Syndrome X, Preventing Diabetes II

Navigation

This site is dedicated to my daughter Whitney Lemont, her husband David, Renee my grandaughter and David's mom Sharon. Both David and his mom suffer from diabetes and could use your prayers. He as he struggles to live a life in light of his diabetes and Sharon as she just struggles. Whitney as she cares for David, Renee and Sharon.

HELP! According to G. Reaven, M.D., in the book called "Syndrome X, The Silent Killer", published in 2000 .......

1/2 of ALL Heart Attacks are caused by Syndrome X 1/2 of ALL patients who have High Blood Pressure have Syndrome X How to know if you have this problem? * Get blood work done and check the "Glucose Fasting Serum" ... the reference range on the lab report usually shows between 3.3 to 6.1 mmol/L (or 60 to 108 mg/100 mL) for an adult. * If the result is HIGHER ... you are at risk!!!!!!! * If the result is high ... check other results on your blood work ... often you will see: * High triglycerides * High cholesterol * High blood pressure What is Syndrome X? (other terms include .... Insulin Resistance, Glucose Intolerance, Hyperinsulinemia, Metabolic Syndrome, and Pre-diabetes ... they all mean the same thing)

* The food we eat is broken down through digestive processes and converted into "GLUCOSE" that travels in our blood stream

* The hormone "INSULIN" (produced by the pancreas) transports glucose out of the blood stream into the cells where it is used for energy or stored as fat * When insulin does not work as well as it should at shuttling glucose into the cells, the individual has "SYNDROME X". The pancreas then pumps out more insulin (as much as 2x the normal amount) to compensate for the insulin not working as well as it should.

* The problem then becomes high levels of leftover insulin remaining in the blood stream after the extra load of insulin has forced the cell doors open to allow glucose to enter.

These high insulin levels trigger .... * High blood triglycerides * High cholesterol * High blood pressure * Low HDL cholesterol * Weight gain * An overworked pancreas

Now you are on the path of an insidious progression from pre-diabetes to HEART DISEASE, Type-2 adult-onset diabetes, and a long list of other diseases as well.
