What if the key to improving type 2 diabetes isn't cutting carbohydrates—but giving your pancreas the conditions it needs to work more effectively?
In this episode, Robby Barbaro explains what's happening inside your pancreas, muscles, and liver when insulin resistance develops—and breaks down three practical shifts designed to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the burden on your beta cells.
You'll also hear the remarkable story of Susan, who started with an A1C of 8.1 and, after six months of applying the Mastering Diabetes Method, reduced it to 4.9 while losing 29 pounds.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why type 2 diabetes is fundamentally connected to insulin resistance—not simply high blood sugar
- How excess fat inside muscle and liver cells can interfere with insulin signaling
- Why lowering dietary fat can improve your body's ability to process carbohydrate-rich whole foods
- Which fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and starches can form the foundation of an insulin-sensitizing diet
- Why foods like potatoes, beans, rice, oats, and fruit don't need to be feared
- How intermittent fasting may help reduce stored fat inside the liver and muscles
- Why the dawn phenomenon can cause elevated fasting blood sugar even when you haven't eaten
- How a 16:8 eating schedule can be used to support insulin sensitivity
- Why eating earlier in the day may be more beneficial than eating late at night
- How contracting muscles can take up glucose through an insulin-independent pathway
- Why a simple 10–15 minute walk after meals can make a meaningful difference
- How dietary changes, fasting, and movement work together to reduce the workload placed on your pancreas
- How Susan reduced her A1C from 8.1 to 4.9
- How Lenny reduced her A1C from 6.4 to 5.3 while losing 96 pounds
The goal isn't to fear carbohydrates or spend the rest of your life trying to manage blood sugar spikes.
It's to improve the underlying insulin resistance so your body becomes better at processing carbohydrate-rich whole foods.
By reducing dietary fat, creating periods of negative energy balance, and consistently activating your muscles, you can create an environment that supports greater insulin sensitivity and healthier glucose metabolism.
If you're struggling with elevated A1C, high fasting glucose, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes, this episode will help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface—and the lifestyle strategies you can start using to address it.
Keep your carbs high and your A1C low.
