type 2

Most endocrinologists view DHT as an almost exclusively bad hormone. Aside from the its much publicized (and likely incorrect) role in prostate cancer and MPB, endocrinologists consider DHT as a causative agent in insulin resistance and even diabetes type II. Most of that misguided opinion...

In another recent thread, I posted about androsterone's potent thyromimetic effects. Given the ability of thyroid hormone to improve insulin sensitivity and even reverse diabetes type II, it would not be surprising that androsterone would also exhibit such effects. And indeed, androsterone...

This may be a long shot. I have a friend who recently started taking Victoza which is used to treat type 2 diabetes. I have been looking for studies and information on GLP-1 without much luck. From some of the reviews I have read from people, it seems to be positively received, but I believe...

I remember seeing from the forum that Ray Peat thinks the amount of selenium in commercial farmed seafood is low and it would be wise to supplement it in the diet. In one of his articles, he mentioned selenium along with other nutrients (K2, thiamine, niacinamide etc.,) to be good for...

It has long been known that taurine helps peope with pre-diabetes and diabetes type II. It is also accepted that taurine lowers cholesterol levels as well. The mechanism so far was not clear and some scientists speculated that taurine acts like insulin mimetic. However, this study shows that the...

The study was in diabetic patients (Type II) so probably does not apply to all healthy people. However, it is still pretty telling that skipping only breakfast has such a potent and long lasting (post- lunch and dinner) effect on insulin sensitivity. http://care.diabetesjournals.org/conten ...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3197792/ Key issues Experimentally induced hypokalemia has been associated with reduced insulin sensitivity and the development of impaired glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic clamp studies. Use of thiazide diuretics is associated with...

Ray has written about trials with niacinamide showing remission of even some type I diabetes cases. This study compared niacin to niacinamide for type II diabetes, and found niacinamide to be superior most likely due to stronger effect on mitochondrial biogenesis. Human dose equivalent would be...

Not sure if this ties with Ray's true causes of diabetes type 2 ( he doesn't see the pancreas as a culprit) but it does add to the already known qualities of coffee. From Sepp Hasselberger's blog http://www.scoop.it/t/health-supreme?page=44
