Print Out For Newly Diabetic Loved Ones To Help Understand The Problem |

The newly diagnosed diabetic (and loved ones) are nearly always bewildered trying to understand what they are saddled with. They need first of all to understand that the main health problems that the diabetic has could be greatly alleviated by changing to a food input involved with fixing how the body copes (once you have diabetes) and now reacts to the intake of carbohydrates and sugars. The main hormones involved are insulin and glucagons.When lots of carbs and/or sugars are ingested, there's a big increase in insulin, a hormone whose job it is to decreases that excess sugar in the blood stream. either force muscle cells to accept this surplus sugar (more then the liver can handle) or to turn the sugar into fat as a self defense to keep your body from literally drowning in it. (Also in self defense your kidneys try to pee some surplus out.) Often resulting also in kidney damage. The problem is that over many years of abuse, the insulin loses its effectiveness so your body has to produce more and more of it - a condition called hyperinsulinism.Unfortunately excess amounts of insulin in the blood and tissues causes all kinds of horrible things to go wrong in your body, (body damage) including decreased immune system, hardening of the arteries, and so forth. Your life expectancy is cut. latest figures now say 14 years as a result of these side affects of high insulin and resulting from excess blood sugar.. The high blood sugar (Blood Glucose) (BG) that often runs uncontrolled now in a diabetic blood streams can and does in a relatively short time, if left uncontrolled, severe body damage and is what most are taking drastic steps to control, most not realizing that also happening, and more likely to kill you early is the resulting high insulin the body is now making trying to defend you from high sugar damage. High blood sugar level thickens the blood to syrup and small veins supplying eye sight, nerves, digestion and heart control, no longer are sustained and cells die, often showing first in nerve damage to body extremities such as feet. These cells starved and dying from lack of nutrients are called "diabetic complications", and once this body damage is done it is almost totally not reversible. Eventually, over years of this "high sugar" abuse, the accumulated damage taken to an extreme, the now necessarily extremely high insulin becomes completely useless even at maximum producible level, all this leading to what is called Adult Onset Diabetes (Diabetes Type II). Two ways to fix it, (muscle development -exercise help a bit acting as a sugar dump) preferably do it with strict control of carb input, and the second is chemical medications to try to suppress the sugar and the bodies reaction to sugar. Neither of which is 100% effective. The Diabetic needs to devote some time to learn "What Works" long term for them.
