Do you suffer from Diabetes Type 1, Type 11 or Gestational?

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.

Symptoms of Diabetes

Symptoms of high blood sugar include:

1. frequent urination,
2. increased thirst, and
3. increased hunger.

If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.

Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, or death.

Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.

Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced.

There are three main types of diabetes mellitus:

Type 1 DM results from the pancreas's failure to produce enough insulin. This form was previously referred to as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes”. The cause is unknown.
Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly.[2] As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop.[9] This form was previously referred to as “non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (NIDDM) or “adult-onset diabetes”. The most common cause is excessive body weight and insufficient exercise.
Gestational diabetes is the third main form, and occurs when pregnant women without a previous history of diabetes develop high blood sugar levels.

Prevention and treatment involve maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, a normal body weight, and avoiding use of tobacco. Control of blood pressure and maintaining proper foot care are important for people with the disease. [1]

I have seen excellent results with patients reversing their diabetes diagnosis and in general metabolic syndrome X diseases following intermittent fasting and following Dr Jason Fung's program. Amazing research from scientists like Professor Dominic D’Agostino’s – Diet Doctor etc are motivational in proving intermittent – nutritional ketosis way of eating every day can improve and reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome overall improvement in health. A huge bonus is patients may reduce their medication and or become completely medicated free following a natural intermittent fasting program under direction of your health practitioner. Nutritional Ketosis way of eating/fasting is the easiest and motivating result based scientific way to get our body and health back. Would you like to reverse diabetes? Allow your body to fast, heal and have more energy! The brain prefers ketones over glucagon and it is the perfect way to get rid of stubborn insulin resistance.
