Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
Diets high in refined carbohydrates & sugars are creating an epidemic of health problems that start out as Insulin Resistance: 1 out of 2 Americans already have or are developing Insulin Resistance! 21 million Americans suffer from Diabetes ~ 1/3 of them are unaware of it! 2 out of 3 adults and 1 out of 3 children are overweight or obese! 1 in 3 children born in 2000 will develop Diabetes!

INSULIN RESISTANCE:
Insulin Resistance causes many health problems: Obesity, Diabetes, Hypertension, Heart Disease and some Cancers. It is also one of the leading causes of Hypertension in the world today. This Metabolic Syndrome turns on Chronic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress, which are underlying causes to all these chronic diseases, as well as the development of chronic muscle and joint pain. Because of this, it is vital that all clinicians monitor their patients' blood glucose numbers and assist them in achieving and maintaining healthy levels.
Catch Metabolic Syndrome Early
Blood Pressure > 140/90 or currently taking antihypertensive drugs Waist circumferences greater than 40" in men and 35" in women Fasting blood glucose of 90 mg/dL to 110 mg/dL = Pre-Insulin Resistance; > 110 mg/dL = Insulin Resistance and > 125 mg/dL = Diabetes HDL Cholestrol: Men < 35 mg/dL and Women < 40 mg/dL Triglyceride/HDL Ratio: > 3/1; One of the best indicators of Insulin Resistance! Hemoglobin A1c: 5.5% to 6% = Insulin Resistance; > 6.5% = Diabetes
Protocols for Insulin Resistance: Always start with a low-glycemic-index diet and an exercise program for your patients. For additional information see www.glycemicindex.com orwww.mendosa.com. Have your patients use these websites to improve their dietary choices. Provide a nutrient support program to help improve and manage healthy blood sugar levels.
