Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus type II can be reversed with the right lifestyle changes and supplementation. Type I can not be reversed at this time but with the right medical nutrition therapy and supplementation, you can significantly decrease the amount of insulin that has to be used on a daily basis. In type II diabetes, Allopathic treatments take steps to regulate the blood sugar, but it does not address what is causing the inefficiency of insulin action. In short, the answer simply comes down to Chromium, Vanadium, and other Trace Minerals, about 27 total. Without these minerals, the cell will not open up to bring in sugar to be metabolized, despite insulin attaching to the cell receptor. Insulin begins to accumulate in the blood and the blood sugar rises. This is known as insulin resistance. Nutritionally, it is best to avoid complex carbohydrates, fried foods, and meats with nitrates. I am a big advocate for a ketogenic diet for diabetics of the type II variety and taking blood sugar out of the equation as well as supplementing the essential minerals needed to help the body function Wholistically. I recommend considering a 10 week program to help guide you through the steps of reformatting your diet and changing your lifestyle habits.
