Complications of Diabetes

Type II Diabetes is the most epidemic chronic degenerative disease in the world. A new case is being diagnosed every 30 seconds, round the clock. The saddest thing about this condition is that type II Diabetes is almost always controllable and even preventable through diet, exercise and most importantly, key targeted supplements. There are many potential complications from diabetes, including neuropathy, amputations, increased cardiovascular risks, kidney damage, cholesterol elevation and heart attacks. Neuropathy is the destruction of nerve endings, mostly in the hands and feet leading to numbness. Over time circulation may be impaired, reducing the body's ability to heal wounds of the extremities. This circulation damage can systemic, affecting the entire arterial and venal systems. One of the most damaging diabetes side effects is to the kidneys. Over time, elevated blood sugar and insulin levels can damage kidneys beyond repair. The majority of amputations performed in all hospitals are directly related to diabetes. Diabetes so damages the circulation that even the smallest wounds can fail to heal, leading to amputations. Almost every diabetic has problems with cholesterol elevation. This is due to the disease's effect on the liver. Elevated cholesterol and diabetes is caused when the liver becomes toxic, from free radicals, and can no longer regulate cholesterol levels. Type II diabetics are also at a much higher risk for heart attacks.

Syndrome X

The symptoms revolving around both diabetes and hypoglycemia are often referred to as syndrome X. These include elevated cholesterol, blood pressure, and often a severe overweight situation. When excess insulin is produced its primary function is to convert blood sugar to stored energy called triglycerides, which are then deposited in the fat cells. Elevated triglycerides are also a sign of syndrome X. By controlling insulin levels and insulin receptor site function, we can control all of the other side effects of the condition often referred to as syndrome XDiabetes and weight gain are almost synonymous with each other. This is a result of severe carbohydrate intolerance. In fact moderate to severe obesity is a classic sign of syndrome X or insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when insulin receptor site cells become desensitized to the action of insulin, requiring more and more insulin to convert blood sugar to its stored forms.

What About Hypoglycemia?

Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and results from the same basic problems of insulin excess. In these individuals, the excess insulin is lowering the blood sugar levels too far resulting in weakness, shakiness, confused thinking, etc. Significantly low blood sugar can be very dangerous and even fatal. When we talk about natural Diabetes management next, the same principles with a little modification can be used to help those with hypoglycemia or low blood sugar as well.

Natural Diabetes Management

Diabetes, severe obesity and hypoglycemia management by natural means revolves around the same basic program. We approach natural diabetes management through the three key factors of health, namely Diet, Exercise, and Key Supplements. Regular exercise increases insulin receptor site sensitivity and thus reduces the need for excess insulin production. This step alone can help to lower bloods sugar levels in those with type II diabetes and stabilize blood sugar levels in those with hypoglycemia. Any program aimed at managing type II diabetes must control the type and amount of carbohydrates being ingested. Most diabetic diets are far to high in sugar forming carbohydrates to ever be able to lower blood sugar significantly. This is key in any natural diabetes management programThe last phase of a natural approach to diabetes and other glucose metabolism disorders such as hypoglycemia and obesity are key targeted nutrients, which have been shown to both lower insulin levels and increase insulin receptor site function. Natural nutrients such as Chromium, Vanadium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, Syzgium, Hydroxycitric Acid, in the right combination and ratios have shown to be very effective in managing all disorders of glucose metabolism even PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). This is a significant part of our natural diabetes management. Chromium has long been used to lower insulin levels by its effect on sparing blood sugar. Vanadium or vanadyl sulfate, has been clinically shown to increase insulin receptor site function by as much as ten-fold. Other herbal extracts such as Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, and Syzgium, each contributes a positive effect on both blood sugars and insulin production. Hydroxycitric Acid another ingredient we often use, helps the body to better utilize blood sugar for energy. It is often added to weight loss formulas as a result of this action. Through the addition of key nutrients such as Chromium, Vanadium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, Syzgium, and Hydroxycitric Acid, together with regular exercise and a diet that strictly controls carbohydrate intake, controlling diabetes naturally can frequently be realized. Carbohydrate intolerance affects millions of people contributing to such conditions as type II diabetes, hypoglycemia and much of the obesity found in industrialized nations. By controlling carbohydrate intolerance, we can conquer most of the epidemic numbers of these life-threatening health challenges.
