Hypertension found to increase female diabetes rate 300%

Posted on Oct 14th 2007 9:37AM by Brian White

Those women with high blood pressure may be three times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, according to new research out of the U.S. this week.

Several researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital along with Harvard researchers concluded that it tracked 38,000 female health professionals for more than 10 years.

The results: 9.4 percent of the women in the group having high blood pressure developed type 2 diabetes, while only 5.7 percent of the normal group (without high blood pressure) had developed the same.

Moral to the story: if you're female and have consistent high blood pressure, you may want to do further research into getting it to a normal, safe level.

Hi Brian White & Anyone seeking scientific based evidence, a cure for global 'excess warmth' or to understand that CO2 emissions are NOT the cause of 'global warming' and that 'global diabetes' is NOT a disease and that above average blood pressure can be the 'safer level'.

To some extent We are all Judges ... so here's what the British High Court Judge Burton judged, on WED.10.OCT.2007 in relation to CO2 emissions NOT being the cause of 'global warming'...

The question is to which degree of our 3 types of 'eyes' are We seeing what We are reading?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueH6qgery5Q

Passion eyes, Educated eyes or Spiritual eyes ... which 'eyes' dominate how You 'see' nuclear fuel and CARBOhydrate fuel?

The Earth has an abundant supply of renewable sources of energy and yet some People are choosing to promote 'nuclear fuels' [and alleging "CO2 causes global warming"] with many negative possible consequences to many other People.

Most People have an abundant supply of fuel energy aka fat aka white fat aka white adipose tissue aka WAT and yet some People are choosing to promote 'CARBOhydrate fuels' with many negative possible consequences to many other People.

Let's consider 3 issues:-

(A). Global warming c/o CO2 or NOT?

(B). Urinating excess blood glucose is really a safety mechanism to stop the NEGATIVE consequences of forcing excess blood glucose into body tissues or NOT … insulin resistance is really a safety mechanism or NOT?

(C). Is the major contributory factor for diabetes mellitus [aka diabetes] excess glucose fuel and/or excess external warmth and/or excess clothing [aka insulation]? @ www.tinyurl.com/ypspmc @ Oct 08 2007 at 5:06 pm … Brent states: "…I would ask why so many Type 1 diabetics are diagnosed in the Fall, as the days get shorter…." >>> In the 'Fall' > perceived solar warming is reduced > habitual over-clothing aka overdressing aka excess clothing is increased > less glucose fuel is apportioned to internal warmth generation aka love aka thermogenesis > excess blood glucose fuel arises > excess glucose fuel is spilled to the urine > more diabetic diagnosis?

When You understand that CO2 emissions are NOT the cause of global warming You may understand that diabetes is NOT a disease.

Global warming is caused by natural solar activity ie NOT above-average carbon dioxide.

Diabetes [aka above-average blood glucose] is caused by a natural physiological activity [protecting the body from relative-HYPOglycemia] ie above-average blood glucose is NOT the cause of a disease called diabetes.

Psychologically there are CHOICES to be made eg: (a) c/o Whitey Harrell realizing that apparently ZERO supreme court law exists, since 1894, to pay any income tax on salaries & wages in 50 states of the USA @ www.tinyurl.com/2p63h9 especially @ 25m15s to 29m32s and 39m23s to 46m50s … so that payment of any such income tax is VOLUNTARY; and (b) c/o Professor Joel M Kauffman realizing that global warming is a natural process linked to solar activity @ http://www.tinyurl.com/2yfpa9 so the belief that Humans can control global warming is a CHOSEN belief [rather than a belief in truth] …; and (c) c/o the following evidence … increasingly understanding & realizing … that diabetes is NOT a disease …

Diabetes is caused by eating too often.

Eating less often cures type 2 diabetes and eating less often, even more often, cures type 1 diabetes.

2 clicks away >> via this click > www.tinyurl.com/3y2mu4 and then first link on that page > leads to info providing a better explanation as to a possible & sustainable cure for HYPERglycemia, eg type 1 & type 2 diabetes, via 'dietary control' and ultimately choosing to be UNdrugTREATED for life.

Few type 2 Diabetics are offered the CHOICE of a possible & sustainable cure for HYPERglycemia, eg type 2 diabetes, via 'dietary control'.

