Quantum Glycomics Theory of Relativity on Diabetes

Quantum Glycobiology aka Quantum Glycomics or QG works "out of the blue" without our knowing why or how. Einstein called quantum physics "Spooky action at a distance". This lesson connects some of the dots of QG for diabetes. After I studied Einstein's Theory of Relativity years ago, I had the audacity to write a response, The Theory of Irrelativity. Professional reviews of my QG Theory of Relativity are welcome.

In Quantum Glycobiology, we will use influences that traditional science discard as irrelevant. The tapestry of quantum fabric folded into the targeted sugar particles dramatically alters function and efficacy. Optimal efficacy manifests when all relative factors are in sync.

A Houston MD relayed to me an experience with a patient following a physical exam. Soon after, he conducted a second exam and said, "You responded quickly. How long have you been taking those?"

Blood Pressure, Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome

This week I am again writing about blood pressure, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Each week I see patients who have recently been examined by their primary doctors and are told that have findings of high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar or both. They are ill advised to return for followup in 8 weeks for a second test.

I am not suggesting that it is wrong to followup when you have such findings. It is however foolish to make no management recommendations and expect a different outcome on a subsequent visit. Often on the next visit medication will be prescribed as now there is a trend and not just a single visit finding which may have been just coincidence. It is necessary to show a trend vs. a single visit reading to prescribe drug therapies unless hypertension is severe.

Blood and Sugar - Your Circulatory System, the Highway of LIFE

The glucose spike is just the tip of the iceberg of the sugar problem. When your sugar is off, your health is off. Sugars determine everything about your body including your blood type. Your LIFE is literally held in the four parts of your blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and the plasma in which your life is suspended. Your circulatory system is controlled by sugars. Your OS is glycoproteins on the surface of your cells.

The highway of LIFE is literally your circulatory system made up of a vast network of pipe extending 50,000 to 70,000 miles. Your veins and arteries are the super highways and your capillaries are the back road vessels that take your blood and nutrients to the most remote regions of your body. Some lanes are so narrow that the blood cells must pass single file. The blood passes through your heart twice per cycle which takes about one minute to make the journey through your body.

Quantum Glycobiology Presents New Possibilities For Sugars And Diabetes

Quantum science deals with unseen factors that can generate tipping points, producing what we call, "anomalies". An anomaly is what people name something when they don't know what just happened. Something caused the tipping point which was not calculated into the equation and yet remains unexplained.

In the title of this lesson, "new possibilities for sugars" may be a misnomer in that the possibilities are not really new but our understanding what is happening and how to help make certain things happen ARE indeed new. Traditional physics deal with how things normally function. Quantum physics take into consideration those many unseen factors.

In biology, we witness life, the natural science of all living organisms. We study structure, function, and growth and all that make plants, animals and humans what they are. Living organisms consume and transform energy from various sources. Light influence on sugars is one factor we will discuss in just a moment.

Type 2 Diabetes - Is Your Waist Measurement The Reason You Have High Blood Sugar?

It is a well-documented fact most people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are either overweight or obese.

    in children, 95 percent are overweight or obese,
    in adults over 85 percent.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately one-third of adults in the United States, and 17.1 percent of children and adolescents in the United States, are obese.

What is the clinical version of what it means to be obese? As stated by the CDC, overweight and obesity are labels given when the range of weight for a given height is over and above what has been determined to be healthy.

Type 2 Diabetes - Does Weight Loss Affect Your Bones?

Being overweight or obese are often problems for most people who are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. These diabetics are usually told weight loss intervention can help to control the disease as well as prevent damage to their heart and blood vessel disease.

Unfortunately, heart attacks are a prime cause of death in middle-aged people with Type 2 diabetes. Fatality rates are two to four times higher than those of middle-aged people without diabetes. Recent studies reveal between 35 and 50 percent of heart attack victims had abnormal blood sugar at the time of the attack. People with high blood pressure are also at a higher risk.

Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco, United States, however, who are concerned weight loss programs could have complications, undertook a study to ascertain what effects, if any, weight loss interventions could have on the bones of people with Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes - The Importance Of Being Prepared With a Diabetic ID

Not everyone who has diabetes, especially Type 2 diabetes, is aware of it. Even though a diabetic who has been diagnosed has been informed, not everyone has. If you are diabetic, your friends and family might know, but what about the rest of society? How will they know you need assistance to re-establish ideal blood sugars? A form of medical identification would do the trick.

