More than 80% of people with prediabetes don’t know it, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That’s pretty scary, considering that an estimated 37 million Americans have diabetes and 96 million have prediabetes (which is about 1/3 of the nation).

A new study published October 26, 2022 in the JAMA Network Open showed evidence that a low-carb diet “may” prevent type 2 diabetes.

As far as the Code Red Lifestyle™ is concerned, this is old news.

Code Red Rebels with Type 2 diabetes, who correctly and consistently follow the program, consistently report being able reduce, and with enough time, eliminate, their diabetes medication (under their doctor’s supervision), because their body no longer needs it.

Code Red is a low-carb way of eating. We do eat some carbs, in the form of vegetables and a handful of berries.

The rest of our calories and nutrients come from meat, nuts, eggs, seeds, seafood, and dietary fat.

While food isn’t the only thing that raises blood sugar–stress and lack of sleep, for example, also lead to higher blood sugar–it’s by far the biggest factor in your body’s ability to manage your blood sugar without exogenous insulin.

When you live a life where you’re stressed, not sleeping well, and constantly eating foods that require boatloads of insulin to digest, your pancreas, which secrets insulin whenever you eat or drink something with calories and/or nutrients, eventually cannot keep up.

It takes more and more insulin to bring your blood sugar back down, and when your pancreas starts to struggle, you’re prediabetic.

If things continue down that path, a type 2 diabetes diagnosis and exogenous insulin are in your future.

With a healthy low-carb way of eating, like Code Red, you eliminate foods that require high amounts of insulin to bring your blood sugar down after you eat.

This gives your pancreas time to recover and start keeping up again, since it doesn’t have to release gobs of insulin to digest all the sugar, grains, and starch you’re no longer eating.

Remember that insulin’s a perfectly normal hormone. We need insulin to safely digest the food we eat.

What’s not normal is for our body to struggle to produce enough insulin to keep up with our dietary demands.

If that’s happening, it either means you were born with type 1 diabetes, and your body’s ability to produce insulin didn’t work right from the start; or it means you’ve spent too many years eating too many things that require too much insulin for your pancreas to be able to keep up anymore.

A low-carb way of eating, like Code Red, can give your pancreas the break it needs, because you’re eating foods that don’t spike your blood sugar as high, so your pancreas doesn’t need to release as much insulin to bring it back down.

You could say that eating how we eat on Code Red reduces your pancreas’ workload.

If you’re prediabetic, or already a type 2 diabetic, consider the Code Red Lifestyle™. Prediabetics and type 2 diabetics enjoy a lot of success on Code Red – not only with weight loss, but with eating in a way that may, in time, reduce (or eliminate) your need for exogenous insulin if you’re type 2 diabetic; and prevent type 2 diabetes if you’re prediabetic!
