Reversing type 2 diabetes – A Simple Approach Source :  Type2Health LinkedIn Type 2 diabetes is not a life sentence – it can be reversed with the right approach. The key lies in addressing the root cause: insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when certain cells in your body become less responsive to insulin. This condition is often accompanied by excessive insulin levels in the bloodstream, known as hyperinsulinemia. When your insulin levels remain consistently high, it’s typically due to excessive glucose in the blood. Insulin is released as a response to the presence of glucose, so the more glucose you have, the more insulin your body produces. To reverse type 2 diabetes, the focus should not be solely on lowering glucose but on reducing insulin levels. Here’s how you can achieve this: 1.

Medications that lower blood sugar in Diabetes type 2 – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Website: www.Doctorharold.com “Insulin is not a cure for Diabetes; it is a treatment. It enables the diabetic to burn sufficient carbohydrates so that proteins and fats may be added to the diet in sufficient quantities to provide energy for the economic burdens of life.” – Lee Haney. The blood sugar level when checked up randomly in a normal person is less than 140 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/L. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours of having your meal, means you have diabetes. A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes. Regardless of when you last ate, a level of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L ) or higher suggests diabetes, especially if ...

What is the significance of the HbA1C Test? – by Dr harold Gunatillake Transcript: It’s one of the commonly used tests to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes and is also the primary test to help you and your health care team manage your diabetes. Higher A1C levels are linked to diabetes complications, so reaching and maintaining your individual A1C goal is crucial if you have diabetes. Sugar (glucose), a primary source of energy to your body, floats in your blood from the carbs you eat, like fuel needed for energy to run your car. The levels fluctuate every minute of your lifetime. Still, the body maintains a normal range through the secretion of two pancreatic hormones, insulin and glucagon. Insulin is released when the glucose level in your blood rise, and glucagon is released when your blood glucose level falls, causing the liver to release stored glucose as glycogen into the ...
