Article written big book by: Dr. Thomas Cowan With English by: Domagoj Džojić in America and other Western countries, diabetes is so common that its occurrence in any human group has become a sign of civilization. Ironically, but in no other field of western medicine big book promise of scientific solutions not scheduled so as precisely in the case of diabetes.
Diabetes is characterized by abnormally high blood sugar, ie, glucose big book levels in excess in the urine, big book causing it becomes sweet. The disease was first described by the Greeks proclaiming big book him ie diabetes mellitus. "Honey passing." Today, in America at least 20 million diabetics, of which 6 million must take insulin injections. Scientists are sung by the discovery of insulin in 1920 as one of the greatest medical achievements big book - as it actually was. Insulin is a hormone the pancreas to transfer glucose from the blood to the cells. When this system fails - when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or it can not deliver the glucose cells - then the blood sugar level remains abnormally high. And that's disease we call diabetes.
At first the doctors taught big book that diabetes is a disease simply the lack of insulin, a disease in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to meet the body's needs, and that it will be successfully resolved when knowledge and technology are at a sufficiently big book high level. With time, the researchers found a more efficient means of delivering insulin, and a method of manufacturing a cleaner and more efficient insulin - from porcine insulin to human insulin obtained by genetic engineering. The medical profession has realized big book that the oral administration of insulin that are insufficient and better subcutaneous injection, and that the best entry via the pump. Yet, with all the positive developments of 1920, diabetes remains one of the leading causes of death and disability in the western world. Complications include heart disease and circulation problems; renal disease; degeneration of the retina leading big book to blindness; neuropathic disorders that lead to numbness, tingling, pain and burning in the extremities; big book leg ulcers leading to gangrene; and high risk of infections.
Today, doctors are aware that diabetes is far more complicated situation than just a lack of insulin. They also found that there are two types of diabetes. Type I diabetes, also called insulin-dependent or juvenile, usually develops before the thirties, and is associated with a dysfunction of the pancreas. Diabetes type I is considered to be an autoimmune disease in which some trigger causes the immune system attacks its own cells that produce insulin, beta cells in the islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas. Over time, the pancreas decreases its ability big book to produce insulin, blood sugar rises, big book and may cause serious adverse consequences, including death, if a person does not receive insulin. Until now there has been agreed that this is a trigger for autoimmune diabetes type I. Some evidence suggests that these possible triggers could be - early introduction of pasteurized cow's milk, soy products and cereal, or the use of vaccines. Type I diabetes is often very difficult to control, and if it is to be placed under supervision, can lead to the early appearance big book of many of the above complications.
Type II diabetes, which is much more common than Type I, has a completely different causes. It is a form of diabetes that literally cries out for a new way of looking at things than the present by the medical profession.
To understand diabetes epidemic in the Western world, and why conventional treatment of this scourge has left no trace in the long-term consequences for those who suffer from it, we must first understand some of the basics of biochemistry. Control of blood sugar is one of the fundamental conditions big book for a healthy life. Blood sugar levels can become abnormal in one of two ways: it can become too low, which is defined as sugar below 80 and call hypoglycemia; or can become too high, when the sugar level is above 110, which is called hyperglycemia. Although none are good for health, each of the phenomenon causes very different reactions in the body. For example, if your blood sugar drops below 40, you will become disoriented, big book confused, and if the condition persists, you will fall into a coma and die. This condition is a true medical big book emergency. When the sugar is between big book 40-60, you will feel faint, flickering, anxious, sweaty, confused and irritable. When the sugar is between 60-80 will appear the same symptoms, but with less intensity.
The body in this state of emergency due to the reduced sugar is reacted in various ways. As soon as the sugar begins to fall below 80, the body begins to produce big book several hormones, particularly adrenaline and glucagon. The main effect of adrenaline to obtain more sugar to the cells. It is the secretion of adrenaline when we think of the famous tremors, feeling cherries that many have experienced during episodes of hypoglycemia. Glucagon helps by
