Please correct me accordingly, but my understanding is as follows:
Body becomes desensitized to insulin. Body becomes fatigued and reduces production of insulin. Artificial insulin is now provided. This causes the body to further shutdown insulin production. Root cause remains body inability to use the insulin, not the lack of production. It's a cause vs effect type situation.
In effect, they lose body weight and completely change diet, this would only help those people because at this point, and only this point, does the root issue change (sensitivity to insulin). The common problem, AFAIK, is that once people effect a change their body has effectively shutdown insulin production. Which still requires external insulin, just lower doses. Accordingly, this product, after they've changed their life, seemingly would reset the body's production allowing them to return to a normal life. But to get there, they still require life changes which few are willing to do.
That's type 2 diabetes. Type 1 is when people are born without insulin producing cells.
Good correction. Thanks. I thought they were born with cells which suffered naturally low sensitivity.
That was the short version.
Type 2 is when the fat cells are not able to reduce the sugar levels fast enough (most likely because there is just too much sugar in the blood) and the insulin producing cells try to compensate that by producing even more insulin and this happens so often that they wear out.
Type 1 is everything else: There are people born with broken insulin producing cells, others kill them by their own immune system, virus infections can break them too and so on.
