There are 2 major types of diabetes corresponding to unique set of causes.
Type 1 Diabetes is a congenital condition which can either be detected as early as within a few days or weeks of birth, or it can manifest in adulthood. In this condition the body fails to produce insulin which ensures proper absorption of glucose in cells. The patient must be administered insulin as it is not produced by the body.
Type 2 Diabetes is the other, more prevalent kind of diabetes. It has a wide variety of causes that range from genetic predisposition to dietary habits and even chronic stress. In this type of diabetes, insulin is produced by the pancreas but isn’t received by the cells, leading to malabsorption of glucose and high blood sugar levels.
Both the types of diabetes can be diagnosed by measuring Hemoglobin A1c levels, which indicate an average measure of blood sugar levels for the past 2-3 months.

Conventional medicine works to alleviate the symptoms rather than the root cause of any disease. Faced with a lack of in-depth understanding of the disease, most patients have to remain on
medication which progressively increases, leading to loss of productivity and poor quality of life. Skyrocketing medical expenses do not help the case either. Not hitting at the base of disease can also inevitably lead to more serious complications such as nerve damage, loss of vision, renal failure and liver diseases. This course can help in reducing your healthcare costs and actually
address the underlying cause of the disease, leading to
long term health and possible reversal of effects.
Unlike handing you bare information and no insights, this course seeks to
empower you by helping you understand the nuances of useful markers like Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, Carbohydrate Density and Blood Sugar Dysregulation, so that you can
become an authority on your own health and well-being. By availing this unique, integrative wellness course you can get an in-depth understanding of your body, the disease affecting you and its remission and even complete recovery. It will aid your efforts to return to a healthy state with renewed energy, enthusiasm and peace.
