Diabetes is not about blood sugar!

Everyone thinks high blood sugar is what the disease is all about and it is NOT!!

Diabetes happens like this:

Too much food, mainly carbs and glucose derivatives like sugar, is consumed. This is relative to the amount and type of exercise that is done. (too much in and not enough burned)
This builds up over along period of time. Years mostly.
The cells throughout the body then become saturated with Glucose (stored) and often store it round the body as fat.
Glucose is continued to be consumed and is in the blood in high levels.
Insulin, whose job is to unlock a doorway into the cells to allow glucose in, gets released because there is too much glucose in the blood. Its supposed to get the glucose out of the blood, into the cells.
But because the cells are too full, the glucose cannot enter, and stays in the blood, and insulin keeps getting secreted. This then results in the pancreas packing up as well, and not being able to make insulin.
In the mean time the Glucose stays in the blood.
And that is why when you are tested for glucose it is ONLY AN IDICATOR for this process, it IS NOT THE DISEASE!!

HIGH BLOOD SUGAR IS NOT THE DISEASE, it is the effect of this disease process.

SO when you hear of people trying to keep the blood glucose from spiking in type 2 diabetics, its not a bad idea, but it is a temporary symptom fix to a much bigger problem.

If you have a look at this process described above. What would the clever things be to stop the DISEASE PROCESS??
