Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it’s an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t effectively use the insulin it does produce. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose from food enter your cells to be used for energy. This leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood, which can cause a variety of health problems if not properly managed.

There are several types of diabetes:

All doctors agree that we should first encourage diabetic patients to make lifestyle changes. However, I have seen that most doctors rely more on medicines to control this disease and only formally talk about lifestyle changes.

If we want to significantly reduce the number of people with diabetes, as well as help those suffering from the disease recover, we need to do two things. First, we need to pay more attention to insulin resistance, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. this is the main root cause of most cases. Along with this, we do not have to focus only on blood sugar levels. Second, we need to encourage lifestyle changes that will increase insulin sensitivity. I believe that in the case of diabetes mellitus type-2, doctors should rely on medicines as the last resort.

Very few people understand how easy it is to make lifestyle changes to avoid the early problems of diabetes mellitus and its resistance. Here we are talking about general exercise. Also about eating food that does not increase blood sugar and taking some basic essential nutrients that do not increase the patient’s sensitivity to insulin. When you implement all three of these changes at once, as you saw in Joe’s case, miraculous results occur.

Let’s now talk about each of these factors for insulin resistance:

In my opinion, most doctors make big mistakes while giving dietary advice to their diabetic patients. Since the risk of cardiovascular diseases is very high in such patients, the main topic of concern of the American Diabetic Association is the amount of fat in the diet of the patients. For this reason, the Association and many dieters recommend a low-carbohydrate and low-fat diet.

Diabetes patients have been following the advice of this association for the last 35 years. In the mid-70s, 40 percent of diabetes patients died from cardiovascular disease. Now we have entered the new century, but despite this, 80 percent of diabetes patients are dying due to cardiovascular diseases. Don’t you think we should reconsider our approach to treatment?

When we understand that we need to treat insulin resistance, the root cause of the problem, we will recognize that our main concern is carbohydrates. This is contrary to the belief of dietitians who believe that “carbohydrate is just carbohydrate” and its source does not matter. This thinking completely ignores the glycemic index (the rate at which the body absorbs various carbohydrates and turns them into simple sugars).

Many studies show that some carbohydrates release sugar more quickly. Whereas some complex carbohydrates (rich in fibers) like beans, cauliflower, sprouts, and apples release sugar slowly. When these low-glycemic carbohydrates are included in a balanced diet with good protein and a healthy waistline, blood sugar spikes do not occur. This is very important for controlling diabetes. If blood sugar levels after meals are not too high, which is an important aspect of diabetes control, there is no difficulty in bringing them back to normal. 200.

Walter C. Willows, chief of nutrition and preventive medicine at Harvard Medical School, suggests in his book “Eat, Drink and Be Healthy” that we should reconsider the Baad pyramid suggested by the USDA. Low-glycemic carbohydrates should be at the bottom of this pyramid while high-glycemic foods (white bread, white flour, pasta, rice, and potatoes) along with all types of sweets should be at the top.

Everyone believes that sweets are dangerous for diabetes. But what few people realize is that high-glycaemic foods raise blood sugar more quickly than candy. When I finally convince my diabetic patients to eat a diet rich in good proteins and good fats along with low-glycaemic carbohydrates, the diabetes is under control dramatically and their bodies become relatively more sensitive to their insulin

Moderate exercise has tremendous health benefits. And diabetes is important. Why? Studies show that exercise makes patients more sensitive to their insulin, and therefore DIV insulin plays an important role in lifestyle changes for patients with insulin resistance.

The exercise program should be a balance of aerobic and weight-lifting exercises and should be performed at least three times per week, but not more than five or six. People must find an exercise program to be fun, as no one has to become a marathon runner. Even just walking briskly for 30-40 minutes three times a week has tremendous benefits.

Many clinical experiments have shown that pre-clinical diabetes Or the level of oxidative stress remains very high in people who are impaired in the body’s ability to absorb glucose. Often the antioxidant defense system also becomes weak in these people. Other studies* have shown that stress is more likely to increase in people with secondary diabetes because it can lead to damage to the retina of the eye or even diabetes. Antioxidants should be taken to reduce complications. join as

Several studies show that antioxidants of all types can improve insulin resistance. Although this is an important component, diabetic patients should take a combination of several types of antioxidants with additional nutrients at appropriate (not RDA levels) levels. I have learned in my research and practice that patients with all types of diabetes are deficient in many micronutrients. These are:

Chromium is important for glucose metabolism and insulin action, but studies show that 10 percent of Americans are chromium deficient. Chromium greatly improves insulin sensitivity, especially in people deficient in this mineral. diabetes and

Syndrome-X patients need an additional 300 micrograms of chromium.

Vitamin E not only improves antioxidant defenses, but it also appears to help the body with insulin resistance. Research shows that low levels of vitamin E are the only strong predictor of developing diabetes in adults. Gin

People who are deficient in Vitamin E have a higher risk of diabetes than normal people.

Magnesium deficiency is related to both diabetes type 1 and type 2. Is. This also increases the risk of retinopathy in diabetic patients. Studies show that when this deficiency is compensated in old age, the efficiency of insulin increases significantly.

Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency in the body is very difficult to detect. Where the body’s total magnesium is normally found. Or serum magnesium is checked. Cellular metabolism of magnesium is highly sensitive and accurate, but can only be tested in atrophy laboratories, not in hospitals. That is why it is very difficult to detect magnesium deficiency.

We need at least 400 to 500 mg of additional magnesium.

Vanadium is not a well-known mineral, but it is very important for diabetic patients. When taken extra, there is a significant increase in insulin sensitivity. Diabetic patients need to take 50 to 100 micrograms of additional vanadium daily.

I’m amazed at what patients who are willing to combine dietary changes with exercise and nutrients that increase insulin sensitivity and minerals and antioxidants can get from it. Along these lines, I would like to tell you a case history
