   Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism. it is also known as an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Pancreas is an organ located just behind the stomach. It produce the right amount of glucose. Pancreas ensures and maintains a constant level of glucose.

   The glucose levels in the blood stream make the pancreas release just the right amount of insulin thereby maintaining an even amount of glucose at all times. Whenever the glucose levels in blood stream rises, the pancreas receive a signal to release insulin.

   Mostly, insulin resistance causes abnormal pancreatic functioning. One of the first causes of diabetes is wearing out of pancreas in its attempt to lower blood glucose levels by producing increased amounts of insulin. A diabetic suffers because failure of pancreas to produce insulin which result in rising of blood glucose level above normal conditions.

   Due to insulin’s inability to open cells for glucose to leave blood stream, glucose starts building up in tissues like kidneys, eyes, heart and around nerve endings which leads to serious long term and short term complications. Thus the proper functioning of pancreas plays an important role in warding off diabetes.

17 04 2010

   Also known as coenzyme, Q10, it is a naturally occurring compound found in every cell in the body. It is found every where and in each cell of the body knwon. It is a substance that is made in our body and is essential for good health. It is specifically found in mitochondria which are the powerhouse of a cell. it is used to produce ATP which cells use to derive energy.

   It is found in certain foods like fatty fish. In diabetics, since the glucose levels are high, mitochondria in each cell can’t handle such higher levels of glucose and due to this, energy production stalls.

   The availability of COQ10 limits the speed at which glucose can be processed into energy by cell. In absence of COQ10 the energy causes oxidation inside mitochondria. This oxidation causes depletion of some important antioxidants which causes more complications. Thus COQ10 acts as an antioxidant.

   Supplements of COQ10 have been observed to improve blood sugars levels among diabetics because of its ability to produce energy and serves as alternative medicine for diabetes. Although research suggests that it can be a natural cure to manage diabetes, the cost of COQ10 maybe prohibitive for some diabetics.

Animal vs Plant Insulin

14 04 2010

    We all know by now that insulin is a hormone secreted by pancreas and it is essential for regulation of glucose in the body. However, diabetics face a lot of problems regulating their glucose levels since their body doesn’t produce enough insulin. This leaves a diabetic with the only choice of combating diabetes through alternative medicine approach which translates to insulin shots.

   This insulin medication is obtained from animal insulin. Early animnal insulin was effective but their absorption profiles were far from prefect. Their ability to induce an immune response was also debatable. The highly purified animal insulin was effective in treating diabetes, however their reduced immune response resulted in faster and shorter actions. Thus the effect was for a short span of time.

   Plant insulin comes from genetically modified plants and provides a natural cure. Unlike the animal insulin, it is consumed in its raw state or in the from of pills. The animal insulin is designed to enter the blood stream directly through shots given to a diabetic. Plant insulin is an alternative means of reintroducing insulin hormone to the body.

   Since the plant insulin is a result of genetically engineered hormone into the plant cell, it is aimed at long term benefits. These benefits are prevention of insulin degradation. The main difference being that animal insulin aims at short term benefits where as plant insulin is emerging as an alternative therapy to combat diabetes effectivity and would reap long term benefits.

   The benefits of exercise in terms of fitness and staying healthy are well known to diabetic as well as normal people. In case of a diabetic exercise plays an important role in regulating the insulin within the body. When a diabetic person works out, his body doesn’t readily release insulin from the pancreas due to a drop in glucose levels.

   This self regulation of insulin due to exercising reduces a diabetic’s dependency on insulin injections. Thus the right combination of exercise and nutrition can be an alternative medicine to cure diabetes.

   Regular exercise over a substantial period of time is known to reduce overall insulin requirements in a diabetic. Besides this, as muscles become trained due to regular exercise they improve their internal storage of glucose, which feeds back into the amount of glucose demand during exercise and thus controls the entire cycle and reduces insulin dependency in a diabetic.

   Insulin is also known to maintain glucose levels within circulatory systems. Unregulated glucose levels are known to cause serious life threatening situations in case of diabetics suffering from diabetes mellitus. These insulin levels can be controlled though exercise and as a natural cure they can be beneficial in managing diabetes.

It claims to target the root of diabetes and claims that it is a hypoglycemic agent. It contains all natural igredientss which it mild and effective.

   Since it targets natural cure, it doesn’t contain chemically generated compounds, fillers ot artifical additives and thus is different from other pharmaceutical medicines. FDA has approved of diamaxol as a supplement and not a medicine, since it cannot claim to cure diabetes.

    Though Diamaxol claims to be a natural cure an alternative medicine to reverse diabetes amongst diabetics, there seems to be feelings about this supplement. Some diabetics praise it for lowering their blood sugar without changing their diet and exercise. While others claim that exercise, nutrition and lifestyle changes is the only healthy way to maintain blood sugar levels and take control of diabetes.

   Most online reviews support Diamaxol, however a few refute its claim that it cures diabetics. One of the major complaints that cause diabetics to disapprove.
