The solution to diabetes is for a healthy, more balanced way of eating than what the current western diet seems to involve. There should be more of an emphasis on using good carbohydrates in balance with adequate protein. This is in stark contrast to what most people eat on a daily basis. The average Westerner consumes lots of processed foods that have hidden sugars and highly processed carbohydrates. In a lot of cases they do so without even knowing due to the sneaky marketing of the producers. This puts most people on the road to diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions. The saddest part is that diabetes has a predictable set of stages which can be easily recognized.
The road to diabetes has a lot to do with the glycemic index. All carbohydrates are rated on this index with regards to the level of insulin reaction they produce. Foods that have a high glycemic index rating will cause your pancreas to release a lot of insulin to break down the amount of sugars and carbohydrates (which produce high amounts of glucose). The refined carbohydrates and sugars that sadly make up the majority of the western diet rank very high on the glycemic index.
We are able to more readily digest these foods as children, because our bodies function more efficiently in our youth. There may have been side effects, like weight gain and mood swings, but they didn't stand out. As we age, however, these symptoms begin to grow and become more prevalent. The nation-wide obesity epidemic is a result of high-carbohydrate diets and unstable blood sugar levels.
Many people who are overweight are also insulin resistant. Insulin resistance means that the insulin is not doing its job in removing glucose from the blood stream. The pancreas gets put under the pump and it releases massive amounts of insulin, sometimes 20 times more than the body actually needs. The result being that the blood sugar level drops to extremely low and dangerous levels. This sets off a chain reaction in the body that leads to a release of adrenaline to correct the blood sugar problem.
With age, blood sugar and insulin difficulties become more apparent. The condition is called Hyperinsulinism and is a precursor for type II diabetes. It is common to accompany high blood pressure and high triglycerides.
If you continue to consume a high-carbohydrate diet for many years, unfortunately, you will finally become fully diabetic. Insulin is the bodies primary creator of fat and extra pounds usually result in late onset diabetes. Pre-diabetic conditions, if not treated effectively from the get-go, will lead to diabetes indefinitely.
The warning signs for diabetes can be detected early. Your family doctor can perform insulin level tests that will let you know if you are at risk for pre-diabetic condition. Studies show that low-carb diets can help as controlling your blood sugar is one of the most effective methods to controlling pre-diabetic conditions.
There is now some compelling evidence available to suggest that diabetes can even be cured entirely. Individuals have beaten the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually been re-diagnosed as no longer having the disease at all.
