DIABETES

Diabetes most frequently found in adults is Diabetes Mellitus Type II (Type I is found in children). This disease occurs when a sugar concentration (glucose) in the blood is elevated.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines diabetes in the following manner. “Diabetes mellitus is a state of chronic hyper glycemia produced by various factors; genetic, nutritional, etc. The insulin hormone secreted by the beta cells in the pancreas is principle regulator of the blood sugar concentration.
When this hormone is not produced efficiently, the blood sugar concentration rises, thus causing numerous maladies.

Symptoms: Diabetes mellitus is evidenced by an exaggerated need to urinate (10 or more times a day) in this way, the excess sugar is expelled.

• The person becomes irritable, fatigues, and weak and exhausted, in addition to hungry (polyphagia), and feels a compulsive need to consume sugar.
• Polydipsia: extreme is also present.
• Glucosuria: when the sugar concentration is elevated and cannot be filtered by the kidneys, it passes into the urine giving it an odour of maple sugar. The level of sugar in the blood in which glucosuria or sugar in the urine appears is 180 mg per 100ml.
• Cetonuria is when acetone is found in the urine, giving a strong odor of acetone in the urine and mouth. Cetonuria together with glucosuria (acetone + sugar = diabetic cetoacidosis) can cause a diabetic coma. Caution!

The formation of skin ulcers and gangrene in the extremities of the chronically sick are produced by a failure in the blood supply due to arteriosclerosis and hypertension in these parts of the body. When these symptoms become chronic they may have serious consequences. If gone unnoticed, the toes, then the legs will be infected with gangrene and might need amputation. Vision is affected by chronic diabetes without any symptoms present in the beginning. Glaucoma (high pressure in the eye ball) can occur, partial separation of the retina, hemorrhages, micro-aneurysms (inflatable arteries) and cataracts. Diabetes is the main cause of blindness in adults.

Causes: There exists a high predisposition of inheriting diabetes, which is more easily produced in obese people. These people can control their diabetes with adequate regimen of meals. In the diabetic, the pancreas doesn’t function adequately. Therefore, it doesn’t produce the quality and quantity of insulin required. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas whose function is to help the glucose enter in to the muscle cells, liver and adipose tissue and store it there as a reverse to be used later by the organs that don’t have the ability to store it. When the glucose is not able to enter in to the cell tissues, it produces a great concentration of it in the blood. Therefore these tissues (muscles etc.) don’t have a sufficient amount of energy to function correctly. This produces weakness in the person even though he has enough glucose in the blood, it isn’t used adequately.

Suggestion: Diabetes can be controlled with an adequate diet regimen in which a lot of fiber is included such as; cactus leaves, carrots, whole wheat, fruits and vegetables in general.
You can control your diabetes if you follow an adequate diet and lifestyle. It has been found that some energizing products like Ginseng contain substances similar to the insulin hormone. The book by “Ginseng and its wonders” by watterlot explains what was found in investigations by Professor Hiroichi Okuda of Ehime University, Japan, who found a substance in Ginseng that produced similar effects to that of insulin.

Chromium: The mineral Chromium is a very important element that intervenes greatly in the metabolism of sugar and insulin.

Insulin with the aid of chromium performs the functioning of making sure that sugar is utilized by the cell, in addition to transforming it into glycogen to be stored by the liver and muscles, where it will be utilized by athletes who need an additional burst of energy.

Chromium Picolinate was developed by the “Human Nutrition Research Lab,” founded by the U.S government and patented by the U.S Department of Agriculture. It is considered a safe and effective nutritional supplement. It has been proven that chromium substantially increases muscle tissue and lowers body fat.

Chromium is one of the elements that insulin needs to do its job properly. Insulin, with the help of chromium, converts the carbohydrates, fats and some proteins into sugar and later into energy. It is recommended to ingest from 50 to 20 micrograms a day of this mineral. For aiding the process that insulin accomplished in the cells. It has been demonstrated that by consuming chromium, insulin works more efficiently, lowering the need of insulin in the body. Foods that contain the most chromium are: brewers yeast, clams, and com oil and wheat grains.
