SHR # 2726:: Exogenous Ketones and Insulin Resistance - Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, Ph.D. - The number 1 killer of Americans is Type 2 Diabetes. Heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, high blood pressure, dementia and many more are just the results of Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin resistance is the cause of Type 2 Diabetes. When you love with elevated insulin for a long period of time you develop Type 2 Diabetes. Low to moderate levels of ketones seem to have the ability to suppress insulin response. Would exogenous ketone supplements have the ability to rescue someone from developing full-on Type 2 Diabetes? Can they also be used to help reverse Type 2 Diabetes? And if so, how should they be used?
