When body does not manufacture enough amounts of insulin or does not properly use insulin, this condition named Diabetes.
If our bodies became insensitive to insulin, type 2 diabetes resulted. This cause our blood sugar goes out of balance. We knew that vitamins, minerals, various herbs and foods can support insulin sensitivity and its help maintain proper blood sugar levels.
One of herb well known helpful in blood sugar control by controlling sugar craving and nourishing the pancreas is Gymnema sylvestre.
Exercise also improving insulin sensitivity and help us to control weight and reduce body fat. Besides improving insulin sensitivity, exercise helps us to control our weight and reduce body fat, because weight control is very important aspect in maintaining insulin sensitivity.
Healthful diet is another important factor in maintaining proper insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels. The healthy fats contained in olive oil and fish help us to maintain insulin sensitivity.
Those methods we knew really helpful in promoting lower blood sugar level, maintaining insulin sensitivity and avoiding the complications associated with diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and results from insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes is also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. Type 1 and type 2 both are primary problems are the glucose/sugar levels of the body are too high.
In healthy person, a hormone called insulin produced in the pancreas by the beta cells in response to sugar in the blood.
A person with Type 1 diabetes can not make enough or any insulin. "Why doesn't the body produce insulin?"
In Type 1 diabetes the offender is the immune system. Instead of viewing the beta cells of the pancreas as "self", the immune system sees the beta cells as foreign invaders.
Doing what it's supposed to do, which is attack and destroy invading cells, the immune system in error attacks the beta cells. The speed at which the immune system attacks and destroys is too fast for the pancreas to keep out although other beta cells can be produced by pancreas.
In the end the amount of insulin produced in response to sugar in the blood is diminished, this result is high blood sugar.
Insulin shots can control the disease, however, there are currently treatments being studied which may in fact stop the immune system from attacking itself which would brings about a natural arrest to the problem.
