Today, most people with diabetes are only treating the
symptoms. And many medications given to people with diabetes
are actually compounding the underlying cause of the
disease.
The best way to manage your diabetic condition is to
address the actual cause. Doesn't that make more sense? So
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 so they can use it for energy.
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 fewer of these 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
develops. 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.
What's the bottom line?
