let us explore how you can understand Diabetes in your self your network and your pateints .... through functional medicine . addressing the root causes . In this book we explore , the three types of diabetes , what treatments are available and research to different diets and food to help you make informed choices about your lifestyle. For many years, researchers have discussed and investigated the issue of why people become type 2 diabetes. Dietary fats were cited as the disease's primary cause for a long time. Next, it was assumed that obesity was to blame (obesity and diabetes share so many common root causes that they are frequently referred to as "diabesity"). But it is now known that type 2 diabetes can develop even in people who are not obese. Today, we realise that there are numerous contributing factors to diabetes, not just one. Instead, a complex web of genetics, oxidative stress, and dietary and lifestyle factors govern the disease process. The Western diet, which is high in industrial seed oils, fructose, and refined carbs, is known to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes follows the Western diet everywhere it goes. For instance, populations of hunters and gatherers, like the aborigines of Australia, are often in good condition when consuming their traditional meals. However, when they are uprooted and relocated to metropolitan settings, they switch from their native diets to Western ones and rapidly develop diabetes. A sedentary lifestyle, insufficient sleep, persistent stress, gut problems, and environmental pollutants are also important contributing factors, therefore diet is not the only one. They increase cellular insulin resistance, induce oxidative stress, harm pancreatic beta cells, which are in charge of producing insulin, and prepare the stage for severe metabolic dysfunction. and we explore the question .... is dementia and Alzheimers related to diabetes ?