Even fewer type 1 Diabetics are offered the CHOICE of a possible & sustainable cure for HYPERglycemia, eg type 1 diabetes, via 'dietary control'.

'…dietary restriction based on reduced carbohydrate intake may be able to prevent Alzheimer's Disease…'

'Having diabetes' and utilizing tools such as urine glucose / ketone / pH measuring strips is a remarkable opportunity to train your body in the science & fine art of 'eat control' that can both increase your lifespan & prevent diseases.

The challenge with understanding how to 'give up diabetes' [HYPERglycemia] or cure diabetes is giving up on the 'mirage' that natural HYPERglycemia is anything other than a 'healing symptom' and understanding that diabetes is NOT a disease and that the diseases associated with diabetes actually arise from: (a) too rapid a DROP in blood glucose; and/or (b) too much of a DROP in blood glucose [both of which can be described by the words: "relative-HYPOglycemia"; and (c) treatment of "relative-HYPOglycemia" with carbohydrates including glucose aka 'glucose reperfusion' …

CONCLUSIONS: "This is the first description of MRI in determining the neurological damage in hypoglycemic coma."

OR … Here's the MRI evidence … BUT the term 'HYPERinsulinism' was described as early as 1924 and it has been well known for more than 80 years that hypoglycemia causes profound damage to the body including AMNESIA aka "forgetfulness or confusion". Amnesia is just one of a number of "neuropsychiatric illnesses" that have been 'treated' by means of highly questionable methods in Individuals lacking a sufficient predisposition to 'natural' hyperglycemia / diabetes mellitus as a protective adaptative 'HYPERglycemic safety' [aka diabetic] mechanism and/or barrier to repetitive "relative-HYPOglycemia" and repetitive 'treatment' with carbohydrates including glucose.

Researchers RJ Wurtman and JJ Wurtman [in relation to carbohydrate treatment of neuropsychiatric illnesses] state: "…many patients learn to overeat carbohydrates (particularly snack foods, like potato chips or pastries, which are rich in carbohydrates and fats) to make themselves feel better. This tendency to use certain foods as though they were drugs is a frequent cause of weight gain, and can also be seen in patients who become fat when exposed to stress, or in women with premenstrual syndrome, or in patients with "winter depression," or in people who are attempting to give up smoking. (Nicotine, like dietary carbohydrates, increases brain serotonin secretion; nicotine withdrawal has the opposite effect.) It also occurs in patients with normal-weight bulimia…".

David Healy is one of the clearest Writers on the subject of 'non-hyperglycemic' / 'non-carbohydrate' treatment [eg via SSRIs 'selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors'] of neuropsychiatric illnesses.

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Healy_%28psychiatrist%29

HYPERglycemia & UNdrugTREATED diabetes protects an Individual from neuropsychiatric illnesses. ANYdrugTREATED diabetes [via HYPOglycemic drugs] and consequent HYPOglycemic events increase an Individual's predisposition to neuropsychiatric illnesses and subsequent ANYdrugTREATED means for that 'HYPOglycemia associated' neuropsychiatric illness.

Commercial production of insulin began in 1923.

Subsequently, in 1924, it appears that the first diseases associated with excess insulin aka HYPERinsulinism [leading to HYPOglycemia & relative-HYPOglycemia] appeared when…

Seale Harris published his discovery of "relative-HYPOglycemia" ["Hyperinsulinism and Disinsulinism" @ JAMA @ vol 83 @ pages 723-733 @ 1924] … "relative-HYPOglycemia" a brain starved state associated with neuropsychiatric illnesses including: Depression, Insomnia, Anxiety, Irritability, Crying Spells, Phobias, Lack of Concentration, Forgetfulness or Confusion, Unsocial or Antisocial Behavior, Restlessness, Psychosis, Suicidal Behavior; Exhaustion or Fatigue, Sweating, Tachycardia, Anorexia, Chronic Indigestion or Bloating, Cold Hands or Feet, Joint Pains, Obesity, Abdominal Spasm; Headache, Dizziness, Tremor [inward or external], Muscle Pains & Backache, Numbness, Blurred Vision, Muscular Twitching or Cramps, Staggering, Fainting or Blackouts and also Convulsions.

Insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance apparently protects Individuals from neuropsychiatric illnesses associated with "relative-HYPOglycemia".

Prior to 1983 insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance was often associated with type 1 & type 2 Diabetics because insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance is a natural adaptative safety response to excess exogenous animal and/or excess endogenous human insulin [aka HYPERinsulinism].

Since approximately 1983 glucose-resistance associated with obese Diabetics has been diluted because GM insulins [ie it's various analog strains] have removed all traces of C-peptide together with introducing molecular designs for circumventing GM insulin resistance. As more Diabetics of all types are treated, with GM insulin, the ability to 'type a Diabetic' via resistance to insulin becomes more challenging. UNdrugTREATED type 2 Diabetics certainly are the Masters of glucose-resistance c/o their abundance of C-peptide and are all the more healthy for it … BUT as various HYPOglycemic / ANYdrugTREATED related steps are taken which deplete C-peptide availability from all Diabetics … other HYPOglycemic / ANYdrugTREATED creations [including pharmaco-nutrition combination methods eg including chromium & cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CLPr)] continue to help 'force-feed' glucose aka "gavage" into cells that are already overflowing with glucose stores … so glucose-resistance could become futile…

The fact is that type 1a, 1b, 1.5, 2 & 2.5 (pregnancy) diabetes mellitus are all manifestations of the same cure … for a the disease of "relative-HYPOglycemia" all of which types [of diabetes] are currently being treated with GM insulin or other HYPOglycemic substances [inc one of the newer ones proposed … "cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CLPr)"].

Type 1a, 1b, 1.5, 2, 2.5 diabetes mellitus could / should all be graded as to the Diabetic's degree of GLUCOSE-resistance [rather than insulin resistance] eg the amount of glucose a Person can consume before their LIVEr becomes overloaded and their kidneys choose to make glucose overflow into their urine [because the GLUCOSE is being RESISTED (a protective adaptative process)].

Human Beings, including 'Diabetics' have ZERO requirement for eating GLUCOSE & glucose dense foods [aka carbohydrates] and certain Human Beings, including "type 2 Diabetics" actively demonstrate this with substantial & beneficial "GLUCOSE-RESISTANCE".

The ADA teaches: (a) that carbohydrates should form "45% to 65%" of the calories of a Diabetic's diet; and (b) "discourages low-carb diets (diets that limit carbohydrate to fewer than 130 grams per day)"; and (c) "In people with type 2 diabetes, eating protein can make the body more responsive to insulin. Thus, it can lower blood glucose levels"…

www.diabetes.org/uedocuments/DiabetesBasics0307.pdf

All 'Diabetics' have a glucose 'allergy' [aka glucose resistance] to a greater or lesser degree because the CARBOPHILIA fashion is to continue to eat glucose dense carbohydrates too often ie too often to be processed by a 'Diabetic's LIVEr' that is already 'overflowing' with glycogen / glucose stores.

Diabetes aka HYPERglycemia is a protective physiological response to the extraordinary dangers of relative-HYPOglycemia.

Relative-HYPOglycemia diseases [associated with 'diabetes mellitus'] start when 'treatments' including ignoring/fighting glucose-RESISTANCE continue/increase [such as those treatments which exclude eating less often].

www.tinyurl.com/27ncjv

WHAT PREVENTS HYPERglycemia & HYPOglycemia…

Eat Less Often … specifically … Eat JUST clean water [zero % carbohydrate] between meals & eat ONLY when your blood glucose level, following your previous eat, has NATURALLY reduced to your chosen baseline blood glucose level [eg as related to the relative fuel demands of your particular activity level] and maintaining this habit, of 'supply & demand' glucose control, makes your prevention, of diabetes mellitus, sustainable.

