Diabetes Mellitus is a consequence of inadequate insulin production or abnormal insulin receptors. Without insulin or receptors that 'recognise' it, glucose becomes unavailable to most body cells.(Glucose is the bodies main nutrient fuel for the body, sugars and starches from carbohydrates). For this reason, blood glucose levels remain high, and large amounts of glucose are excreted in urine. Metabolic acidosis, protein wasting and weight loss occur as large amounts of fats and tissue proteins are used for energy.
Diabetes can be conquered, and the homeostatic balance of the amazing body can be returned, by clever use of food and a good lot of exercise, it can actually return the body to a healthy state.
