About

🎯 Our Mission:

To empower people with Type 2 diabetes by helping them understand their unique subtype and make informed decisions about diet, lifestyle, and treatment options based on cutting-edge Stanford research.

Overview

This website is built on groundbreaking research from Stanford University, led by Dr. Michael Snyder and his team. Their work has identified that Type 2 diabetes is not a single disease, but rather comprises four distinct physiological subtypes—each requiring different management approaches.

We believe that understanding your specific subtype can transform how you manage your blood sugar. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you can target the actual metabolic dysfunction driving your condition.

Our goal is to make this research accessible to everyone by providing:

  • Clear explanations of the four diabetes subtypes

  • Simple tools to help identify your subtype using CGM data

  • Food recommendations tailored to each subtype

  • Educational resources based on peer-reviewed science

đź“š The Science Behind Subtypes

Traditional diabetes classification focuses primarily on blood sugar levels and HbA1c. However, research shows that the underlying causes of elevated blood sugar vary significantly between individuals:

The Four Subtypes:

  • đź’Ş Muscle Insulin Resistance: Muscles don’t respond well to insulin

  • đź«€ Liver Insulin Resistance: Liver overproduces glucose

  • 🔬 β-Cell Dysfunction: Pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin

  • 🧬 Impaired Incretin Action: Gut hormones don’t stimulate insulin properly

Each subtype responds differently to foods, exercise, and medications. By identifying your subtype, you can choose interventions that address your specific metabolic dysfunction.
