Understanding the root cause of Type 2 diabetes and the changes in the body due to diabetes is important for the prevention, treatment and possibly the reversal of diabetes and eradicating this lifestyle related disease. Lifestyle associated change in body composition with an increase in fat mass to lean mass ratio and an increase in essential fatty acid omega 6 to 3 ratio in the body has a major role in increased incidence of all types of diabetes. This root cause is related to a group of lifestyle related diseases where presence of one may indicate the presence of one or more of the others.

Diabetes Type 2 develops slowly and requires active patient lifestyle correction for best treatment.

Type 2 Diabetes-:

• Early stage development: Type 2 diabetes starts with weight gain and accumulation of excess fat mass in the adipose tissue, especially as abdominal fat or protruding tummy. Those who have a family history will be more vulnerable.
• Immune system derailment: Excess fat induced excess inflammation weakens the immune system and initiates an autoimmune process. If the excess fat store is in the form of omega 6 fat and trans fat the inflammatory response will be more.
• Autoimmune antibodies act against the insulin receptors which results in insulin resistance. To overcome this insulin resistance pancreas produce more insulin leading to hyperinsulinemia.
• When the pancreas is not able to produce sufficient insulin to overcome the insulin resistance, blood sugar and HbA1c starts increasing and progresses to Type 2 diabetes.
• When the disease progresses the autoimmune process may affect the islet cells and destruction of the islet cell as in type 1 diabetes complicates the situation further, blood sugar control becomes more difficult and patient start losing weight.
• There is no deficiency of insulin in Type 2 diabetes, instead the insulin level in blood is high. Hyperinsulinemia promote sodium retention leading to hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
• Risk of high glucose and high insulin: Comorbidities of Type 2 diabetes are contributed by two factors the excess glucose related cell damage and excess insulin related endocrine dysfunction.
• Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) inside the cells and in the intracellular fluid damages all the body parts and speed up the aging process.
• Excess glucose acts as a toxin to all cells: The toxic impact is more on the blood vessels, especially the arteriolar lining cells resulting in compromising the oxygen and nutrient supply to cells and removal of metabolic waste from cells.
• Cells of nerve system, retina of eye and glomeruli of kidney are most sensitive to the changes in oxygen and nutrient levels and are worst affected by uncontrolled diabetes leading to neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy.
• Super Hyperinsulinemia: In Type 2 diabetes, insulin injections and drug induced super hyperinsulinemia initiate other endocrine dysfunctions leading to infertility, hypertension etc
• Oral drugs used for increasing the production of insulin and increasing insulin sensitivity put strain on immune system and excretory organs, and can contribute to the comorbidities of diabetes.
• Insulin or the drug induced hypoglycemic attacks can negatively affect the cognitive ability, intelligence and memory of the patient.

Treatment challenges

The individual’s awareness of health optimisation can change diabetes Type 2 management from medicine and insulin dependent to lifestyle dependent.

Challenge in medical treatment

In diabetes Type 2 it is to optimise health to stop insulin and medications, protect against organ and tissue damage and be able to integrate health care to provide the desired quality of life. This is most important as a host of other tissue and organ problems can develop if health is not optimised.

Treatment objectives

In treating diabetes Type 2 often the real treatment is removing the root cause and optimising health. This will make medication and insulin unnecessary. This is the best response for preventing further deterioration and also prevent damage to other organs and tissues.

Generally the individual will be having relatively poor health but this may be concealed by overweight and obesity. This increases the role of health optimisation to improve the overall health of the individual.

Improves quality of life

Total health improvement overcomes excessive hunger, thirst and fear of hypoglycemia apart from other serious and silent health challenges.

The goal of cell activation treatment is optimization of health and not just control of blood sugar. Cell activation treatment focuses on optimal functioning of the body at a cellular level including all 50-70 trillion cells of the body. So while controlling elevated blood sugar it simultaneously correct, elevated insulin level, elevated triglyceride level and many other blood parameters too. Likewise while controlling and possibly reversing diabetes with cell activation will help to control and possibly reverse other health issues like obesity, hypertension, arthritis, allergy, asthma, psoriasis, eczema etc too.

• Ability to stop insulin and medications: Cell activation controls not only hyperglycemia but also control hyperinsulinemia of Type 2 diabetes and also avoid medication induced super hyperinsulinemia and its associated health issues.
• Insulin and diabetes medication can be stopped on day one of starting cell activation. There is no possibility of side effects as there are no drugs or surgery involved.
• No fear of hypoglycemic attacks: Patient is free from hypoglycemic attacks from day one onwards, as there is no insulin or oral hypoglycemic medicines. Hypoglycemic attacks occurs as a result of diabetic medication not due to diabetes.
• Glucose tests for confidence: Blood sugar level will start coming down within hours and can be get normalised within a few days. The effectiveness of the treatment can be assessed with a blood sugar test before starting treatment and 2 hours after first dose of optimized nutrient food.
• Overcome hunger and food craving: Normalisation of hyperinsulinemia will help to control hypertension, obesity, appetite and craving for food, fatty liver, etc.
• Prevent tissue damage: Normalisation of blood sugar will slow down / arrest /reverse diabetes associated vessel damage, nerve damage, heart disease, stroke, diabetic foot, neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy.
• Prevent organ damage: Improve kidney function and liver function, reverse fatty liver, reduce elevated blood triglyceride, uric acid, liver/ pancreatic enzymes level etc.
• Prevention of array of associated health conditions: Helps to recover from other health issues like irritability, depression, constipation, piles, asthma, allergy, skin disease etc
• Improves strength and safety: Optimized nutrient food along with oxyflex stimulation increases muscle and bone mass, strengthens the body, improves flexibility and prevents falls and fractures.
• Health optimisation improves well being and confidence: Helps to reduce weight in overweight and obese and help to regain body shape, beauty, strength and youthfulness.
• Reverse accelerated aging: Reverse the accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) inside the cells and in intracellular fluid and help to keep metabolic age below chronological age.
• Skin and limb care: Optimized nutrient skin care nourishes and protects the skin and feet, helps in prevention and healing of ulcers and delays aging signs like wrinkles and dryness.

Patient options

The informed patient is the key to treatment success.

• Cell Activation Program (CAP) is normally a 3 month Outpatient Program for Health Optimisation. However depending on individual requirements the duration may be extended depending on the health challenge and the extent of improvements required in body parameters. An initial evaluation visit is essential and follow up visits vary case by case.
• You have diabetes Type 2 symptoms or you suspect so please get a check up and follow up at the earliest to prevent the progression of the disease and other associated damage.
• You have diabetes Type 2 you should be watchful regards other lifestyle diseases as well.
• You are diabetic Type 2 and you want to check out how you can benefit from optimising health with Cell Activation you can call / fix an appointment at Life Care Centre.