Make sure you have regular identification, medical cards, and medical ID before leaving home. This will do the talking for you if you are in an unplanned emergency and cannot speak for yourself.

Some people with Type 2 diabetes especially, refuse to carry a form of medical ID. It could be because they do not want to draw attention to the fact they have the disease. Some people are embarrassed by it, although they should not be.

Type 2 Diabetes - Does Lack of Exercise Affect Your Body?

A sedentary lifestyle has long been linked with an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Genetic inheritance causes Type 2 diabetes. However, factors such as obesity, lack of exercise, and sometimes the stress of surgery, interacts with your genetic risk to trigger this disease.

Not taking part in exercise or physical activity contributes to a lower quality of life and makes it more difficult for you to control both your weight and blood sugar. It is one factor that you can change immediately.

Researchers at the Centre for Exercise at the University of Bristol in the UK looked at sedentary time and periods of physical activity in relation to health factors in people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

Control Inflammation To Reduce The Risk of Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetic Complications

Inflammation And Type 2 Diabetes Epidemic

The latest diabetes statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention are alarming, disclosing that close to 26 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, of which about 7 million do not know they are diabetic. In addition, at least 79 million Americans have prediabetes, a state with an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes, the silent killer, is not a standalone disorder. It has far-reaching effects causing cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in industrialized countries.

Inflammation Plays A Key Role In Type 2 Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes - Understand the Basics

This type of Diabetes was most widely known as juvenile diabetes as is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Unlike other forms of diabetes, such as Type 2 diabetes where the body does not produce enough insulin, Type 1 diabetes is a result of the body producing no insulin. As a result the daily impacts and potential complications from this type of diabetes are much more serious and those diagnosed with this form of diabetes need to be vigilant in their monitoring and management.

First Some Type 1 Diabetes Statics....

Before we get into the weeds on the specifics regarding this type of diabetes let's revel some statics on the frequency of Type 1 versus other forms of diabetes. If you are concerned that your child is a candidate for this form of diabetes then these stats will help you rationalize the basis for your determination. 

Glucose Metabolism, Leukemia and Diabetes

Let us examine the relationship between the sugar load in the human body and Leukemia and Diabetes. Different sugars, both the good sugars and harmful sugars affect blood chemistry that can mobilize a cascade of problems or benefits in human health.

The sugars we eat and the nutrients we get help determine our health. Why are the highest incidences of cancer in western nations? The lowest recorded incidences of cancer according to WHO appears to be in the developing countries of Northern Africa, Southern and Eastern Asia.

Some people eat very poorly and then consume what may in reality be a type of antidote that keeps the bad stuff from doing as much harm. Studies provide data supporting the French Paradox which indicates that proanthocyanidins and other flavonoids in red wines prevents cardiovascular diseases and diabetes although they have high-fat diets.

Type 2 Diabetes - A Few Tips for Managing Blood Sugar Levels

Anyone who receives a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes very quickly learns how difficult it can be to live in today's modern world and also control their blood sugar. Aside from difficulties in choosing suitable foods when eating out, diabetics have problems managing their blood sugar levels in a number of different ways including when they exercise.

Here are a few quick tips to help you keep your blood sugar balanced and your insulin spikes reduced so you can enjoy a healthy, long life without any of those health complications you are told accompanies Type 2 diabetes.

Some people may tell you the first thing to do is to buy a blood sugar meter. You already know your blood sugar is high, so let's look at the food you should eat.

Know Your Diabetes Risk or Be One of the Six Million Who Don't

The American Diabetes Association says 6 million adults have type 2 diabetes and don't know it.

In the simplest terms, type 2 diabetes is a disease caused by too much sugar in your blood. The main cause is resistance of your muscle, liver and fat cells to the hormone insulin.

If your blood is tested for glucose and insulin levels and they are higher than normal, you are prediabetic. If the levels are a lot higher, you are a type 2 diabetic.

Type 1 diabetes comes from your own immune system attacking the beta cells in your pancreas. In infants and small children this happens quickly. But in a teenager or adult it can take years to lose all of your insulin-making beta cells.

Living With Diabetes - Great Foods to Eat

The belief that people with Diabetes are advised to have a restricted diet especially in terms of carbohydrates is a thing of the past. Today people with Diabetes live full and varied life, enjoy their food, and manage to control their blood glucose effectively.

