DM Type II

The second mechanism for the development of DM Type II is the possible destruction or damage to receptors due to over-eating of too much sugar. Here is the molecular mechanism: when food intake is high in carbohydrates (those highly processed like refined flour and refined sugar), there is rapid release of insulin from the beta-cells of the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas, thus rapid bombar...dment of insulin receptors which would result to damage. When this happens insulin receptors become few if not nil and therefore could manifest in diabetic conditions. But since receptors can be repaired especially when there is considerable decrease in carbohydrate intakes, then, DM type II is easily reversible by change in lifestyle. Also, since receptors can be synthesized, time will come when these are all restored and the patient become normal again. But it takes at least 2-3 years for some receptors to be restored. No matter how slow, it is truly reversible. This is a promise of hope that people with diabetes mellitus type II can be normalize again.
