Diabetes Defense

Diabetes is the name of the condition in which the blood sugar level is consistently too high. 14 million adults suffer from diabetes today. Furthermore, diabetes can lead to complications like obesity, heart disease, kidney, eye and nerve problems.

There are two types of diabetes: Type 1 is caused by insulin deficiency and develops in childhood. Insulin deficiency means there is not enough insulin being made by the pancreas due to a malfunction of their insulin producing cells.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance and used to be called adult onset diabetes. Insulin resistance occurs when there is plenty of insulin made by the pancreas but the cells of the body are resistant to its action which results in the blood sugar being too high.

Nutritional care of diabetes consists of a selective carbohydrate eating plan as well as herbs and supplements which feed the pancreas or improve insulin uptake. We will look at additional factors or complications, such as obesity or heart conditions, and design a nutritional program to improve all these conditions. It is possible to backtrack on this path and improve your health. But it is better yet to avoid it altogether.

If you have sugar management issues like hypoglycemia (shaky and irritable if meals are delayed), it's best to correct it as soon as possible. Sensible eating, supportive lifestyle, regular movement are the keys to good health.

Insulin: a hormone made by the pancreas. The function of insulin is to escort sugar into cells for energy production.

Pancreas: an abdominal organ. Its function is to secrete digestive compounds and insulin.
