Would Your Doctor Take This Diabetes Drug?..
Would your doctor take Avandia for diabetes? I doubt it, especially since it could cause a heart attack.
A study found that people who took Avandia for at least a year increased their risk of heart failure or a heart attack by 109 percent and 42 percent, respectively. These numbers are alarming.
Thankfully this knowledge has lessened its use but simply switching to metformin may not be the answer either. Metformin is a drug that makes your body’s tissues more sensitive to insulin and it’s the drug of choice for type 2 diabetes.
This is unfortunate because type 2 diabetes is 100% avoidable and can be treated primarily through proper diet and exercise.
Type 2 diabetes stems from an insulin problem where leptin signaling is working as it should. Therefore, diabetes can be controlled by recovering your insulin and leptin sensitivities.
Sources like thi blog which is completely dedicated to weight related problems and cleansing can be a source of help for those that wish to normalize their weight and treat diabetes naturally.
Start by following these simple guidelines:
- Cut out or severely limit sugar and grains in your diet. Determining your body metabolic type is also important since you need to know whether you burn carbs or proteins best. Therefore, along with reducing grains and sugars, determining your nutritional type will give you some insight into what foods you should use to replace the grains and sugars.
- Exercise regularly. You cannot get away from it. Exercise increases the sensitivity of your insulin receptors, causing the insulin already present to work much more effectively, so your body doesn’t need to produce as much.
- Avoid trans fats. Today we are much more aware of trans fat dangers and many companies are removing it from their products. However these products are all processed and don’t need to be in your cupboard.
- Get plenty of omega-3 fats
- Get a good night’s sleep every night and natural adaptogens can really help in this area.
- Look to EFT for eliminating or dealing with emotional issues that lead to eating the wrong kind of food. EFT is easy to learn and quite effective. You can see the technique here.
Taking your life back can be hard work but aren’t you worth it?
Last in my look at what drugs your doctors would never take are those dealing with acid reflux. It seems that every 2nd person I meet is popping an antacid. Find out the solution in my next post.
