Understanding the potential causes of diabetes can help you prevent it in the future. For those already living with diabetes, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify how to best manage your condition. Looking at the root cause is a classic Functional medicine approach to diabetes.
Diabetes is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
The most common form of diabetes is type 2, which occurs when your body stops responding to insulin the way it should. There are several reasons but inflammation is a primary culprit.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when your immune system attacks the cells in your pancreas that produce insulin. Without proper amounts of insulin your blood sugar skyrockets.
Conditions like Cushing syndrome or acromegaly can cause hormone imbalances that trigger insulin resistance. Insulin resistance also increases during pregnancy as the placenta releases hormones that trigger insulin resistance.
Physical damage to your pancreas not caused by an autoimmune disease can cause health problems, including type 3c diabetes. Unlike Type 1 (autoimmune) or Type 2 (primarily insulin resistance), Type 3c is a structural/functional pancreas failure problem.
Diabetes can develop as a result of certain genetic mutations.
Symptoms of diabetes can vary in type and severity. Some of the symptoms that benefit from an assessment at The Energy Remedy include:
WHAT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE THERAPIES ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITH DIABETES?
Functional medicine approaches to people with diabetes are lifestyle and nutritional supplement oriented.
The Energy Remedy offers different types of therapy, each serving a different purpose. Some of the solutions you may be recommended include:
Cardiovascular exercise and some level of weight training can improve your physical health, mental health, reduce your risk of chronic diseases, and help balance your mental health.
Stress is a common cause of illnesses in the body. Learning techniques for stress management can help restore your health.
Nutritional deficiencies and food intolerances can cause a variety of problems. Improving your diet and eliminating certain foods can alleviate those conditions. This is a classic functional medicine idea.
Improper sleep can cause problems in the body and mind that impact your health. Without restful and regenerative sleep it’s very difficult to heal from any health condition.
The primary cause of diabetes is insulin resistance, resulting in an inability for your body to process sugar correctly.
People experiencing hyperglycemia will have excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, and an urge to urinate more frequently than usual.
While it is uncommon for diabetes to be cured, it can be managed, and type 2 diabetes can, in some cases, be reversed where they manage to achieve normal blood sugar levels without medication. The best way to do this is a functional medicine approach for diabetes.
People can identify if they have diabetes by the following symptoms: frequent urination, excessive thirst, extreme hunger, fatigue, and slow-healing wounds. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you may have diabetes and should speak to a health care professional immediately.
