Diabetes Surgery
It may be the closest thing to a cure for type-2 diabetes–gastric bypass surgery, currently done only for major weight loss. But one surgeon hopes to prove that a similar surgery could help non-obese diabetics. This ScienCentral News video introduces us to one diabetes patient who’s determined to have the surgery.

Dr Whiting on Diabetes and Hypoglycemia
There are many potential complications from diabetes, including neuropathy, amputations, increased cardiovascular risks, kidney damage, cholesterol elevation and heart attacks. Neuropathy is the destruction of nerve endings, mostly in the hands and feet leading to numbness. Over time circulation may be impaired, reducing the bodys ability to heal wounds of the extremities. This circulation damage can systemic, affecting the entire arterial and venal systems. One of the most damaging diabetes side effects is to the kidneys. Over time, elevated blood sugar and insulin levels can damage kidneys beyond repair. The majority of amputations performed in all hospitals are directly related to diabetes. Diabetes so damages the circulation that even the smallest wounds can fail to heal, leading to amputations. Almost every diabetic has problems with cholesterol elevation. This is due to the diseases effect on the liver. Elevated cholesterol and diabetes is caused when the liver becomes toxic, from free radicals, and can no longer regulate cholesterol levels. Type II diabetics are also at a much higher risk for heart attacks. All of these complications can be greatly reduced or even eliminated by gaining control over blood sugar and insulin levels. The symptoms revolving around both diabetes and hypoglycemia are often referred to as syndrome X. These include elevated cholesterol, blood pressure, and often a severe overweight situation. When excess insulin is produced its primary function is to convert blood sugar to stored energy called triglycerides, which are then deposited in the fat cells. Elevated triglycerides are also a sign of syndrome X. By controlling insulin levels and insulin receptor site function, we can control all of the other side effects of the condition often referred to as syndrome X.
Diabetes and weight gain are almost synonymous with each other. This is a result of severe carbohydrate intolerance. In fact moderate to severe obesity is a classic sign of syndrome X or insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when insulin receptor site cells become desensitized to the action of insulin, requiring more and more insulin to convert blood sugar to its stored forms. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and results from the same basic problems of insulin excess. In these individuals, the excess insulin is lowering the blood sugar levels too far resulting in weakness, shakiness, confused thinking, etc. Significantly low blood sugar can be very dangerous and even fatal.
This is key in any natural diabetes management programThe last phase of a natural approach to diabetes and other glucose metabolism disorders such as hypoglycemia and obesity are key targeted nutrients, which have been shown to both lower insulin levels and increase insulin receptor site function. Natural nutrients such as Chromium, Vanadium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, Syzgium, Hydroxycitric Acid, in the right combination and ratios have shown to be very effective in managing all disorders of glucose metabolism even PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). This is a significant part of our natural diabetes management. Chromium has long been used to lower insulin levels by its effect on sparing blood sugar. Vanadium or vanadyl sulfate, has been clinically shown to increase insulin receptor site function by as much as ten-fold. Other herbal extracts such as Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, and Syzgium, each contributes a positive effect on both blood sugars and insulin production. Hydroxycitric Acid another ingredient we often use, helps the body to better utilize blood sugar for energy. It is often added to weight loss formulas as a result of this action. Through the addition of key nutrients such as Chromium, Vanadium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Cinnamon, Gymema Sylvestre, Bitter Melon, Syzgium, and Hydroxycitric Acid, together with regular exercise and a diet that strictly controls carbohydrate intake, controlling diabetes naturally can frequently be realized.
Carbohydrate intolerance affects millions of people contributing to such conditions as type II diabetes, hypoglycemia and much of the obesity found in industrialized nations. By controlling carbohydrate intolerance, we can conquer most of the epidemic numbers of these life-threatening health challenges.
