About the Author
The Quick Start Guide
How to Reverse and Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a disease caused by too much insulin in our body when we eat too much sugar.
When you eat sugar, the glucose level in the blood rises. Your body secretes the hormone insulin to help move the glucose out of the bloodstream into the cells for energy. When you eat too much sugar, the insulin level in your blood will be constantly high. Chronically elevated blood insulin levels cause insulin resistance, a condition in which the cells fail to respond to insulin to move the blood glucose into the cells, leaving excess glucose in the blood. In response to excess glucose in the blood, the body secretes even more insulin. More insulin in the blood causes even more insulin resistance, perpetuating the vicious cycle. If the insulin levels can no longer keep pace with the rising resistance, your blood glucose level will be constantly high—a primary symptom of type 2 diabetes.
Insulin resistance causes most modern chronic illnesses, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and cancer.
Conventional Diabetes Medications Can Make the Problem Worse
Conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs do not rid the body of excess glucose. They just take the glucose out of the blood and ship it to other organs, such as the kidneys, the nerves, the eyes, and the heart. Over time, this can lead to serious illnesses such as blindness, kidney failure, fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic neuropathy, and Alzheimer’s disease.
