It is indeed type 3 diabetes. We are dealing with a few problems at once that modern day humans are very naive to. The first one is that we no longer do physical labor to burn the glucose we ingest, the second one is that todays glucose levels get 100 times higher than they did 100 years ago with out the fiber and they convert within seconds. I have studied nutrition inside out for over 25 years and can tell you that our healthcare will never be able to handle what is coming down the pipeline in 15 years.
Right, I agree for sugars and other carbs in general. Even with intensive physical activity (gym memberships, etc) eating diets of almost pure carbs is just too much. Only a return to whole, traditional foods can avert what is coming.
But like you, I suspect it is too late for most of the civilized world. USA will feel it first, but EUrope and the rest of the world won't be far behind. Even those parts of the Third World that has taken on carb diets are developing what used to be called diseases of civilization, but what now is more meaningfully called metabolic syndrome.
But so many people are addicted to carbs, and too few are willing to make the effort. Probably because their carb diet makes them depressed and hopeless. Doesn't help that governments keep telling them the same old lies.
I gave my pancreas a rest , 3 years ago, and the only carbs I ingest now, are from vegetables - (occasionally fresh bread when I'm weak ! lol)
The health benefits, and all round 'well being' of feeling cant be overstated.
