Is diabetes a metabolic disorder?
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. This results in defects in insulin secretion and action.
There are two main types of diabetes:
- Type I Diabetes is the Insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM). This is usually treated with insulin injections
- Type II Diabetes is the Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). This type is treated with, oral anti diabetic medication.
Other categories of diabetes include gestational diabetes (a state of hyperglycemia which develops during pregnancy) and other rarer causes
What are the symptoms of diabetes?
Symptoms include:
- increased urinary frequency, thirst, hunger and unexplained weight loss
- numbness in extremities, pain in feet, fatigue, and blurred vision
- recurrent or severe infections
- loss of consciousness or severe nausea/vomiting or coma
Why does the body need insulin?
Insulin is required to convert glucose into energy. In the case of insufficient supply of Insulin, cells are unable to convert glucose into energy and finally discharge glucose through urine. The kidneys draw additional water to dilute & excrete glucose through urine. This creates excessive thirst. A diabetic person may lose weight and exhibit other symptoms like blurred vision, nausea and drowsiness. Ketoacidosis makes fat cells break down and produce ketone, a toxic chemical compound that turns the blood acidic.
Is there any toxicity concern shown in the study of Insorex?
Some herbal chemicals can induce mutations and can also be responsible for future mutations. Mutations are responsible for abnormal cell growth that could lead to toxicity and cancer. To test that there is no such effect, Insorex has been subjected to comprehensive research study. Using analysis known as 'bacterial reverse mutation' method, Insorex has been tested for mutagenicity, toxicity and carcinogenicity. The study showed that there was no significant finding for such toxicity.
