Diabetes

Usually considered a sugar problem, we look at diabetes as also being an insulin problem. Insulin levels may be abnormal due to high Cortisol production in response to stress (adrenal gland), due to a diet high in simple carbohydrates/sugars and not enough protein, inability of the cells to recognize insulin (insulin resistance), nutrient deficiencies (like chromium), low thyroid function (hypothyroidism), or auto-immune (Type 1 and 1.5). The true cause of the diabetes needs to be identified before treatment occurs in order to get the best results.
