I find it very amusing and ironic that ONE day after the absolute sugar-fest that is Halloween (or Hell-o-ween?!) on October 31st, with the ridiculous amount of unhealthy treats given out for this alleged tradition, there’s a whole MONTH of diabetes “awareness” which follows! But I’m sure this amusement and irony is lost on so many people.
Diabetes, and especially Type 2 Diabetes, is completely preventable and reversible, despite the advice of the diabetes organisations and charities. An example, from the American Diabetes Association, which claims that Type 2 Diabetes is a problem when your body does not use insulin properly. As such, their recommended “treatments” are focussed on using medications and insulin to treat the symptoms of diabetes, being the high blood glucose levels. They simply do not acknowledge or look at treating the root causes of Diabetes! They also do not really even understand the condition IMHO!
Diabetes Australia claims that Diabetes is again due to poor insulin production, and that there is no cure for Type 2 Diabetes, with mainly a genetic cause as it runs in families even there’s been no known genetic cause found! No, the insulin issues of Diabetes are due to a poor diet of too many carbohydrates (sugary foods and drinks, grain based foods, fruit, and alcohol). A high carbohydrate diet causes higher insulin production, and over time can wear out the pancreas (the organ which produces insulin), leading to higher and higher blood glucose levels, which leads to diabetes, and its other issues of chronic inflammation and oxidative damage, high blood pressure and heart issues, obesity, and other health issues.
People within families tend to eat the same cr@ppy foods and have the same cr@ppy lifestyle, which can be common causes and risk factors for diabetes. So what may appear to be genetic is not at all!
Diabetes Australia recommends eating lots of carbohydrates (!) and less fat to control your diabetes, which is completely the opposite of what you should do! Healthy fats in foods will better balance your blood sugar and energy levels, prevent sugar cravings, and cause absolutely NO insulin response from the pancreas!
Similar to other chronic health conditions I’ve seen in clinical practice, there is no one root cause to Type 2 Diabetes. While a high carb diet IS a major root cause to Diabetes, there are always other root causes and contributing factors too, which can be different in each person. Unless all the root causes to Diabetes in each person are identified and treated, the Diabetes can’t be reduced or reversed.
It's about time that the diabetes organisations in Australia and around the world started advising the public based on 21st century scientific advice on diabetes prevention and treatment, and not 1960s garbage science that they still promote. This is about peoples' lives and that of their families, and not about maintaining profits for the diabetes organisations and the food companies they are in bed with.
We also need to better educate our children in good nutrition, and set good examples as adults too. This includes boycotting stupid and unhealthy traditions like Halloween and its dangerous sugar-fest. It’s not just about a one treat day per year, as those unhealthy treats often last days or weeks, and children are exposed to these multiple times per year, or very regularly in many cases. And we wonder why Diabetes hasn’t gone away…
Because I focus on finding all the root causes and factors contributing to Diabetes in each person, I get very quick and long-lasting results! If you or someone you know has Diabetes, or even pre-diabetes, I’d be happy to help stop further progression, and start to reverse this and get you back to health again!
