Why? When we already know what causes the main form of diabetes (being Type 2), and how to reverse it! (Type 1 symptoms and effects can be greatly reduced and insulin requirements reduced).
Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic condition where blood sugar levels are constantly high due to dysfunctional hormones such as insulin, leptin, glucagon, and ghrelin and others. The body no longer responds correctly to these hormones. High blood glucose is very inflammatory and damaging to the body, especially to the blood vessels (causing atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin ulcers and loss of blood supply to lower extremities, poor wound healing), damaging the nerves (causing loss of sensitivity and feeling in extremities), eye conditions, kidney damage, liver damage and more.
These are factors and the result of Diabetes, but not the cause of the condition. So what does cause Diabetes?
There is no single cause to Diabetes, but a combination of factors, which can be a different combination in each person.
Some of the possible root causes and factors in Diabetes include the following:
- High carbohydrate diet, causing consistently high blood sugar levels
- Insulin resistance, as a result of the chronic high blood sugar levels
- Low protein and low fat diets, because you’re eating too many carbs
- Many vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which are needed to make insulin or other hormones for regulating blood sugar levels
- Low salt diets, causes insulin resistance
- Poor lifestyle, typically a sedentary one, so you don’t use the blood sugar for physical activity
- Poor sleep quantity and quality
- Poor sun exposure, low vitamin D, and/or excess exposure to artificial lighting
- Heavy metals toxicity
- High chronic inflammation and oxidative damage, from a number of causes and sources, especially causing damage to the pancreas, to reduce insulin production and secretion
- Low thyroid function
- And more!
But diabetics are usually just told to eat less fats and more of the very thing which causes high blood sugar - carbs! Why? Because the diabetes associations around the world are sponsored by food industry companies, such as grain companies, cereal producers, and other packaged and processed foods, to maintain their profits. The same food industry companies also sponsor the dietitians' associations around the world, so those associations will promote their products. In some countries, such as in Australia, the Dietitians Association of Australia actually wrote the government food guidelines, again favouring food industry companies' products. This is why these mostly high carb foods are promoted for everyone, and especially for diabetics. Such advice will make your health worse.
I have reversed type 2 diabetes in people who have had the condition for years, often in a few weeks! In some, their fasting blood sugar readings dropped into the normal range within a few days! All because of getting the right scientifically proven nutrition advice and some lifestyle changes, in an easy to follow treatment plan.
If you have diabetes or someone you know does and hasn't been able to improve their symptoms in a few weeks, then I would love to help! Type 2 Diabetes is completely reversible! But it needs to be treated by someone who understands the condition and who focuses on all the root causes in each person, and not by someone who wants to just "manage" the symptoms. Make a decision to reverse type 2 diabetes today, and improve your quality of life!
Stay healthy!
