Diabetes, Insulin and Glucagon - How They Work

Over time, untreated type 2 diabetes can damage many of the body's systems. Two out of three people with diabetes die of heart disease. Having diabetes also puts you at risk for stroke. People with diabetes are likely to develop plaque in their arteries, which reduces blood flow and increases the risk of clots. This raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.

And doctors now believe that the production of excess glucagon could possibly be the result of a viral or bacterial infection inside the alpha cells of the pancreas where glucagon is produced - hence the current interest in studying honey as a curative because honey has been shown to kill certain viruses and bacteria.

Insulin is produced inside the Beta cells of the pancreas.

Glucagon is produced inside the Alpha cells of the pancreas.

This means that the proper condition must exist inside your pancreas to trigger adult onset diabetes. This condition is called oxygen-deprivation. When your body is oxygen deprived on a cellular level any opportunistic viral and bacterial infection can be triggered.

Additionally when adult onset diabetes is triggered- the body's immune system- which normally protects us from infections- begins to attack the beta cells of the pancreas.

The immune system believes that the beta cells are foreign to the body and starts to destroy them- causing a decrease in insulin production. And if those Beta cells are infected, indeed they are foreign and the immune system is just doing it's job!

It can take from a few weeks to a few years for all of the beta cells to be destroyed but your immune system will kill every single one of them eventually.

Don't be in the dark about how your body works. Right now while you are swallowing pills to treat a non-disease, diabetes is continuing to ravage your body, damage your organs and possibly shorten your life span unnecessarily!

Reverse your Type 2 Diabetes without risking your eyes, liver, pancreas or your life!
