Beyond Rice: Unpacking the Real Culprit in Indian Diabetes - Insulin Resistance

• Many diabetic patients wrongly blame rice for high blood sugar, quitting it without medical advice, yet their health markers don't improve.
• Dr. Gagandeep Singh states that insulin resistance, not rice, is the root cause of diabetes, emphasizing that removing one food won't fix it.
• India faces a macronutrient imbalance problem, with typical meals being carbohydrate-dominant; balancing protein, fiber, and carbs is crucial.
• Nutritional recomposition (25-30g protein/meal, adequate fiber, controlled carbs) and consistent resistance training are key to reversing insulin resistance.
• Optimizing sleep and managing chronic stress further accelerate metabolic recovery, acting as amplifiers to existing dysfunction.
