin resistance.

There have been more than 74 RCTs, virtually all on Western populations, including at least 32 that lasted six months or longer, and three that lasted two years. (RCTs are considered the gold standard when it comes to judging whether there are any adverse side effects.) These trials have all established the efficacy of the low-carb diet for fighting obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Some official bodies are now in fact taking notice of the risks of low-fat diets

At its very core, T2DM can be understood as too much glucose and too much insulin. The solution becomes immediately obvious. We must lower the insulin and lower the glucose. The sugar is not just in the blood. That's only part of the problem. There's too much sugar in our entire body.
