One million suffer from Insulin Dependent Diabetes and 12 million have Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes. Based on recent research, many more Americans are walking around undiagnosed. A recent hospital study found that as many as 40% of patients hospitalized had undiagnosed diabetes.

Statistics continue to demonstrate the increase of adult-onset non-insulin-dependent diabetes. It has now become epidemic among our obese, young population. As a result, we no longer use the definition of adult onset, but simply call it Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by abnormal glucose processing. It can be formally diagnosed through a blood test that measures both glucose and insulin levels after the administration of a sugar beverage called glucola.

This disease is characterized by elevated glucose after a carbohydrate meal. The response of the pancreas is an exaggerated production of insulin. The most important aspect of this condition is insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance means that the tissues refuse to accept the insulin command to absorb and utilize glucose. As a consequence of the high level of insulin and poor utilization of glucose, there is increased adipose tissue formation (fat accumulation). This creates a vicious cycle: more fat accumulation, more insulin resistance, more obesity and then more production of inefficient insulin. This overworks the pancreas and if the condition is not reversed it turns into low-production of insulin or Type 1 diabetes.

Risk factors include family history of diabetes, gestational diabetes, advanced age, previously impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. The most important factor remains obesity.

Race also plays a role. There is increased incidence among Native Americans, African-Americans and those of Hispanic origin.

Early symptoms of Type 2 the 3 P's:

• Polyuria (frequent urination)

• Polydipsia (excessive thirst)

• Polyphagia (excessive hunger)

Blurred vision, frequent yeast infections (especially in women) and skin infections (often fungal in nature) are other common symptoms. These symptoms can arise slowly and are often attributed to other preexisting conditions.

Complications of diabetes include: arteriosclerosis, vision problems, kidney dysfunction, stroke, neurological problems, heart attacks, impaired healing and severe infections.

TREATMENT PLAN:

In the early stages of diabetes, diet and exercise are the first line of defense.

A tailored plan should be made for each individual patient, and blood sugar can be monitored in the home and/or at follow-up visits.

Supplementation with nutrients as found in our NEW Gluco Formula is of extreme importance to assist in sugar regulation and pancreatic support. These nutrients do not replace the need for medical treatment and supervision. 

If you are currently taking medication, the use of NEW Gluco Formula might reduce the amount needed, but it cannot be used as a substitute unless it is determined by a medical provider.
