Another Diabetes Study Shows Lifestyle Changes Equal or Surpass Diabetics Using Medication For Control of Blood Sugar Life Style Changes Proven To Lower Contracting Diabetes More Then Half

"Based on the research and information I have on Diabetic Life Style Changes January 07 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright ©2007

This diabetes type two, is the most common form in which either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin and or both.

Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use sugar and with Insulin resistance build up the ever higher level of insulin required starts to do body damage causing other illness.

Many of these recent Diabetes studies have shown that what we have contended all along is that you can equal or exceed the use of diabetes medication and if non diabetic prevent insulin excesses by making major life style changes.

Blood sugar is the basic fuel for the cells in the body, and insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells.

This recent Diabetic study in Britain reviewed studies that measured the effects of different interventions - lifestyle, diabetes drug and anti-obesity drug - on people with what they call "impaired glucose tolerance,"

Impaired glucose tolerance means they had high blood sugar, and it was requiring high insulin from the pancreas to control it.

What most do not realize is that most diabetics do not have impaired insulin production, by the pancreas, in fact most have three or four times the normal insulin production, the problem is most often the cells have become so resistant to higher and higher blood sugar the levels required have finally gotten so high that the pancreas can not keep up.

Here they again found that on average lifestyle changes helped to reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by around half or better.

Unfortunately those that have not yet developed diabetes are reluctant to make any life style changes, since they have in theory gotten away with the old life style for 50 years or whatever the situation is.

They also found that diabetics making major lifestyle changes to control their blood sugar levels without medication were also less likely to have adverse side affects common with diabetic medications.

We bring these studies up from time to time to verify that a big per centage of the diabetic population that have taken responsibility for their own diabetes and made major life style change and have gotten off all medication are doing well.

Recent statistics show that as a whole 2/3 of diabetics are NOT doing an adequate job of controlling their blood sugar either with medication or without.

We maintain that unless the diabetic works at it, diabetes progresses, and even with blood sugar under control it progresses but is drastically slowed.

You the patient need to be informed on what needs to be done and follow thru. Most want to sneak back to what they always did.

Keep in mind. A diabetic is like a smoker. Most are aware they are doing them selves in, but just have not getting around to doing what needs to be done.

Once damage is done and each little progressive damage adds up and is not reversible or at least is very difficult to reverse at all.

Man is a creature of habit and a life style that has been the custom for 50 years is very very difficult to change.

The smoker now KNOWS that stopping smoking can stop further damage but not undue what has been done.

The diabetic and potential diabetic now know that damage can be stopped.

They also know from these studies etc that trying to control it with synthetic chemical medications, have side effects.

These studies have verified that you CAN control blood sugar and STOP further damage and complications by making drastic life style changes and in so doing get off the need for medications that are likely causing new problems.

The problem we see is basically somehow to motivate you to make the change.

You find it almost impossible to get a long term smoker to quit... we find it is very difficult to get a diabetic to make the necessary life style changes PROMPTLY
