Type II diabetes is a FAILURE of the insulin you have, to get the glucose from your blood into cells.

Something fails at the cell wall, and the body senses low blood sugar in the cells, and stimulates insulin to be secreted by the pancreas. Then you get higher and higher levels, which continue to fail at the cell level. When total failure occurs, you are then a type II diabetic.

This is thought to be due to some undiscovered hormone made by the belly fat in your body, that blocks the cells from using the glucose the belly fat wants. This is a genetic failure, and is often called the starvation response. People who made fat quickly from their food intake instead of burning it as energy, survived starvation during our evolution, and lived longer and reproduced more successfully. Since people died young (compared to today), this was not a negative issue. But today with our longer lifespan, this trait, becomes a negative one when blood sugars go too high and diabetes results.

Basically people with this conservation gene, are feeding their belly and the body is starving. That is why hypoglycemia precedes type II diabetes.

This is why it is not a good idea to binge on pints of Hagendaz ice cream. (or other sweets).

Also high intake of fat at one sitting makes the blood viscous and thick, and people with MGUS who already have thick blood just make that worse. Besides the sugar, the sudden fat intake can be very dangerous, to the cardiovascular system. Smaller meals with moderate, good fats, and lean protein, and fiber/veggies with moderate carbs that are slowly converted to sugar (low glycemic) are the best road to take.
