The Three Categories of Diabetes
1
Understanding Type I Diabetes:
In Type I Diabetes, the production and secretion of insulin by the pancreas are absent or dramatically low. The disease usually develops during childhood or adolescence and is also referred to as Juvenile or Insulin-Dependent Diabetes. The cause is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors that trigger an autoimmune reaction where the body attacks its own pancreatic cells. Management of Type I Diabetes includes manually injecting insulin and monitoring blood glucose levels daily.
2
Type II Diabetes:
In Type II Diabetes, insulin is still being produced but glucose and the insulin to transport it cannot enter the cell efficiently. About 90% of all diabetic patients are Type II diabetics. The disease is often referred to as Adult-Onset or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes. Previously, it was far more common to diagnose obese adults and elderly with the disease. However, with the obesity rate becoming increasingly prevalent in children, so is Type II Diabetes. Most of the factors that contribute to Type II Diabetes are controllable. These factors include a poor diet high in refined carbohydrates and low in fiber, lack of exercise, nutritional deficiencies, and being overweight.
3
Gestational Diabetes:
Gestational Diabetes occurs in women who experience high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. This type of diabetes may be controlled with lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet and exercise. Maintaining a proper weight and remaining physically active throughout pregnancy will help prevent the development of Gestational Diabetes.
What is Clinical Nutrition?
80% of diseases today are preventable. Studies show our eating habits can directly affect diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and even cancer. To prevent or treat these medical conditions, changes in diet and lifestyle can have a major effect.
Conflicting advice about health and nutrition is everywhere and changes all the time. It is hard to know what information to trust.
Dr. Cutler and the staff at Cutler Integrative Medicine will spend time with you discussing your medical history, genetics, lifestyle, sleep patterns, physical exercise regimen, and mental/emotional health habits and delve into the best nutrition for you.
A laboratory test can determine if you are deficient in any nutrients or have food sensitivities. We will help you sort through conflicting information and make clear nutrition recommendations tailored to your optimal health. The “one diet fits all” approach doesn’t compare to an individualized diet tailored to your health needs and health goals.
