Diabetes

Most people know about Diabetes 1 or Diabetes 2, but are you aware of Diabetes 3 type!

Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment. If you think you may have a medical emergency, immediately call your doctor or dial 118.

Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.

Diabetes Type 1 is known as an autoimmune disease. When the body destroys good things in its body, such as the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, it has what is called an autoimmune disease.

A patient diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2 has either one of the following issues and sometimes both; (a) not enough insulin is being produced or (b) the insulin is not working properly (also known as “Insulin resistance.”

What is Type 3 diabetes and what is the connection to Alzheimer’s disease? Diabetes Type 3, which is regarded as “brain specific,” is not completely understood. Additional research needs to be conducted, and diagnosis and treatments remain in the early stages. More studies are required in order to fully understand how to help those with Diabetes Type 3 as well as its connection to Alzheimer’s and dementia. It is also believed that Diabetes Type 3 increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by up to 65%.

It is further believed that Diabetes Type 3 affects people who are extra sensitive to electrical devices that emit “dirty” electricity. Diabetes Type 3, actually experience spikes in blood sugar and an increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution (“electro-pollution”) from things like computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs.
