Restoring Insulin Sensitivity: The Key To Stopping Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms

Every living thing has one thing in common with each other - insulin

. Working both in and between living cells, it plays multiple central roles in both single-cell and multiple cell life. Because it plays a pivotal role in metabolism, not being able to use insulin is a key part of the difficulties around having a high level of blood sugar - for some, continually. High blood sugar equals diabetes in both the doctor and the patients mind.

Life is based on complex chemical reactions continually occuring in an opimum manner. This is the same for the use of insulin. If both high insulin and high blood sugar levels occur, other chemical reactions don't work as well, resulting in:

* Blocked blood vessels

* Like different kinds of mud at the bottom of a stream, high triglycerides and cholesterol slow the flow in blood vessels.

* Bones that are thin and break easily. In advanced cases this is called severe osteoporosis.

* Blood flow severly restricted in the small vessels in hands and feet cause these areas to have sharp pains, called angina.

* Low immune function

All of these issues have a similar problem.

This insulin imbalance is common in these and other medical problems for many people. It is known that less effective metabolic action causes a person to age faster. High blood sugar must be burnt off, removed, or turned into fat.

It's typical to treat these symptoms, not the underlying cause. Some would say it's because of the profitablity of dealing with symptoms. It may be more because the symptoms are what is getting the attention. There is a way out.

Please consider these facts:

Something that is common in people that are over 100 years old, all over the world, have good levels of:

* The amount of glucose in the blood stream

* The amount of fat in the blood (triglycerides)

* The amount of insulin in the blood

It's commonly accepted by the medical community that one of insulin's purposes is to store excess nutrients. In the first step of converting excess blood sugar into body fat, all the insulin that can be mustered is released.

Insulin stores this excess sugar as glycogen which changes into saturated fat, weighing the entire system down.

The storage of other nutrients and minerals is carried out by insulin, including:

* Magnesium - Muscles need this mineral to relax. Excess insulin absorbs it. The stiffness of muscle fibers demands more insulin. On the celluar level, stiff muscle fibers cause blocks in circulation, constrictions in muscles, high blood pressure as more force is needed to circulate fluids, and lower avaliable energy levels.

* Sodium - Insulin absorbs this as well. You can be sure that high insulin levels result in fluid retention, high sodium levels, and high blood pressure.

Immediate medical problems with having high insulin levels in the body 24/7/365 include:

* Congestive Heart and Circulatory System Failure - The heart's nerves are strained when the sympathetic nervous system is excited by insulin spikes caused by a high carbohydrate, low fiber meal. A heart attack is 2 to 3 times more likely after a high-carb meal, while a high 'correct fat' meal REDUCES the same risk.

* Cholesterol (blood lipids): Cells divide and mulitply in the presence of too much insulin. Insulin resistance requires the body to produce to much insulin. A common definition of cancer is cell division that is out of control. In addition, many other problems are caused, all adding up to premature aging.

The more insulin in the body, the faster the body ages is the result of study after scientific study.

An immediate step that can be taken to lower insulin levels is to change your diet. The second step is to exercise (the benefits of exercise regarding insulin levels are so extensive that they need to be the subject of another article).

I know this isn't easy news. However, because your automatic systems can no longer regulate insulin properly, it's important to do it yourself. If you don't, you hasten a slow, painful, early death.
