When Ivor Cummins posted Gerald Shulman’s 2018 Banting Lecture, suddenly, 16,000 people learned an immense amount about insulin resistance—in just a week! Gerald Shulman was the recipient of the 2018 Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement. In this video, I will highlight the fundamental concepts of Shulman’s lecture, including: - triglyceride HDL ratio; - body mass index (BMI)/relative body fat (RFM); - weight loss; - the role of exercise in reversing insulin resistance; - metformin, pioglitazone (Actos), and the future of diabetes medication; - a brief background on Sir Frederick Banting and his insulin discovery.
