Are you ready to start your journey from illness to wellness? If diet and exercise are supposed to be the keys to controlling diabetes, why are so many people still struggling with their diabetes? There are 7 reasons: - Most people including doctors don’t really understand diabetes. As a result, if you don’t understand the problem, you can’t solve the problem.
- There is so much myth and misinformation, that most diabetics think they understand. So, when their health doesn’t improve, they blame themselves or their doctors.
- We deny that we have diabetes, leading to no action as the disease takes hold in our bodies.
- We believe that the drugs are working because our blood sugar is lower and we don’t feel any discomfort.
- We believe that our doctor and his drugs are going to save us from the amputation, blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke.
- We don’t like changing our lifestyle, especially when it comes to eating and exercise.
- We have doubt that anyone could do something that a doctor couldn’t do. But, if we did the in-depth research, the doubt would go away very quickly.
The ebook Reverse Type 2 Diabetes in 10 Steps addresses all of these areas -- because it was written by an ex-diabetic who struggled with the exact same issues that you and other diabetics are struggling with right now! What is Type 2 Diabetes ... Really? If your goal is to get your Type 2 diabetes under control, beat your diabetes, reverse your diabetes, or possibly cure your Type 2 diabetes, then is critical that you acquire the proper knowledge to understand how this disease works. Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) is a metabolic disorder where the cells of the body have lost the ability to effectively utilize the insulin produced by the pancreas. This is known as insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult-onset diabetes, because it primarily affected older adults. But today with more children being overweight and sedentary, Type 2 diabetes is affecting them as well as adults. Type 2 diabetes is a combination of insulin resistance, inflammation, toxicity, cellular dehy-dration, nutrient starvation, and oxidative stress that affects trillions of cells. In other words, type 2 diabetes is more than just a "blood sugar" disease! -- it is a disease of defective cells! Fix the cells, you fix the disease! This is important to understand because once you must realize that you need to "fix the cells" and do more than just "control your blood sugar" , then, you’re on the way to understanding how to beat and reverse your diabetes. You also realize that the drugs which only try to control your blood sugar won’t help you to beat the disease. Insulin resistance and inflammation prevent your body’s cells from effectively using the insulin produced by the pancreas. That is, the insulin receptors on the surface of each cell are damaged (inflamed), ignoring the presence of insulin in your blood and refusing to allow glucose from your blood to enter your cells. The cells in your body require the glucose (as fuel) in order to produce energy. Without this fuel, your cells cannot produce energy and perform their functions. Over a period of years, the insulin resistance and inflammation spreads to more and more cells, leading to an increase in the production of fat cells and the need for more insulin from those cells. This increases the fat storage, especially in the abdomen area, while inhibiting fat metabolism because of the excess insulin (known as hyperinsulinemia). Over a period of years, this may lead to beta cell dysfunction, which may reduce insulin production and cause blood glucose levels to rise even further. In addition, there is an increase in oxidative stress, glycation, and a depletion of key micronutrients such as potassium, chromium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E causing a severe nutrient deficiency....... |
