From simple to science:

The Two Big Lies about T2 Diabetes:
The first lie is that Type 2 Diabetes is chronic and progressive or not “reversible”. The second lie is that treatment of blood sugar is the primary target of therapy. The target should be lowering insulin levels and insulin resistance. High blood sugar is a symptom.

The simpliest, only 18 minute TedxTalk explaining insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity is a one by Dr. Sarah Hallberg.
Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da1vvigy5tQ
It has had over 860,000 views in a year because her explanation is so clear and concise. Also her 15 minute How To Start LCHF is helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4D...eature=youtu.be

Her five simple rules are: 1. Eat REAL FOOD 2. Don’t drink your calories 3. Eat only when you are hungry 4. If it says light, low fat or fat-free, it stays in the grocery store. 5. No GPS: No grains, sugar or potatoes.

The diet used in her clinic was based on the low carb plan used by Dr. Eric Westman at Duke Lifestyle Clinic and found in the back of the book by Gary Taubes, Why We Get Fat. It is the diet with the most clinical evidence for optimum weight loss and reversing diabetes, simply called a “No Sugar, No Starch” plan, also a little booklet on Amazon. A video introduction and his studies on reversing T2 diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, PCOS and more at: http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb. Sign up for the Two Week Challenge on that website and you have the same clinic diet. Watch all the videos of Dr Westman on his member site (first month free)

A website with good but longer lectures on the causes of obesity, “How to Reverse Diabetes Naturally” and reduce Insulin Resistance is Dr Jason Fung's:

For more details, a website with many resources and links to short videos and articles on a wide range of diabetes and health topics is by a Low Carb RN and Diabetes Educator. https://lowcarbrn.wordpress.com . Also http://www.lowcarbdietitian.com

Highly recommend Dr. Bernstein's book and his YouTube Diabetes University series, but it includes much detailed information for people with diagnosed diabetes and on meds, so use it as "extra credit". There is also a Facebook page called "Reversing Diabetes" that has a good starter "toolkit" but also might be a bit overwhelming to you at this point.
