Health Beating Type 2 Diabetes:
Give Your Pancreas a Break!
36
By Denise A. Pancyrz
“It is rarely discussed that your
pancreas can improve insulin
production once you receive a diabetes
diagnosis. Just like you rest
your body from an illness or injury, your
pancreas needs to rest.”

illions are in search of improved ways to manage type 2 diabetes. Medication and
insulin products are continually being brought to the market. However, the continuous flow of new medication is not the ‘new’ treatment diabetes patients are interested in to facilitate a natural path to reverse diabetes. Managing the disease has gotten quite complicated as patients are prescribed two and three medications sometimes along with insulin while never reaching a normal A1c. Your health does not necessarily need to be managed this way. There is more in your control than you may realize. One course of action that is being overlooked
is to rest and preserve your pancreas. It’s simple, it costs less than taking a myriad of medications, and offers the ability to avoid an ultimate pro- gression of becoming insulin dependent. Resting your pancreas begins your ability to reverse the effects of type 2 diabetes. This process can change
the course of your disease and help reduce and possibly eliminate some medication and insulin. When that happens, you also avoid the potential side effects of drugs and the disease. Continued high glucose levels cause your cells
to become insensitive to recognizing when insulin is produced; known as insulin resistance. Be- cause of this, your pancreas has been overworked by constantly producing insulin in an effort to reduce the glucose in your bloodstream. Due to this continued cycle, beta cell burnout can ensue. Your insulin producing beta cells fatigue and begin to die off. Once this happens, you become an insulin-dependent type 2 diabetic. Take note, the diabetes drugs in the class called sulfony- lureas (Glimepiride, Glyburide, Glipizide) may also contribute to beta cell fatigue. Either way, the outcome of insulin dependency being the same. It is rarely discussed that your pancreas has the opportunity to improve insulin production
