True. But they'll never regain insulin sensitivity eating low carb all the time. All they'll do is avoid the problem. It takes decades to create metabolic syndrome in most cases, so it stands to reason it won't be fixed overnight. It may take years. Getting your fat intake under control - elevating SFA's and eliminating PUFA's is a great start. From there, at some point you're going to have to cycle in carbohydrate to regain sensitivity. That doesn't mean chomp down on 3 lbs of white potatoes. It does mean start lifting heavy to increase glycogen stores and insulin sensitivity, becoming fat soluble vitamin replete and slowly cycling small (but ever increasing) amounts of lower GI fruits and starches into your post-workout routine, slowly increasing quantity and GI until you can handle it. It may take years, and a blood glucose monitor is essential to finding our tolerances, but IMO I don't see another way to truly fix insulin resistance.
