Is there an explosion in the occurrence  of Diabetes in our modern society?.

In order to look for a cure for diabetes we must understand what causes diabetes in the first place and then we can start to work on a cure.

Diabetes is an ailment that affects the levels of insulin in a person’s body. There are basically three forms of this disease and these are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. All these forms of Diabetes relate directly to the insulin levels and  how our body functions under this altered state.

Basic information on the Types of Diabetes

1. Type 1 diabetes

In this disease the individual’s auto immune system attacks and reduces the pancreatic beta cells from producing the necessary insulin for the body to function properly. When the pancrius is not functioning as it should  the production of natural insulin is reduced below optimum levels or is in fact stopped altogether which has dangerous  implications for other functions of the body.

2. Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.  It actually accounts for more than 90% of all cases of diabetes.  With this disease the body does not make or properly use insulin, a hormone that helps convert sugar, starches and other foods into energy.  Eventually a person’s body will stop producing insulin if they have this disease.  Unfortunately, it is not yet known why this happens.  However, genetics and environmental factors do play a role.  .

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes occurs only with women and only during pregnancy. Unlike Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes has no recognizable symptoms.  The only way to know if you have it is through regular blood screenings throughout your term.  These screenings are blood tests where you have to fast overnight, then are given a sugary drink to see how your body reacts.  You need two positive readings before you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Cures For Diabetes

For Gestational diabetes the cure is actually very simple. Since some hormones produced in a pregnant woman’s body promotes some tissues to resist insulin, the cure for diabetes in pregnant women is to give birth.  Your doctor will suggest a diet that will assist in keeping your blood sugars in check during your pregnancy.

However, doctors have no actual “cure” for diabetes types 1 & 2at the moments. What they do now to “cure” diabetes is to present alternatives to patients who suffer from this disease. As an actual cure for diabetes is not available there are however cures for the symptoms which are readily available.

For Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes, most doctors either recommend changing the patient’s diet and keeping a close watch or in more severe cases, injecting insulin into the body during times when it becomes too low.

Research is currently underway where  replacing the defective beta cells that produce insulin in order to refresh the pancreatic cells. This method of cure for diabetes is still undergoing experimental tests and has not been made available for public use.. So far, the research and studies have brought to light the potential problem of needing long maintenance medication in order to support the transplanted beta cells.

Although there is still a long way to go before any cure for diabetes can actually become a reality. With the rapid improvements in experimentation you should keep track of the progress that researchers and pharmaceutical companies are making towards finding a cure for diabetes.

While waiting for this cure for diabetes, you should keep healthy with plenty of regular exercise and a healthy natural diet keeping away from all those fatty, oily foods your body will be in good shape awaiting the day when the cure becomes a reality.

As more and more people realize that they aren’t receiving enough nutrition from their everyday meals, nutritional supplement manufacturers like Vitamin World (one of the oldest) have seen an increase in the demand for their products.

Who says you shouldn’t eat between meals? Time-honored admonitions to this effect turn out not to be true at all.

How can you make the limited calories of your reducing diet linger with you longer? Spread them out into five or even six meals a day. The break up of your diet into breakfast, lunch, and dinner is purely conventional. As long as you do not exceed your total calories, you can rearrange the order of the day’s food intake, and the frequency of eating, within wide limits.

Suppose you save a slice of toast and a piece of fruit for a mid-morning snack, some orange juice and a couple of soda crackers for 4 p.m., and a glass of milk before bedtime, subtracting these items from the other three meals of the day. What happens? You are more satisfied with your reducing diet, full of pep and ginger, rambunctious and rarin’ to go.

The direct relationship between food intake and muscular efficiency has  been  studied  by  Dr.  Howard  A. Haggard and Dr. Leon A. Greenberg of Yale University, among others. They recorded the results of frequent feedings on factory workers. Most accidents and errors in the factory were occurring shortly before noon and before the evening whistle. By the simple expedient of allowing the workers a mid-morning and a mid-afternoon snack hour, their output was surprisingly increased and there was a substantial drop in errors.

On such a schedule-and this is the part that will fascinate reducers-the workers were satisfied with smaller lunches and dinners.

Shortly after a meal, your muscular efficiency increases about 30%-that is, you are able to get more work out of the same amount of calories, or you are able to perform the same amount of work with less fatigue. Starches and sugars are most quickly converted into usable energy; hence the advisability of reserving sweetened fruit juices, toast, milk, or fresh fruit for your “extra” meals.

“But doesn’t my stomach need a rest?” you may be wondering. “Won’t five meals a day overwork it?”

Stomachs live to work. When they’re empty they invest their energy in hunger contractions as a signal for you to renew the supply of raw materials. Several light meals keep your stomach happy, whereas a large, heavy meal wins only a gastric groan. So important is it to keep an empty stomach from terrifying itself by its own voracity that a standard treatment for stomach ulcer calls for practically continuous milk feedings.

Many reducers are victims of the grand matinal delusion that they’re off to a splendid day if they confine breakfast to a cup of coffee. Perhaps they go lightly on lunch too, so by evening their appetite is way out of bounds and they stow away a lumberman’s dinner- at just the time of day when they need it least. Moreover, they have gone through the working day at a low pitch of energy, wondering why they’re tired out and “dopey” when the trouble simply is that they’re hungry. These remarks do not apply to overweight persons on short-term diets who have to cut down on calories all through the day.

Get up a little earlier, leave the dishes unwashed, take your shower the night before-anything to save time for breakfast. You are most rested and free from physical fatigue when you get up in the morning, but your muscular efficiency is at its lowest because it is 10 or 12 hours since you ate anything. A skimpy breakfast, except for short-term reducers, is an invitation to that tired feeling to dog you all day, with its unhappy by-products of jitteriness and irritability.

Let a couple of boiled eggs and maybe a slice of ham lick the no-breakfast blues. You’ll even find it easier to got along with your boss or your husband or wife.
