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.
