Insulin resistance in the brain is at the heart of type 3 diabetes research. When your brain stops responding to insulin or using it well, this could set the stage for many of the same issues as above, like inflammation and blocked nerve communication. Poor brain insulin use may also increa...
There are three types of diabetes. Understand important diabetes information from the different types, the causes and the symptoms.
I'm asked all the time what the difference is between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. I'm a Type 1 and I wear an Insulin Pump that pushes insulin into my system 24 hours a day. Sometimes folks will say, "Oh, my uncle has diabetes, he got it when he was fifty" and assume it's ...
So the process of developing type 2 diabetes can be recognized as a linear one over time: Insulin sensitivity is damaged first: Over time, a high carb diet causes the cells of the liver and muscles to become resistant to insulin’s message to store sugar. This is especially true of refine...
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that occurs when blood sugar (glucose) is too high. Glucose is the body’s main source of energy, and the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin converts glucose into energy. When the body doesn’t make enough insulin
As glucose levels rise, the pancreas responds by producing more and more insulin, but the cells are still insulin resistant. As this cycle continues, the pancreas exhausts itself, becomes damaged, and reduces the amount of insulin altogether. In the later stages of type 2 diabetes, you might ...
