How to Control Type 2 Diabetes Naturally – Forget the Drugs

Type 2 diabetes is becoming the number one illness worldwide at an alarming rate. We hear that it is hereditary or it is genetic. This is the mantra of the professionals who dish out the pills. The ratio of sufferers of type 2 diabetes has gone through the roof over the last fifty years. There is no way that our collective gene pool has gone from 1 in 100 000 to nearly 1 in 10 type 2 diabetes sufferers in such a short space of time.

What has changed in such a short space of time however, is our diet. The majority of us surviving of quick fix junk, devoid of nutrition. Highly processed and full of refined carbohydrates and sugars. Most of this food does nothing for us except keep our blood sugar levels up and stresses out our pancreas’s ability to continually produce insulin. After some time, our bodies will go through a biochemical change, in order to compensate for the increased insulin levels. This change comes in the form of our insulin receptor sites downgrading their numbers in order to deal with more and more insulin. When our insulin receptor sites have lessened in numbers blood sugar levels will slowly rise. This is when insulin resistance takes place and our fasting glucose levels (when you first wake up) will be much higher than the normal range of about 5.5 mg/dl.

As the resistance worsens and our bodies need more and more glucose to do the job of fuelling cells, where originally only a tiny amount would have done. Blood sugar levels rise and eventually they get so high that you will require some sort of medication to combat these dangerous levels.

What does all this equate to in the long run?
