Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition of blood sugar dysregulation and uptake. Most people are aware of two types of diabetes, but there are now four classifications: Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, and Type 3.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a condition developed by poor lifestyle habits over time. It is a condition where you will have insulin surges or spikes in relation to meals, and this excess insulin blocks the receptors designed to open and allow glucose (sugar) into your cells, this excessive insulin also leads to increased weight gain, and a host of other issues as well that stem from this.
Type 3 Diabetes
Type 3 diabetes is an extension of type 2 whereby the research now indicates that prolonged periods of insulin surges are leading to Alzheimer’s.
Type 1.5 Diabetes
Type 1.5 diabetes also known as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, it has some of the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes, but also is an autoimmune type of diabetes.
The flip side of these conditions is hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. If you get irritable, nervous, or have difficulty concentrating if meals are skipped, then you may be suffering from hypoglycemia.
Blood sugar regulation is another critical factor in proper brain health and normal cell function. If you are either a diabetic or pre-diabetic then it is imperative to get this condition under control. The American Diabetes Association says that irreversible damage occurs in the pre-diabetic stages. Diabetes is the number one cause of non-traumatic limb amputation, and those with diabetes are 40-60% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