REPETITION FOR EMPHASIS… Reasonably extensive research of the scientific literature suggests: (a) that Humans, including Athletes, have virtually ZERO requirements for carbohydrate because virtually all the required biochemical products of carbohydrates [with the possible exception of less than 1 gram of vitamin C per day] can be manufactured within the Human body; and (b) that only a lifetime of athletic-like activity can virtually guarantee preventing diabetes on a diet that derives "45% to 65%" of the calories from carbohydrate [ie more than 130 times the carbohydrate requirement of a Human body]; and (c) that the major contributory factor for over-consumption of HYPOglycaemic drugs is the over-consumption of carbohydrates [A Polish doctor, Jan Kwasniewski, has successfully treated type-1 Diabetics for over thirty years merely by reducing their carbohydrate intake to 'an amount dictated by the insulin-producing capacity of the sufferer']…

Insulin resistance is a curative process and is common to both type 1 & type 2 'Diabetics'.

Insulin resistance protects the body from insulin surges and in particular the especially crucial CNS [brain & spinal cord] from HYPOglycemia which can result from such insulin surges ... without insulin resistance an insulin surge simply 'pumps' vital glucose fuel [and sometimes in excess] into the liver [eg fatty liver], fat [eg fatty fat] & muscles [eg fatty heart] and leaves a 'shortfall' for the CNS and some other type of 'fall' can easily result...

www.thediabetesblog.com/2007/06/06/victims-of-circumstance-in-hypoglycemic-unawareness/1#c5614998

Since the introduction of GM insulin, in around 1983, insulin resistance became more associated with type 2 diabetes, rather than type 1 diabetes, because type 2 Diabetics [before treatment with GM insulin and other HYPOglycaemic drugs] usually have an abundance of insulin & C-peptide and their bodies can safely run above normal glucose levels [HYPERglycemia] in order to exert greater control over their fuel flow and help prevent relative-HYPOglycemia.

GM insulin lacks C-peptide. GM insulin often results in HYPOglycaemic unawareness because GM insulin has the capacity to circumvent insulin resistance. For those who chose GM insulin rather than natural and/or pig insulin ... insulin resistance is futile.

What if there is ZERO reference anywhere in the history of the world that provides Peer reviewed evidence that ANYdrugTREATED is better than UNdrugTREATED for any type 2 Diabetic?

Please Anyone identify just 1 such reference.

In the continued absence of any such reference it it reasonable to suppose that every type 2 Diabetic 'complication' arises as a result of the treatment of the 'insulin resistance' that was actually keeping type 2 Diabetics healthy in the first place.

Presumably, in respect of 'Who is ultimately responsible for any consequential side effects?' ... such a reference should be producible by a GP or an MD or any other prescribing Physician treating their type 2 Diabetic Patient...

'... Why some cases of retinopathy worsen when diabetic control improves ... the rate of fall of blood glucose concentration and the accompanying reduction in blood flow have been thought to be the trigger ... This suggestion was supported by the finding of Grunwald et al, who showed a 20% reduction of blood flow when blood glucose concentrations fell from about 15 mmol/l to 8 mmol/l.'

As compared with the relative HIGH / JOY of UNdrugTREATED type 2 diabetes…

Where's the PROOF, from any Physician, that type 2 diabetes ['insulin-resistant diabetes'] is anything other than beneficial? [when UNdrugTREATED].

Transient supernormal glycaemia 'TSG' occurs in every Human Being as a healthy and natural response to acute stress ['adaptative medicine'] … distributing glucose to nerve cells [without insulin receptors] and preventing 'HYPOs' [the real concern] … and may well increase HbA1c … so what? … when glucose levels surge up for a transient period [and then down again] an above average HgA1c can just as easily be viewed as a marker for a very healthy 'stress adapted' Human Being who has the benefit of being 'insulin-conservative' [ie a criteria for being labelled a 'type 1 Diabetic'] which protects INTRAcellular components of cells [with insulin resistance and/or insulin resistant receptors], from eg glycation of DNA, during periods of chronic stress.

If type 2 diabetes [UNdrugTREATED] is a health benefit ... as is proposed ... then most healthy People who have been free from diagnosis of 'above the average blood sugar level' would likely be living happy UNdrugTREATED lives with the benefit TSG... So here's an interesting fact about 7 million People who are 'too healthy to notice'...

'...The government estimates that more than 21 million Americans over age 20 have above normal blood glucose, but that at least a third don't know they have it...'

www.scrippsnews.com/node/24477

ie Apparently some 7 million Americans are adaptatively protected from numerous diseases [including cancer & Parkinsons] by way of 'insulin resistance' aka TSG aka HYPERglycaemia aka 'above normal blood sugar' aka diabetes [without even knowing how They are protected].

