We all know someone who’s been told to “watch their sugar,” or maybe you’ve heard your doctor mention insulin resistance.
But here’s the twist: Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just appear overnight after a few too many sugary desserts—it usually sneaks up slowly, over years or even decades.
At the heart of it all? Carbs. And not just the obvious ones like donuts and soft drinks. We’re talking oats, vegetables, fruit, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, even corn. This includes all those wholesome staples which are broken down by your digestive system into glucose – yes sugar!
And unfortunately, when it comes to glucose, your digestive system does not differentiate between unhealthy highly processed foods, and whole natural complex carbs. Your body breaks all carbs into glucose, and while whole foods are healthier any may be converted to glucose slower, they can ALL raise blood sugar.
And, if your body isn’t burning that glucose through movement or muscle use, it gets stored as FAT!
And when your fat stores are full, your cells become less responsive to insulin. This is called insulin resistance, and it’s the key driver behind the development of Type 2 Diabetes.
The Good News is OsteoStrong
Insulin resistance can be reversed if caught early enough. And here’s where it gets interesting
Unlike conventional gyms, OsteoStrong Centres use proprietary equipment which utilise a process called myofibril hypertrophy to safely increase the density and strength of the major muscles groups in your legs, arms and trunk. This helps you build dense muscle fast – in under 15 minutes a week.
No sweat, no running, no burpees!
Why does that matter?
Because muscle is your metabolic secret weapon. More muscle means:
- More places to store sugar (as glycogen),
- More blood glucose burned at rest,
- Less demand on your pancreas,
- And better blood sugar control—even if you’re already on medications or a specialised
The key is that muscles adapt to the loads they experience. At OsteoStrong, members can safely generate forces 8-10 times greater than in conventional gyms, leading you to significantly greater muscle adaptation- and importantly much greater benefits for glucose regulation (1).
In fact, OsteoStrong works synergistically with your doctor-prescribed treatments. Whether you’re taking metformin, adjusting your meals, or following an exercise plan—adding OsteoStrong helps supercharge your results by targeting the root of insulin resistance: low muscle mass and poor glucose utilisation.
It’s not just about “managing” diabetes. It’s about rewiring how your body handles energy.
So if you’re on a journey to take back control of your health, don’t go it alone. Pair your pharmaceutical, nutritional, or exercise program with a strength-building system that helps your body do what it was designed to do: burn sugar, build strength, and thrive.
OsteoStrong—Less time. More strength. Better control.
