Look Good Feel Great Always

Keep getting the same infection — thrush, a UTI, a cut that won’t heal? It’s not bad luck; your blood sugar is in the way. High sugar is food for bacteria and yeast, so infections keep returning — and it slows your immune cells, so they can’t clear them. It also narrows the tiny vessels that bring healing to a wound and dulls the nerves that warn you of injury, so a small cut drags on for weeks. Your body isn’t broken — it’s trying to fight and heal with sugar clogging the system. Get infections and wounds properly treated (that matters), but also check your blood sugar and insulin, because that’s why it keeps happening. Bring the insulin resistance down and your immune system gets its speed back. Recurring infections are often the first sign the sugar underneath has been high too long.

Cook rice, chill it overnight, reheat it — and it lowers your blood sugar? Half true, and the half they skip matters. The true half: chilling cooked rice forms some ‘resistant starch’ that digests slower, so it raises your sugar a little less than fresh hot rice. The half they leave out: only a small slice actually converts, reheating undoes part of it, and ‘a bit less’ still isn’t low — if you’re insulin resistant, a smaller flood is still a flood. It’s the same low-GI trap as basmati ( #116): the friendlier number makes people pile the bowl higher, and portion still runs the show. Cool your rice if you like — but keep the portion small, eat protein and veg first, and stop building the meal around rice. Chang Tsai, 70, still eats rice — but by fixing the insulin resistance and keeping portions sensible (no fridge tricks), her HbA1c went from 13 to 5.8. The real issue was never hot vs cold rice — it’s the insulin resistance underneath.

Everyone’s switching to Mounjaro — here’s what it’s really doing. It copies two of your gut’s own hormones (GIP + GLP-1) at once: slows your stomach, quiets appetite, prompts insulin when your sugar is high, calms your liver. People eat less, lose real weight and their sugar drops — that part is genuine. But here’s the part the ads skip: it works while you’re ON it and doesn’t fix the insulin resistance underneath, so many people regain when they stop. And fast weight loss can strip MUSCLE — the very place you clear most of your sugar — which can leave you more insulin resistant than before. If you use it, protect your muscle (protein + resistance training) and fix the root while you have the window, so stepping off it (with your doctor) doesn’t bounce you back. It’s a bridge, not the whole plan. Not medical advice — never start or stop on your own.

Thinking of stopping Ozempic or Mounjaro? Here’s what usually happens next. These injections work while you take them — they quiet your appetite and help you handle sugar, but they don’t fix the insulin resistance underneath. So when you stop, your hunger comes back and for many people the weight and sugar return too. Unless you use that time: while the injection quiets your appetite, bring the insulin resistance down and protect your muscle, so your own body keeps your sugar down without the drug. Then when you and your doctor decide to stop, it doesn’t all come back. Christopher, 64, was on Rybelsus — the tablet form of the same medicine as Ozempic — and came off it when he started with me, then fixed the root: HbA1c 8.9→6.3, fasting sugar 11.7→6.2, with no drug propping it up. Never stop your medicine on your own — your doctor decides; my job is to fix the root so there’s something solid to step down to.

Ever wonder why you keep adding pills but never get better? Every diabetes drug does one of just three things: (1) put more insulin into you — force your pancreas (Diamicron, glipizide) or inject it; (2) get rid of the sugar — Jardiance flushes it out in your urine, Metformin tells your liver to make less; or (3) make you eat less — Ozempic and Mounjaro quiet your appetite. Look at all three and notice what’s missing — none of them touch WHY your sugar is high: insulin resistance, your body no longer listening to its own insulin. The drugs push the number down (useful, and they keep you safe), but the root keeps getting worse, so the number creeps back and the next pill gets added. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed — but go after the fire too. When Akbal, 66, fixed the root, his HbA1c fell 8.0→6.8 and his doctor took him off one of his diabetes drugs. Individual results; I never touch your medication — your doctor decides.

You followed the same diabetes diet that worked for someone else — and your sugar won’t move. It’s not willpower; that plan was never built for your body. Two of my clients, same diagnosis: Gregory, 55, slim with hardly any weight to lose — his real problem was too little muscle (muscle is where you burn off sugar), so his plan was to BUILD muscle, not shrink. Frankie, 59, a hundred kilos, with fat packed around his organs pumping out insulin resistance — his job was to SHED that fat inside. Swap their plans and both get worse. Match the plan to the body and both get better: Gregory’s HbA1c 9.7→6.9; Frankie 100→89 kg and, with his doctor, 8 medications down to 3. A generic diabetes diet is built for an average person who doesn’t exist. Your muscle, your belly fat, your liver, your blood test results decide your plan — not your neighbour’s. Individual results; I never change your medication — your doctor decides.

Are you on two diabetes drugs at the same time? One very common pairing can quietly damage your pancreas. One pill pushes your pancreas to make more insulin (pills like Diamicron or glipizide); the other flushes sugar out through your urine (pills like Jardiance or Forxiga). Whatever the brand, if one of your pills revs up your pancreas and another clears sugar through your urine, this is you. Your sugar number looks better — but neither fixes why it’s high, and together there are two hidden dangers. Danger 1: year after year, Diamicron keeps pushing a tired pancreas until the cells give out (doctors call it ‘secondary failure’). Danger 2: Jardiance clears sugar through your urine, so if you suddenly cut your carbs right down at the same time, it can cause a serious emergency called ketoacidosis — even when your sugar looks normal. The safe way forward is to bring the insulin resistance down, so your doctor can safely lower the pills. That’s what Sanny, 56, did — on this exact pair, she came off both with her doctor: HbA1c 8.4→6.7, down about 7 kg, and she gained muscle. I never touch your medication — your doctor decides. Don’t change your pills or cut your carbs on your own; get it managed properly.

You cut the carbs at dinner — but you still wake up with high blood sugar. That’s not your dinner; it’s your liver. Your liver is your blood-sugar thermostat, but when it gets clogged with fat — a fatty liver — it turns insulin resistant and leaks glucose into your blood all night, so you wake up high even though you ate nothing. How does it get fatty? Not from fatty food — from sugar and refined carbs, which your liver turns straight into fat. The honest part: that fat is stubborn and comes down slowly — but your liver’s FUNCTION improves faster, so your morning blood sugar comes down long before the fat clears. That’s your first sign it’s working.

Your diabetes medication keeps going up — but for type 2, the problem was never too little insulin. You’re making plenty, sometimes too much; your body has just stopped listening to it. Two different things get mixed up: how much insulin your pancreas MAKES (production) versus how well your cells RESPOND to it (resistance). Type 2 is a listening problem — which is why adding more insulin just shouts louder and the doses keep climbing. The real work is getting your cells to respond to the insulin you already make. Willie proved it: 30 years diabetic, insulin up to 18 units a day — and once his cells started responding, he came off it completely.

You can be fit and still be diabetic. Franklin was 57, lean and muscular — body fat under 19%, metabolic age 32 — and still pre-diabetic. Because insulin resistance isn’t about how you look; it’s about how your cells handle sugar, and a lean body hides it. The number that revealed it was his triglyceride-to-HDL ratio: 2.5, deep in insulin-resistant territory. We corrected the resistance underneath — in under three months his ratio fell to 1.4, his triglycerides dropped 37%, and his body fat came down from 19 to 16%. Check yours: under 0.7 (mmol/L) or under 1.5 (mg/dL) is healthy.