What is the most definitive study which substantiates the benefit of reducing HbA1c in drug/insulin treated acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' [Type 2] … as compared with treatment-free [drug/insulin] acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' [ie in a ZERO drug (repeat zero) treatment control Group ie UNdrugTREATED]? {ps please note the word written there says: "zero"} ie completely ignoring HbA1c value variability…

... Am seeking any 'Peer reviewed' study that clearly disassociates drug/insulin treatment from any changes in Patient behaviour [eg diet/exercise] and/or categorically proves that drug/insulin treated acute&chronic 'insulin-resistant diabetes' is healthier than doing absolutely nothing ['zero'] ie just accepting the higher HgA1c value and [possibly beneficial] blood glucose value [and likely beneficial "insulin resistance"]; and

What is the most definitive study which provides incontrovertible evidence that the apparent insulin receptor mediated down-regulation [in response to: transient supernormal glycaemia 'TSG'] is anything substantially other than a stress-adaptive mechanism of 'local' [on a cell-by-cell basis] intracellular cyto-protection from influx of excessive [blood] circulating glucose [ie homeostasis] eg cardio muscle protective?

... It is reasonable to propose that insulin receptor mediated down-regulation 'IRD' [aka "insulin resistance"] is primarily an adaptive [protective/regulatory/benefici

TYPE 2 DIABETES WAS DISCOVERED, [some 14 years AFTER 'type 1'] IN 1936, BY HARRY HIMSWORTH AND A NEW DIABETES NAME ie 'type 2' HAD TO BE CREATED WHEN ENOUGH ACCIDENTS HAD BEEN REALISED WITH ANIMAL INSULIN 'treatment' of all 'Diabetics'...

"…After World War I, when insulin was first discovered, the medical profession thought diabetes would be totally curable as a medical problem. Diabetes was believed to be due to insulin deficiency, and everyone thought that since insulin would now be given to patients there would be no more problems. It seemed this way for a few years, but terrible things started happening to patients with diabetes who were given insulin to control their blood sugar levels. They developed eye disease, kidney disease, and, most important, accelerating atherosclerosis leading to blood vessel disease and early heart attacks. Their problems were worse than ever. Decades later, when the insulin assay became available and doctors were able to measure insulin levels in their patients' bloodstreams, they found most interesting results: the insulin levels of type 1 (childhood-onset) diabetics were indeed low, but the levels in type 2 (adult-onset) diabetics were not only not low, but also were higher than those of people without diabetes. It became clear that type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance, not insulin deficiency. Type 2 diabetics produce plenty of insulin … I can only view today's treatment of diabetic patients as malpractice…"

Since approx 1983 ... all 'Diabetics' are AGAIN being treated with insulin ... this time GM insulin.

WHAT CAUSES DIABETES…

Eating too often [for that particular Individual at that particular period of their life AND their particular reliance on excessive clothing insulation] causes relative HYPOglycaemia and relative HYPOglycaemia causes a reduction of beta cells/activity [especially type 1] and/or reduced insulin sensitivity aka insulin resistance [especially type 2].

www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/0705863104v1

WHAT CURES DIABETES…

(A) Maintain basal insulin [eg type 1 exogenous / type 2 endogenous] to prevent ketoacidosis [pH > 7.2].

www.jped.com.br/conteudo/07-83-S11/ing.pdf

(B) Eat Less Often … specifically … Eat JUST clean water [zero% carbohydrate] between meals & eat ONLY when your blood glucose level, following your previous eat, has naturally reduced to your chosen baseline blood glucose level [eg as related to the relative fuel demands of your particular activity level] and consciously helping your body learn this habit, of 'supply & demand' glucose control, makes your cure sustainable.

(C) Await daily recovery, sustainable, in respect of your increased reduction of relative HYPOglycaemia ie increasingly efficient reduction of the cause … increasingly efficiently facilitates the gradual recovery your beta cells & insulin sensitivity … ie gradually towards the total sustainable cure [days/weeks/months for type 1a & type 1.5 … or … hours/days/weeks for type 1b & type 2].
