Is Reversing Insulin
Resistance Possible? Patients with diabetes have many questions, but one of the more important questions that comes to mind seems to be, "Is reversing insulin resistance possible?" Insulin resistance can be defined as a complication that occurs when regular amounts of insulin are insufficient to create a normal insulin response from cells that absorb glucose (fatty, muscle and liver). If this condition continues undetected, then a multitude of problems can arise. If the body resists the insulin created in the body, blood glucose will elevate to a level that causes health risks (hyperglycemia). Management of diabetes and insulin resistance Insulin resistance is usually diagnosed in the pre-diabetes stage. At this point, the physician may prescribe certain medication that will aid in the management of insulin resistance or reduce insulin sensitivity. Medications include metformin, acarbose and actos. These medications are not useful in reversing insulin resistance, but elevate the sensitivity of organs to allow the glucose to pass. In other words, they create insulin sensitivity. Solutions Insulin resistance is more prevalent among individuals with type 2 diabetes. It has also been referred to as metabolic syndrome, and it has reached epidemic proportions in terms of adults affected with it. Reversing insulin resistance was not as hopeful in the past, but new methods have made it more of a reality for individuals than a dream. Chinese healing methods Traditional Chinese methods work to treat the surface issues along with the underlying causes of an illness. This can be done with the combination of herbs, holistic practices and physical treatment. One herbal medication that is on the market for treating insulin resistance is MetaPhase. MetaPhase was created to support healthy pancreatic function, glucose metabolism and energy production. The ingredients in Metaphase have been studied to effectively reduce blood sugar levels and aid the pancreas with healthy function. Physical activity (and weight management) If the symptoms of insulin resistance are in the pre-diabetic period, then it may be possible to reverse the issues before developing type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that individuals who effectively reduce their weight (change in diet) and incorporate a certain level of physical activity on a daily basis will lower the chances of pre-diabetes becoming diabetes. Even losing a small amount of body weight (5%) can lower the possibility of acquiring diabetes by as much as 50%. Physical activity can aid the body by making muscle cells more sensitive to insulin. Keep in mind that reversing insulin resistance can occur even if an individual has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. If steps are taken to make a change, then the situation can be reduced and/or changed. The key to reversing insulin dependence is the timing of the diagnosis. That is why it is imperative that people who are at risk to schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional to see what the risks are and what to do to prevent or reduce them. Once diabetes has been diagnosed, the complications and the health hazards become much greater than with pre-diabetes. Instead of becoming another statistic, take the measures of changing the issue before it becomes worse. Change the diet and exercise on a regular basis, even if it is only walking a few miles per day. . . Return to diabetes cure strategy |