"What can I eat? What should I avoid? "These are a few questions that always haunt a diabetic person. The answer lies in the fact that he can eat most of the foods that he used to eat, before getting Diabetes. Dietician Sherry Waldron says "you should never eat what you don't like."

The food that is eaten is mostly made up of;

· Carbohydrates: Sugar, bread/flour, biscuits, potatoes, pasta, rice, fruit, cereal, sweet corn, milk, and yoghurt.

Reasons Why Your Hands and Feet Tingle When You Have Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that is associated with metabolic disorders in the body, causing an increased level of blood glucose in the body. Diabetes is identified as a lack of insulin in the body, or as a resistance of body cells towards insulin. There are some parts of the body which do not require insulin for the transportation of glucose in the body. These are brain, nerve fibers, kidney, and retina. As the levels of glucose in the blood reaches alarming levels, these cells can function normally for some time as glucose still reaches them. With prolonged high blood glucose level, a toxic amount of glucose starts accumulating in these cells and gives rise to various long term diabetic complications. These complications are broadly classified as;

· Diabetic nephropathy

· Diabetic neuropathy

Living With Diabetes - How to Know If You Have Diabetes

If you have diabetes, then you need a thorough understanding of the disease to be able to live with it. For most of the people, Diabetes goes unrecognized as its early symptoms seem harmless. By the time your Type I Diabetes is diagnosed, you may have been living with insulin deficiency for some time and it may have already done a certain level of harm to you. People diagnosed with Type II Diabetes may not observe any symptoms at all!

If your Diabetes can be diagnosed in time, then there is no reason why (even the research asserts that) why the risks of developing diabetic complications cannot be minimized.

Basically, Type I Diabetes is an insulin deficiency which gives rise to high blood glucose levels in the body. Similarly, Type II Diabetes is due to low levels of insulin or a resistance of body cells to insulin which causes an increase in blood sugar. 

What To Do When Your Blood Sugar Is Too Low

Hypoglycemia or more commonly known as low blood sugar, is a common and dangerous problems faced by diabetics. The good news is that the symptoms revert back to normal once the blood sugar level is normalized.

A few facts

· A blood glucose level which falls below 65-70 mg/dl is considered as low blood sugar or hypoglycemia.

· 10 gm of glucose will raise the blood glucose level of an adult by 35 mg/dl and in children 1.5 gm glucose/10Kg body weight will approximately raise the blood glucose level by 35mg /dl.

· Glucose raises the blood glucose level within 15 minutes and the sugar level continues to rise for another 45-60 minutes.

Eating White Rice Ups Your Chance Of Diabetes

For those who enjoy white rice as a regular part of your diet... take note. A recent international analysis finds those who consume white rice regularly have a much higher chance of diabetes.

Researchers examined the results of four earlier studies carried out in the U.S., Australia, Japan and China. None of the 350,000 subjects participating in these projects were diagnosed with diabetes at the beginning of studies that lasted from between 4 to 22 years.

The team saw a strong link between regularly consuming white rice and the onset of type 2 diabetes, the link being greater in women compared to men.

Type 2 Diabetes - Exercise As Part of Diabetes Management

Exercise is one of the most important parts of a diabetic's lifestyle. There are three effective pillars in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes...

    diet,
    exercise, and
    medication.

And exercise is one of the main drivers.

People with Type 2 diabetes are no different to non-diabetics when it comes to excuses why they can't find time to exercise. While fitting exercise into a diabetic lifestyle might be difficult, it isn't impossible. You just have to be creative.

The Truth About Diabetic Drugs and Pancreatic Cancer

There is much evidence to consider the fight against diabetes the greatest battle that the human physiology will fight. Live an anti-diabetic lifestyle and you will lower your risk not just for diabetes, but also for most chronic diseases like heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, dementia and cancer.

However, mainstream medicine understands the concern about diabetes and has created a large arsenal of drugs designed to combat the elevated blood sugar associated with diabetes. But at what cost? Can diabetic drugs lead to more problems than the diabetic condition itself would have? And what is the truth about diabetic drugs and pancreatic cancer?

Of cancers, pancreatic cancer is clearly one that we do not treat well. 5 year survival rates are almost unheard of. This makes prevention of pancreatic cancer of the utmost importance. Ways to avoid pancreatic cancer have been well established in the medical literature and can include:
