 Type 2 diabetics who receive insulin injections to control their blood sugar are more likely to suffer heart attacks, compared with people who do not get insulin injections. In a very real sense, insulin is both a growth and an aging hormone, essential to life in small amounts but harmful in excess.
Insulin also encourages the proliferation of cells, a process needed for normal growth and healing but also for the growth of cancers. High insulin levels are strongly associated with many different types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, the prostate, and the colon. |

 It is treated by insulin injections, and a diet overhaul and regular exercise are also recommended. With Type 2 the body can still produce some insulin, but not enough, or it produces insulin that cannot exert its effects due to insulin resistance. This type of diabetes is often linked to being overweight and usually appears in people over the age of 40, although it can affect younger people in the South Asian and African-Caribbean communities. Recently, more children are also being diagnosed with the Type 2 condition, some as young as seven. |

"Besides, if I become dependent on drugs and insulin injections, what message does that send to all the children?" he asked.
Santa was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes ten days ago by his personal physician, Dr. North, who explained that for too many years, Santa had been over-consuming cookies and milk left for him by well-meaning children and parents around the world. "Santa has a huge sweet tooth," Dr. North explained. |

 Hypoglycemia can occur before the diagnosis of diabetes, and during treatment with oral antihyperglycemic drugs or insulin injections.
38 Insulin induced neuropathy has been reported previously in people with diabetes treated with insulin, and subsequently reported in patients with insulinomas. However, neuropathy caused by rapid glycaemic control in patients with poorly controlled diabetes with chronic hyperglycaemia is not a widely recognised entity among clinicians worldwide. |

 Type 1 diabetics are dependent on insulin injections to control their blood sugar levels. The most common time for developing diabetes is during puberty, although it can occur at any age.
In type 2 diabetes, due to insulin resistance, the cells in the body are unable to obtain glucose that they need for energy. In Type 1 diabetes, the cells are also deprived of glucose, but in this case it is because insulin is not available. When cells are glucose deprived, the body breaks down fat for energy. |
| Neither the oral hypoglycemic agents nor insulin injections have any effects on increasing the uptake of glucose by the cells of the body. This essentially means that the diabetic patient cannot expect to improve or become cured by any of these treatments. On the contrary, the prognosis with this orthodox treatment is an increasing disability and early death from heart or kidney failure, or failure of some other vital organ. Research has in fact shown that diabetes drugs increase your risk of heart attack by a whooping 250 percent! |
| Broccoli and other vegetables, as well as regular full body exposure to sunlight (vitamin D-generating),40 have superior blood sugar-regulating effects than potentially dangerous insulin injections.
Abstaining from proteins foods, cleansing the liver of stones (gallstones are a leading cause of diabetes, see details in The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush), eating a balanced diet and living a balanced lifestyle as advocated in this book, are many more effective in restoring normal body functions than just trying to fix one symptom of disease. |

 If you have type 1 diabetes, you're dependent on insulin injections. Usually, people have an abrupt onset of symptoms, typically before age 30, although it can occur at any age. Type 1 diabetes is estimated to account for 5 to 10 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. (SUGAR SHOCK! does not discuss this type of diabetes.)

| There are more than 5 million Americans who take insulin injections every day, and Exubera may be an option for many of these patients. It will not replace all injectable insulin, but it's a highly innovative product that has the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans with diabetes."
"This is highly positive," says Dr. Robert Ra-paport, director of the division of pediatric endocrinology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. |

Finally—An Alternative To insulin injections! xubera, the first inhaled insulin treatment for diabetes, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), allowing millions of type 1 and type 2 diabetics the option of avoiding countless daily injections.
A NEW OPTION
Exubera is insulin that has been formulated into a dry powder that is inhaled into the lungs using a small, hand-held device. Like injected insulin, Exubera is administered before meals. |

