Voltaire,

Reaven's work is superb, and the fact is, insulin resistance is linked to a host of degenerative diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer. Work at Rockefeller University (I interviewed the fellow personally) show that insulin spikes are linked to the stress response (cortisol is the stress hormone) and that it can derail that response or visa versa (stress increases insulin response) and you get curves that look very much like the curves of Alzheimer's. Stress/aging/insulin resistance are all linked. You can't just avoid insulin resistance by a pill. You have to get sugar out of your diet. People go around eating low fat diets but therefore incrasing their simple carbohydrates (snackwells etc) because they're hungry and they're screwing themselves up. Instead they should have high amounts of satisfying healthy fats such as those in fish, or in healthy oils like olive oil or flaxseed oil, and get away from too much saturated or fake fats (margarine) and completely reduce sugar and simple carbs out of their diet. Triglycerides would go down, insulin curves would be steady, and much degenerative disease would be avoided.

It's more complex than that but that's a simple version anyway.
