RESOURCES ON DIABETES

Introduction

Diabetes is not one disease but many. Let me clarify what I mean by “diabetes is not one disease but many.” There are, in fact, 47 medical conditions that result in elevated blood glucose levels, the symptom all these conditions have in common.

The most common form, affecting 95% of patients is Type 2 Diabetes, a reversible dietary condition. Change your diet and you can reverse Type 2 Diabetes, aka Insulin Resistance.

The common symptom in Pre-Diabetes, Type 1, Type 1.5 and Type 2 Diabetes and the rest of these conditions is elevated blood glucose, but the underlying causes are different. As such, different treatment protocols need to be applied to treat the respective diseases.

Type 1 Diabetes

With Type 1 diabetes, the beta cells (islets of Langerhans) in the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin or none at all. The reason may be genetic or an acute viral infection that triggers an autoimmune response that kills the beta cells. These patients have to rely on exogenous insulin (insulin injections) to make up for the lack of insulin production.

Patients eating the wrong diet can develop insulin resistance (Type 2 Diabetes) layered on top of Type 1 Diabetes over time. As this progresses, they need to have increasingly larger doses of insulin. However, the Type 2 component of their Diabetes can be reversed through diet, leading to a 40% reduction in insulin required daily.

Patients with Type 1 Diabetes due to genetics are usually diagnosed as children or adolescents.

If due to an autoimmune reaction, they are diagnosed after they have had an acute viral infection, perhaps as a child or later in life.

Insulin Resistance

Pre-Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes and Type 3 Diabetes (Insulin Resistance of the Brain, Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, Nyanyuk) are all caused by Insulin Resistance. Insulin Resistance of the Liver is more commonly known as Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).

Pre-Diabetes & Type 2 Diabetes

Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes are both caused by wrong diet leading to Insulin Resistance of the muscle cells throughout the body. Its a matter of degree, undiagnosed and untreated patients with Pre-Diabetes often progress to Type 2 Diabetes. That’s why its important to do blood and urine tests annually, every six months if you’re over 50.

Type 1.5 Diabetes

Type 1.5 Diabetes is patients with Type 2 Diabetes who then develop Type 1 Diabetes layered on top. They may be a Type 2 Diabetic who get a viral infection that triggers an autoimmune response that kills their beta cells that produces insulin. But more often, they are Type 2 patients who were prescribed gliclazide to boost insulin production. Gliclazide puts the beta cells into hyperdrive to boost insulin production. Over time, the beta kills burn out and die (atrophy). Then, the patients need to start taking exogenous insulin injections.

It can also occur in Type 2 patients naturally, meaning their body naturally boosts its insulin production to reduce the elevated blood glucose levels. Again, over time such over-production of insulin may cause the beta cells to burn out and die prematurely.
