MYTHS ABOUT

DIABETES

डायबिटीज की

गलतफमियां

MYTH 1

Diabetes goes only with death …

one can never become free!

MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES

डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां

Truth 1

Diabetics do become free of insulin andmedicines permanently too!

We have over 9000+ free from insulin and 5000+ off tablets!!!

Truth 1

71 Intensive Program batches done.

81 Residential Program batches done.

169 Online Webinars done.

926 physical first sessions done.

Over 92469 participants have attended these programs!

MYTH 2

Diabetes is hereditary!



Truth 2

This is a partial truth.

Type 2 diabetes has a strong genetic link but the genes are dormant (not dominant). They activate only when one’s diet, lifestyle and stress switch them on.

These genes can be switched off once you change your diet, lifestyle and stress levels!

Dr Neal Barnard & Dr Gabriel Cousens

MYTH 3

Diabetics produce less insulin!



Truth 3

This is TOTALLY WRONG FOR TYPE 2 DIABETICS!

95%+ Type 2 diabetes have higher fasting insulin. (more than 4).

The problem is not insulin production but INSULIN RESISTANCE (action of insulin)!

Insulin Resistance

MYTH 4

Most important test for diabetes is Hba1c



Truth 4


Hba1c is the 3 month average of sugars so it is important. Ideally it should be below 5.7. For diabetics below 7 is good control.

Even more important tests than Hba1c are:

Fasting Insulin (should be between 2.6-4)

HsCRP (should be below 1). This conveys inflammation

Both the above help us understand INSULIN RESISTANCE which is more important than just tracking sugar levels through Hba1c

When we eat food!

There is increase in INSULIN

Which…

STORE SUGARS in liver

PRODUCE FAT in liver

Role of Insulin!

Insulin inhibits burning of fat (lipolysis)

Higher the insulin lesser the fat burning

Lower the insulin higher the fat burning

High Insulin causes…

Heart disease

Stroke

High Cholesterol

High blood pressure

Abdominal obesity

Fatty Liver

PCOD

Gout

Atherosclerosis

Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Sleep apnea

Cancer

Alzhiemer’s

FASTING IS THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE INSULIN!!!

MYTH 5

Diabetics should eat after every 2 hours.

And they should not fast!



Truth 5

This is partially true!

Eating in less quantity every two hours will keep sugars under control.

But the problem is rise in insulin repeatedly. Insulin will only reduce when the number of meals reduce.

Fasting in a scientific manner is recommended by us and has given immense results to many doctors/ therapists!

New way of looking at Insulin Resistance

A cell overfilled with glucose, spills it out of the cell, leading to increased glucose levels

If you give more drugs or insulin to stimulate insulin secretion, temporarily more glucose will be shoved into cell

Once natural limit is reached, even extra insulin will not be able to move more glucose in

Obvious Solution –Fasting/ Juice Feasting/ Intermittent Fasting!

To reduce toxic glucose overload –

First, stop putting excess glucose in your body. Low carbohydrate diet

Second, body needs to burn off excess glucose

So, Fasting is the obvious solution!!!

MYTH 6

If sugars are controlled by medicines / insulin there is no need to control your diet



Truth 6

This is TOTALLY WRONG!

All medicines have side-effects

With medicines/ insulin you are only stuffing more sugar and fat into cells which are already overloaded so the problem is only increasing

Long term complications also happen to people despite good sugar control

MYTH 7

Diabetics should not eat mangoes and bananas!



Truth 7


Bananas and Mangoes have medium Glycemic Index. They can be had once sugars are under control. All our diabetics eat them regularly!

More dangerous fruits are Watermelon and Pine apple

Glycemic Index

Glycemic Index

High-GI Foods (>70):

Watermelon (76)

Pineapple (59)

Low-GI Foods (<55):

Banana (50-55)

Mango (50)

MYTH 8

Sugar free sweets are fine for diabetics.These can be gifted to your diabetic family members, friends and teachers!



Truth 8

This is TOTALLY WRONG if the sweet contains MILK!

Firstly, Milk and all milk products contain IGF (Insulin like Growth Factor) which blocks insulin receptors for 48-72 hours. Insulin cannot open the locks and this causes a rise in sugars

Secondly, sugar free chemicals like sucralose, aspartame can severely damage your intestinal bacteria. These bacteria help in producing vital enzymes and vitamins useful in energy production. Also many of these are harmful chemicals and cause autoimmune diseases and cancer

Insulin Resistance

IGF from Milk and all Milk products

Gets stuck for

48-72 hours

Biggest Enemy

MILK

Deeper Solutions!

A cup of tea without sugar

Can increase next day fasting by

20 – 100 points

MYTH 9

Morning tea without sugar with 2 marie biscuits is necessary for diabetics

At night also diabetics should drink one glass of milk



Truth 9


As both tea and biscuits contain milk!

Secondly, tea, milk, biscuits are acidic in nature. They increase inflammation. This inflammation (which can be measured by hsCRP) blocks insulin action

Insulin Resistance

Acid and inflammation creates a swelling around cells. This interferes with insulin action

MYTH 10

Poha / Upma in breakfast are permitted for diabetics



Truth 10


Both Poha and Upma are refined food items.

Refined means without skin (chilkha).

Poha is white rice which is puffed

Upma is refined wheat

Both increase sugars very fast. This gets converted into fat. Whatever increases sugars fast increases acid and inflammation too!
