Insulin

[Burhani_]

Hello

I want to know that TYPE 2 DIABETES is insulin resistance(insulin produce but not work) then why some patients take insulin? because insulin is all ready in ther body

Type 2 is because of (1) Inadequate insulin production by pancreas or/ and (2) Body Cells not able to use the blood sugar adequately due to the nature of the disease itself.

The modern medical treatment aims at medicines both for whipping the pancreas to produce adequate insulin and also medicines that work in cellular level.

Due to whipping of the pancreas by medicines to produce insulin during the progression of the disease, the pancreas finally stop producing insulin gradually and finally coming to a halt. It no longer works.

Therefore all type 2' s are destined to get converted to type1 ultimately.

Type 2 is not a disease by itself and so it may not get cured by medicines.

It is a lifestyle disorder. Perhaps , we never followed the right kind of life style. Let us act now at least!

Change lifestyle, do exercise or brisk walk 2-3 times a day- aiming 10000 steps a day which means walking 30 minutes -3 times , remain active , avoid long sitting. Every one hour get up and walk a while at your office , home and wherever you can. Don't take a lift. Walk 2-3 floors. Take a walk to your nearby grocery store or a vegetable vendor. Take proper diet which does not call for insulin response, it could help minimising medicines . Never whip your pancreas by any means whether medicines or diet !

Doing excercise is generally good, but just following low carb diet is much more effective in keeping blood sugar under control

My endo said that by the time a person gets officially diagnosed with diabetes, they have already lost half of the insulin-producing beta cells in their pancreas. That means that that damage was done during the “pre-diabetes” stage, which is clearly a misnomer. The minute your blood sugars start rising above normal response levels, you are damaging your body. My a1c is now 5.9, but the neuropathy in my toes, caused by damage during this “pre” stage, is forever.
