Can One Cure Type 2 Diabetes?

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders affecting a large number of people, particularly the Asian, African-American and the Native American population. As a matter of fact, diabetes is a health condition which impairs the ability of your body to process blood sugar. When talking about diabetes, there exist two types of diabetes, namely ‘Type 1 Diabetes’ and ‘Type 2 Diabetes’. And, ‘Type 2 Diabetes’ is known to be quite common.

Insulin hormone produced by the pancreas in the human body is responsible for mobilizing the glucose (transporting the glucose) into the cells so that it can be used for producing energy and performing daily activities. When the cells of the body are unable to use this insulin, the glucose remains in the blood and we experience high blood sugar level. This is also known as ‘Insulin resistance’.

At first, the pancreas tries to produce more insulin to get the glucose mobilized, but, eventually, it gets tired of it, and the sugar keeps building up in the blood.
