Cure for Diabetes

By: The Alternate Medic

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

Before looking for a cure for diabetes it is important to understand what the disease entails and how it affects the body.

When a person has problems with the level of insulin in their body they are suffering from Diabetes. There are three forms of this disease, being type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. They all relate directly to the insulin levels and how our body functions under this altered state.

Below is a basic overview on the three types of Diabetes

1. Type 1 diabetes

In this form of the disease the individual's auto immune system attacks and reduces the pancreatic beta cells from producing the insulin for the body to function properly. If the pancreas is not functioning correctly the production of natural insulin is reduced below optimum levels or is in fact stopped altogether, this can have dangerous implications for other functions of the body.

2. Type 2 Diabetes

Being the most common form of the disease, type 2 diabetes actually accounts for more than 90% of all cases of diabetes. This disease causes the body to stop making or properly using insulin, a hormone that helps convert sugar, starches and other foods into energy. Eventually, if a person is suffering from this disease, their body will stop producing insulin. Unfortunately, it is not yet known why this happens. However, genetics and environmental factors do play a role.

Gestational Diabetes

Thirdly, Gestational diabetes is only found to occur in pregnant women. Unlike Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes has no recognizable symptoms. The best way to know if you have it is through regular blood screenings throughout the term of your pregnancy. These screenings require fasting overnight before blood tests are taken, then you are given a sugary drink to see how your body reacts. Two positive readings are required before you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Cures For Diabetes

Luckily, 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 this form of diabetes is to give birth. Your doctor will suggest a diet that will assist in keeping your blood sugars under control during your pregnancy.

However, despite on going research, doctors have no actual "cure" for diabetes types 1 & 2at the moment. They currently present alternatives to patients who suffer from this disease. As an actual cure for diabetes is yet to be discovered, there are however, cures for the symptoms which are readily available.

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

There is current research underway to replace the defective Beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin in order to refresh the pancreatic cells. This proposed cure for diabetes is still undergoing experimental tests and is not yet available for public use. Results to date have brought to light the potential problem of requiring long maintenance medication in order to support the transplanted beta cells.

Even though there is a long way to go before a cure for diabetes is made available. it can actually become a reality. With the rapid improvements in experimentation you would be advised to 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.
