Diabetes

According to American Diabetes Association, there are 20.8 million children and adults in the United States, or 7% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 6.2 million people (or nearly one-third) are unaware that they have the disease.

If you have Diabetes, one of the silent killers of mankind, you can expect to get some complication of diabetes such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, and high cholesterol, Amputation etc.
In fact, more than 65% of people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke. With diabetes, heart attacks occur earlier in life and often result in death. By managing diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, people with diabetes can reduce their risk.

Usually when you are diagnosed with Diabetes you are put on one of the oral agents which lower blood sugar by raising insulin levels. The problem is not the low levels of insulin but the tissue sensitivity to existing insulin. Of course as these drugs are synthetic they can also cause many side effects and do not actually correct the underlying metabolic disorder. As the insulin levels rise, they may have adverse effects on cardiovascular system. This can even lead to heart disease.

At Angel Longevity Medical Center, our approach is to do everything we can to improve insulin sensitivity. This includes correct diet, supplements and exercise. Also latest research has linked Testosterone deficiency in middle age men to non-insulin dependent diabetes. So we also balance the various hormones to affect the glucose metabolism and improve insulin tissue sensitivity.
