Despite messages we receive from conventional medicine, even Diabetic Living magazine (complete with enticing cover photos of cakes, cookies and other sweet treats), diabetes is a gravely serious diagnosis and should be treated as an emergency.  It’s a death sentence, but a sentence that you can reverse in the case of Type 2 diabetes, and manage in the case of Type 1 diabetes.  How?  By using information, education, and a steely resolve to not “live with” diabetes.  You’ll often hear diabetics refer to “my diabetes” as if they own it.  Let’s think and live differently!

Today on KC Craichy’s SuperHealth Podcast, learn the important distinctions between pre-diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and the newly-coined Type 3 diabetes.  Also, you’ll learn steps you can take today to help your body reverse diabetes or prevent you from becoming a diabetic statistic in the first place.

The five minutes you’ll spend with today’s episode may literally save your life or the life of someone you love.  Please consider forwarding this episode to a friend or loved one today.  Click on the podcast button below to listen or download.

Most of the carbohydrates we eat in “natural foods” are made up of a combination of sugars, including glucose and fructose. As I’ve stated, when glucose enters the bloodstream, the body increases its production of insulin to help regulate the sugar in the blood so it can be taken to cells and used for energy. This infusion of sugar also increases the production of the hormone leptin (as discussed earlier), which regulates the body’s appetite and fat storage, and decreases the production of the hormone ghrelin, which helps regulate your food intake.

Fructose, on the other hand, is processed in the liver. When too much fructose enters the liver, and it can’t be processed fast enough for the body to use as sugar, it uses the fructose to produce fats that get sent into the bloodstream as triglycerides. As we’ll see, this produces a cascade of bad effects in the body. High blood triglycerides put us at risk for heart disease, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Another significant issue with fructose is that it can result in glycation at as much as 10 times the rate of glucose or sucrose.
