>>10188 comment, I gotta ask- do you exercise at all? Do you have any medical knowledge?
I bring this up because I'm trying to draw a picture in my brain of what is happening and what can be done to prevent or "fix" this before you go into needing metformin and needing to stop. This will partially get into why Sumo wrestlers don't have as many problems, but right now you're dumping sugars into your bloodstream on the regular and you're cells are becoming resistant to them, which is the hallmark for type 2 diabetes (and is why DM2 likely cannot be "cured", since you're cells are just getting too used to having sugars/insulin hormones knocking on their doors at all hours). I take it you're diet is heavy in sugar and cheap carbs, right? Sumo's don't do that. Even eating massive bowls of rice is a material the body has to expend energy to break apart it's glycogen, and there's numerous methods like all carbs to do so, unlike the literal straight molecular sugars in something like a 2L of pop.
The other detail is that resistance- Sumos WORK. If you've ever watched a match- and you should, it's actually super impressive- they are ALL POWER, ALL AT ONCE. Being a sumo is grappling and tosses, trying to keep your balance centered and low, and needing to exert as much energy as possible for as long as possible within the ring because you're trying not to be forced out. A common Sumo workout involves such activation measures as bench pressing against solid walls for minutes at a time- as if you were pushing someone away- so that they train the body to activate as many muscle fibers as possible, for as long as possible. Because it's all grapples and quick movements, they train fast-twitch, meaning they do power cleans and other exercises like them. What's my point with this?
The body of a Sumo's physically CANNOT be resistant to insulin, because their cells internal storage- Glycogen- doesn't stay long and their energy needs are so high. This is the foundation behind High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Fasting, two regimens known for reducing the body's innate resistance to insulin- the former through periods of constant exercise broken up by bursts of said high-intensity intervals, the second (where you do it either once a week or once every two weeks, currently it seems the latter is best) you don't eat for 12-16 hours to force the body into a lean "fast" state that makes it use internal glycogen stowage and eventually consume available fats in catabolysis- thus, priming the body for food when it's consumed. They're both huge in training circles because they force the body to use fuel in the most advantageous ways, and the human body HATES doing that.
If I can offer any advice- as an anon here that's a paramedic, nursing student, and has been an ameture lifter for years don't take it too far- start researching these, and have an honest talk with your doctor. I know it sounds fucking weird, but a Doctor is gonna be WAY happier that you're honest with them openly in a clinical setting for guidance than attempting huge weight gains that make them think you're being abused or something is horribly wrong. Some will judge, but let's face it- you'd gain the weight anyway because you wanna be happy. Might as well be open and honest so you can be as successful as possible in it. For the exercises, consider a sports medicine doctor or a trainer to get a good plan.
>Do you really think the companies charging $98 for $6 insulin will allow diabetes to be cured at an affordable cost?Look into the literal Hepatitis C cure sofosbuvir - $84,000 for a month's supply in the USA, but barely $300 in Japan and India. These companies will always be foiled by another government or public health care system in the world that will be fine with you spending american dollars to fly over, be a tourist, get your meds, pay your way for a while, then return. Shit, such "Healthcare Tourism" is in fact being FLAUNTED in Spain where it's cheaper to have the Spaniards fix you're broken hip and keep you on a resort to heal for a month than to do the same in the US. The only reason it continues is because they make money off the poor, who don't have the resources to take advantage of systems. Think of the Sam Vine's "Boots" Theory of socio-economic unfairness.
>look at the sugar taxes they already are pushingIt's because they are easily bullied- take a peek at the rates on cigarette taxes on the east coast. Nobody is showing up with the capacity to cause extreme violence against a tax on soda (that doesn't work anyway but that's issue #2 for a government).
>>10188>hormonesOoof, big spook. I'd need a good dissertation on therapeutic levels and dosing from someone in endocrinology, as a man taking estrogens can lead to cardiomegaly ON TOP of being overweight. Also, the Chinese are (rumored) to be mass producing human hormones for young trans kids to take, i.e. the "Pink Pill", so you have to make sure you know what you're getting.
