Diabetes, the real problem!
Today, most people with diabetes are only treating the symptoms and not getting to the root of the problem. Furthermore, many medications given to people with diabetes are compounding problems instead of getting to the root cause.
The best way to manage your diabetic condition is to address the actual cause. Doesn't that make more sense? Let's look at what type 2 diabetes really is.
The Simple Explanation.
Other than the genes you inherited, there are two primary causes of diabetes:
1) a long-term diet that has been high in carbohydrates and
2) nutritional deficiencies.
Your body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar (glucose) which then enters your blood stream. The more carbohydrates consumed, the higher your blood sugar goes. In response, your body produces insulin. Insulin's job is to push the blood sugar into the cells.
On the surface of the cells in your body are insulin receptors, which act like little doors that open and close to regulate the inflow of blood sugar.
After many years of consuming a high-carbohydrate diet, your cells have been bombarded with so much insulin that these doors begin to malfunction and shut down.
With less doors open, your body needs to produce even more insulin to push the glucose into the cells. More insulin causes even more doors to close and as this vicious cycle continues, a condition called "insulin resistance" sets in.
When your body can no longer produce enough insulin to push the blood sugar into the cells, type 2 diabetes results. It is simply an extreme case of insulin resistance.
The key point for you to understand is that your energy, wellness and longevity are primarily dependent on improving the sensitivity of your cells to insulin - how well your cells open and close the doors and clear sugar from the blood.
