Information regarding diabetes and day-to-day living with the disease. HELP! According to G. Reaven, M.D., in the book called "Syndrome
X, The Silent Killer", published in 2000 .......
1/2 of ALL Heart Attacks are caused by Syndrome X 1/2 of ALL
patients who have High Blood Pressure have Syndrome X How to
know if you have this problem? * Get blood work done and check
the "Glucose Fasting Serum" ... the reference range on the lab
report usually shows between 3.3 to 6.1 mmol/L (or 60 to 108
mg/100 mL) for an adult. * If the result is HIGHER ... you are
at risk!!!!!!! * If the result is high ... check other results
on your blood work ... often you will see: * High triglycerides
* High cholesterol * High blood pressure What is Syndrome X?
(other terms include .... Insulin Resistance, Glucose
Intolerance, Hyperinsulinemia, Metabolic Syndrome, and
Pre-diabetes ... they all mean the same thing)
* The food we eat is broken down through digestive processes and
converted into "GLUCOSE" that travels in our blood stream
* The hormone "INSULIN" (produced by the pancreas) transports
glucose out of the blood stream into the cells where it is used
for energy or stored as fat * When insulin does not work as well
as it should at shuttling glucose into the cells, the individual
has "SYNDROME X". The pancreas then pumps out more insulin (as
much as 2x the normal amount) to compensate for the insulin not
working as well as it should.
* The problem then becomes high levels of leftover insulin
remaining in the blood stream after the extra load of insulin
has forced the cell doors open to allow glucose to enter.
These high insulin levels trigger .... * High blood
triglycerides * High cholesterol * High blood pressure * Low HDL
cholesterol * Weight gain * An overworked pancreas
Now you are on the path of an insidious progression from
pre-diabetes to HEART DISEASE, Type-2 adult-onset diabetes, and
a long list of other diseases as well.
