Insulin is a hormone that the body makes in the pancreas and elsewhere. It helps with the metabolism of sugar in the blood and it is a growth hormone.
Too much insulin in the blood can have devastating effects such as Cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, alzheimers and Type II Diabetes.
In Type II Diabetes also known as "insulin resistance" the body stops listening to the body. Sugar goes to the brain and other organs and literally explodes damaging the cells. The excessive insulin which is also a growth hormone causes cells to multiply uncontrollably leading to many complications.
Type I Diabetes is when the pancreas does not make enough insulin this allowing the sugar from foods to cause damage. Type I Diabetes is an autoimmune disorder which means the body's own immune system attacks the body itself. In this case the pancreas is attacked.
Some times Alzheimers is referred to as Type III Diabetes.
Today Type II Diabetes is suffered by 300 million people worldwide with continued increasing number for the foreseeable future. The interesting thing is that Type II Diabetes is a lifestyle choice. It is caused by poor eating habits and poor nutrition.
To make matter worse many drugs prescribed by doctors lead to Diabetes and the Diabetes medications are made from GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). Use of these drugs will most certainly result in further health problems and eventually death.
One other factoid. The leading cause of amputations in the world is Diabetes.