 Because the body is still producing insulin, Type 2 diabetes can often be managed without insulin injections, through a combination of other medications, careful diet, exercise, weight loss, and blood sugar monitoring.
There is also a third type of diabetes, called gestational diabetes because it occurs in pregnant women. Gestational diabetes can be a temporary type of diabetes that tends to resolve itself after pregnancy. In the United States, it occurs in as much as 4 percent of pregnant women—some 100,000 expectant mothers a year. |

 Type-l diabetes most often occurs in people younger than age 30 and must be controlled with daily insulin injections.
Type-2 diabetes—Also known as NIDDM. A condition in which the body either makes too little insulin or can't use the insulin it makes to use blood glucose as energy. Type-2 diabetes has typically occurred in people older than age 40, but increasingly in children today, and can often be controlled through meal plans and physical activity plans. Some people with Type-2 diabetes have to take diabetes pills or insulin. |

| It requires multiple medications, possibly including daily insulin injections; blood-glucose monitoring equipment; frequent doctors visits; and, as complications mount, is likely to lead to surgeries (including open heart surgery or amputations), dialysis, and increasing disability As you can see, this progressive condition causes damage to the body in many ways.
The good news, if caught early, diabetes can be controlled without medications. |

 As for Stacey's doctor, the writers say that he or she "may be able to suggest an adjustment to her insulin injections on evenings when she is going out." On the other hand, Stacey's dietician "may be able to recommend certain foods Stacey should eat before going out, and snack foods or soft drinks that she could have while clubbing." Finally, "Stacey or her mother could leave a favorite snack conveniently by her bed for when she returns home late." And these words of wisdom end the section: "Parents should not relinquish responsibility for their teenage children's diabetes too soon." Indeed. |

 They are prone to develop diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemic coma from excessive exogenous insulin injections.
CAUSAL MECHANISMS
Genetics
Traditionally, Type I diabetes has been considered to be caused by a genetic factor that results in the destruction of the beta cells of Langerhans. However, this does not seem entirely true.
Viral Infections
Infections maybe the cause of diabetes mellitus. It was first reported in a Scandinavian study that two children developed diabetes mellitus after the mumps. |
| Afterwards, an increase in insulin injections was not needed after rigorous exercises.

 Strict glucose control involves at least three insulin injections per day, or the use of an insulin pump, plus frequent self-monitoring.
Q The FDA has approved pramlintide (Symlin), a new drug for people with diabetes who cannot adequately control their blood glucose levels with insulin. It is intended to be used along with insulin to help lower blood glucose during the three hours after meals. Pramlintide must be kept separately from insulin and never mixed, nor should the same syringe be used to administer both, to prevent alteration of the activity of the insulin. |

 One study investigated the effect of adding 100 meg per day of vitamin B12 (page 601) to the insulin injections of 15 children with diabetic retinopathy.16 After one year, signs of retinopathy disappeared in 7 of 15 cases; after two years, 8 of 15 were free of retinopathy. Adults with diabetic retinopathy did not benefit from vitamin B12 injections. Consultation with a physician is necessary before adding injectable vitamin Bu to insulin.

 Measuring C-peptide levels, a by-product of pancreatic insulin production, is an even easier way to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially in diabetics who are already taking insulin injections (see page 129 for further information). þThe rate of type 1 diabetes can increase dramatically when children in areas where type 1 diabetes is relatively rare move to developed countries. |
| With conventional, infrequent insulin injections, diabetics must structure their meals and other lifestyle aspects around their injections or face serious abnormalities of blood sugar. On the other hand, with intensive insulin therapy that relies upon very-rapid-acting, short-duration insulin, the timing and size of doses can be adjusted to suit the events of the day. |
| Basic Facts of Type 1 Diabetes þResults from damage to the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin þIs characterized by dependence on daily insulin injections to maintain blood sugar control þAccounts for somewhere between 5 to 10 percent of all cases of diabetes in the United States þHas peak incidence during puberty, around age 10 to 12 in girls and age 12 to 14 in boys. þHas a higher incidence in Caucasians than in other racial groups. |
