Default Diabetic up-date

In the 1920s, ³diabetes² was thought to be a disease of insulin
deficiency. Eventually, measurements of insulin showed that ³diabetics²
often had normal amounts of insulin, or above-normal amounts. There are
now ³two kinds of diabetes,² with suggestions that ³the disease² will
soon be further subdivided.

Glucagon, cortisol, adrenalin, growth hormone and thyroid tend to
increase the blood sugar, but it is common to interpret hyperglycemia as
"diabetes," without measuring any of these factors. Even when "insulin
dependent diabetes" is diagnosed, it isn't customary to measure the
insulin to see whether it is actually deficient, before writing a
prescription for insulin. People resign themselves to a lifetime of
insulin injections, without knowing why their blood sugar is high.

Insulin is important in the regulation of blood sugar, but its
importance has been exaggerated because of the diabetes/insulin
industry. Insulin itself has been found to account for only about 8% of
the "insulin-like activity" of the blood, with potassium being probably
the largest factor. There probably isn't any process in the body that
doesn't potentially affect blood sugar.

They come together with increased blood sugar. That's not the same
thing as blood sugar causing them.

Glucagon moves fat out of storage. It is works at low insulin levels so
it's action is suppressed by insulin.

Cortisol is more associated with stress than blood sugar. It is true
that blood sugar swings are stressful but they are not the only cause of
stress. Adrenalin is similiarly released to both stresses and to
dropping blood sugar.

Thyroid output is reduced by very low calorie or extremely low carb
eating. it's one of the main drivers of the metabolic reduction often
called "starvation mode".
