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.

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 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.

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. 

Type 2 Diabetes - Protecting Your Skin Is Vital

People diagnosed with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes often see an assortment of skin problems associated with their disease. But just because skin issues are prevalent with diabetes, it does not necessarily mean you will definitely acquire them.

But please be aware... healthy skin patches itself up rather quickly. If you notice a cut, sore, wound or blister that does not begin to heal after a couple of days treatment, please consult your pharmacist or doctor.

By far, the easiest and best advice that can be given for overall skin care is to keep your blood sugar levels within normal levels or the levels agreed to with your doctor. Yes, elevated blood sugar can negatively impact your skin!

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.

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.

Managing Diabetes Through Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is generally known for helping people who suffer from neck and back pain. Studies are increasingly showing that chiropractic care is also helping those suffering from a multitude of diseases. One such disease is diabetes and more people are becoming convinced of the benefits of seeing a chiropractor.

Diabetes is the fifth deadliest disease in the U.S. and it is a growing epidemic across the world. Approximately 8.3% of the population in the United States has been diagnosed with the disease and the number continues to grow.

With these numbers expected to rise, it's time for doctors and patients alike to take a serious look at alternate methods of treatment. Recent studies are showing that there is a connection between the spinal column and nervous system and blood sugar. These studies have demonstrated that chiropractic care given to patients with diabetes reported that the glucose levels in their blood and urine adjusted to normal levels.

Is Diabetes Really Something That Can Be Cured?

Diabetes is something that can be treated with therapeutic nutrition and that the chances of getting cured from this disease are directly proportional to the strict regime which should be followed.

For example changing only one of your meals is not going to help the overall production of the amount of insulin needed over a 24 hour period.

Vitamin supplementation is something that can and must be added in order to get the results that you seek when looking to making a change to the way that your body deals with its diabetes.

It is certainly advisable to notify your doctor about the specific changes that you are going to change. This is more important if you are on insulin as just taking an extra 500mg of Vitamin C can have a big difference to the way that your body deals with the little bit of insulin that it may currently produce.
