Five percent of diagnosed diabetics are designated “Type 1” (formerly “juvenile”) diabetes. From Birth, the pancreas of these individuals is unable to produce adequate amounts of insulin for the metabolism of glucose. Although glucose is present it remains trapped in the bloodstream. The cells receive no energy from carbohydrates to perform their necessary functions, because glucose requires insulin for entry. Thus, first among the symptoms diabetes is malaise. You may have noticed that most diabetics complain of being extremely tired most of the time.
The remaining 95% of diabetics are classified as “Type 2” (formerly adult-onset) diabetes. In the vast majority of those cases, the pancreas produces adequate to excessive levels of insulin, but glucose nonetheless is unable to enter the cells. This is a large part a result of the high-fat American diet, which hinders the function of both natural and injected insulin.
Diabetes of both types endure an array of increasingly debilitating symptoms, ranging from frequent urination to unquenchable thirst , excessive hunger, sudden weight loss, weakness and fatigue, reduced concentration and coordination, blurred vision, irritability, recurrent infections, numbness in the extremities, slow healing of cuts and bruises.
Unfortunately, the ravages of diabetes are by no means the end point on this slippery slope toward total health failure. Diabetics also face higher risks for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, kidney disease, gangrene, limb amputations and blindness, among others.
All cellular functions requires action to be followed by recovery, or inaction. Over train (or under recover a muscle group and it will degenerate rather than grow. The same is true for any organ. The pancreas cannot continue to overwork without showing signs of partial, and eventually, total failure.
Most type 2 diabetics produce plenty of insulin. Dietary fat hinders its function
Would you agree that a high fat diet weather from cooked food or raw food can cause Type 2 diabetes?
The fix A low fat eating style eating fresh ripe fruits and vegetables following an 80-10-10 plan
