Natural Diabetes Cure

Diabetes mellitis is a disease characterized by high blood sugar. The body, and the blood vessels in particular, do not tolerate prolonged periods of high blood sugar. In a person without diabetes, foods are broken down in the intestinal tract and the components are dispersed throughout the body for use or disposal. The basic food component which provides fuel for your body’s cells is sugar, primarily, glucose. Glucose is converted into energy inside our cells. Insulin, produced in the pancreas, is the hormone responsible for taking glucose out of the blood, across the cells membrane and into the interior of the cell.

After a meal, blood sugar levels rise. As insulin is produced and circulated, glucose is removed from the blood and transported into the cells. As a result, blood sugar levels fall. This process is repeated over and over, again, each time a person eats something. Foods with high amounts of sugar and carbohydrate are absorbed quickly and have profound, immediate effects on blood sugar levels. Foods which are primarily protein and/or fat take longer to absorb and are broken down into glucose over much longer periods. As a result, proteins and fats have a more moderate effect over blood sugar levels and take a longer time to do so.

A person with diabetes has lost the ability to either produce insulin in the pancreas, or utilize insulin at the cell membrane. In either case, blood sugars collect and remain in the bloodstream and do not cross through the cell membrane and into cells, where it is needed for energy.

The effect of uncontrolled high blood sugars is profound. The problems associated with uncontrolled diabetes are primarily the result of problems with lipid (fats) metabolism and degeneration of small blood vessels. Because of these problems, diabetes can produce complications in the kidneys, heart, eyes and peripheral circulation (the circulation in the hands and feet). High blood pressure is also common. There is also a high rate of birth defects among the babies of women with diabetes.
