Diabetes, the real problem!
Today, most people with diabetes are only treating the symptoms and not getting to the root of the problem.

Furthermore, many medications given to people with diabetes are compounding problems instead of getting to the root cause.
The best way to manage your diabetes is to get to the root cause. Doesn't that make more sense? Let's look at what Type 2 diabetes really is.
The Simple Explanation.
There are two primary reasons for Diabetes:
A prolonged diet, high in carbohydrates
Improper and under nourishment.
Let's look at what happens in our bodies. Whenever we eat, our bodies convert the carbohydrates into sugar (glucose). This causes the glucose level of our blood to rise. The more carbohydrates you eat, the higher your blood sugar rises. Your body then needs to metabolize this sugar and convert it to energy. This is where insulin comes into the picture.
When your blood sugar rises, your body produces more insulin to lower your blood sugar. That's good!! Sooooo, what's the problem? You'll soon see!
The function of insulin is to help or push the sugar from your blood into the cells in your body. On the outside of every cell, there are what we call "insulin receptors". These receptors act like guards, guarding the doorway into your cells. These guards (insulin receptors) regulate the amount of sugar that gets into your cells. Got the picture? Let's continue.
When you have a prolonged diet that is high in carbohydrates, things begin to happen within your body, There is way too much carbohydrates being converted to sugar. This causes your body to produce an excess amount of insulin. Why? Because! It needs the insulin to push all that sugar into the cells. Still with me?
With all this excess insulin trying to push the sugar into your cells, the insulin receptors (the guards) begin to get lazy. Some of the guards (the insulin receptors) won't let the sugar into the cells. So what happens now? Your blood sugar rises even more. Wait it gets worse!
Because your blood sugar is now elevated, your body thinks it needs to produce more insulin to get the excess blood sugar into your cells. Remember from above when the insulin receptors (guards) got lazy. All this additional excess insulin causes even more guards (insulin receptors) to get lazy, malfunction and shut the doors. Thus raising your blood sugar even further, and thus causing your body to produce more insulin, thus causing more receptors to get lazy. So the cycle continues, and goes on and on and on. More insulin causing more insulin receptors to fail and there you go, insulin resistance.
When your body can no longer produce enough insulin to push the sugar into the cells, you develop Type 2 diabetes.
This is a very simple explanation of what the problem really is.
What's the Bottom line?
Type 2 diabetes is really insulin resistance. The solution to the problem is to find a way to increase the sensitivity of your cells to insulin and help your body get the sugar out of your blood and into your cells so it can be metabolized and turned into energy. This is one of the reasons why diabetics continuously feel tired and fatigued. Does that make sense?
Excess Insulin has negative effects!
As just stated, your body's metabolism processes food and produces energy, and insulin is your metabolism's master hormone. Having an over abundant supply of insulin can be very detrimental to your health. Listed below are some of the complications caused by excess insulin.
1) Heart Disease.
2) Hardening of the Arteries.
3) Damage to Artery Walls.
4) Increased Cholesterol Levels.
5) Vitamin &Mineral Deficiencies.
6) Kidney Disease
7) Accumulation & storage of fat.
8) Weight Gain
9) Fat burning mechanism turned off.
Nutritional Deficiencies from excess insulin.
Science has shown that excess insulin also causes your body to become deficient in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It's a proven fact that being deficient in them is directly linked to high blood sugar levels.
Chromium
Chromium is essential to your metabolism and maintaining safe sugar levels. Excess insulin depletes our chromium. According to Dr. Michael Eades, MD, author of "Protein Power", he states, "The insulin receptor, the structure on the surfaces of your cells that actually become resistant to insulin, requires chromium to function properly. Deficiency of chromium is rampant - it affects 90% of the American population - because a diet high in starch and sugar puts a heavy demand on the insulin system to handle the incoming carbohydrate load, and that demand depletes chromium."
Calcium and Magnesium
Excess insulin also causes your body to become depleted in calcium and magnesium. Both of the elements are essential for good health and are a part of hundreds of bodly functions. One of the most common problems that result from a deficiency in calcium is bone density. Magnesium also plays an important role in your body's utilization of calcium.
Some of the other deficiencies caused by excess insulin are: zinc, selenium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, the B complex Vitamins, the essential fatty acids, and much more.
Now you know how and why people get type 2 diabetes.
Now you know what some of the consequences are of not controlling your blood sugar.
Here are your choices:
