I have. My conclusion is that your assertion is incorrect. That is why I asked for a citation.

Edit in Reply:

I would like you to cite gold-standard scientifically verified evidence, not "common knowledge." As far as I know, insulin resistance is not known to cause the myriad of diseases you mention. It is merely an early warning sign of diabetes.

If you wish to challenge the text books, you better come with peer-reviewed and independently verified studies.

Also, you're getting the scientific method backwards. If you assert a fact, you're the one who has to prove it. The burden of proof lies on you to demonstrate that the current medical evidence is wrong.

As said two thousand years ago, "The proof lies upon him who affirms, not upon him who denies; since, by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof." [0]

Huh. You're right. Thanks for the sources.

It's not definitive research, but it's certainly very convincing. Doctors often act on less, including single patient case studies.
