Insulin Resistance: The Hidden Killer
"Insulin resistance is a hidden killer of Americans. It is the silent killer. It can remain undetected for a long time until a person is diagnosed with diabetes."
Almost all the clients I get that cannot lose weight are resistance to insulin. People have no idea what resistance to insulin leads to. Two of the three main causes of death: Heart disease and diabetes are related to insulin resistance. The Better Question
For Type 2 diabetes the question that needs to be answered is, "Why are the cells not allowing insulin into the cells?" Your cells have insulin receptors. When insulin reaches these receptors they cause the cells to allow insulin into the cells. Insulin is combined with glucose and it is insulin that drives the glucose into the cells to provide fuel for energy. Insulin not only combines with glucose, it combines with protein to bring protein into the cells as well. When the cells are not receptive to insulin, glucose and protein does not go inside and your cells do not get energy or protein. This leaves a high amount of sugar in your blood. This high level of glucose is called hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia
This state of hyperglycemia, if it becomes chronic, can produce a very wide variety of serious complications over a period of years, including kidney damage, damage to your nerves, cardiovascular damage, damage to the retina etc. So the current treatment of this is to lower the blood sugar levels in the blood through diet and drugs. What should be solved is how to get the insulin to be used again. In other words, the goal is to restore insulin sensitivity again. When the cells allow insulin into the cells, blood glucose will go into the cells and the blood glucose levels will drop down to normal. This is the way it is supposed to work normally. Diabetes Cure
My diabetes cure first reverses this resistance to insulin. This is done by strengthening the adrenals and removing ingredients in food that are stressors to the adrenals. Not many people know that adrenal fatigues causes insulin resistance. So curing the adrenals is the first step in curing insulin resistance. Then this cured diabetes type 2. For diabetes type 1, I used a different protocol to stop your body from attacking your pancreas. Diabetes type 1 is caused by a condition where your body starts to mistake your pancreas as a foreign invader and starts to attack it. This is the what I solve with my consults. Symptoms Of Insulin Resistance
If you have insulin resistance in the beginning stages, these are the symptoms you have: - Crave sweets during the day
- Irritable if meals are missed
- Depend on coffee to keep yourself going or get yourself started
- Get lightheaded meals are missed
- Eating relieves fatigue
- Feel shaky, jittery, tremors
- Agitated, easily upset, nervous
- Poor memory, forgetful
- Blurred vision
If your insulin resistance gets worse these are the symptoms that are added on:
- Fatigue after meals
- Crave sweets during the day
- Eating sweets does not relieve cravings for sugar
- Must have sweets after meals
- Waist girth is equal to or larger than hip girth
- Frequent urination
- Increased thirst & appetite
- Difficulty losing weight
If you have several of these occurring often or frequently, you need to get it resolved so it does not develop into an illness like diabetes. The good news is that the solutions are available for you and they are not difficult and do not involve the use of drugs.
