was detected in adulthood.
• The initial onset of type I occurs rapidly in
children and adolescents. In some the
symptoms appear in adulthood, because the
destruction of the pancreatic cells are
occurring slower.
Reasons:
• Autoimmune response – virus,

4. Type II

abdominal fat
• Insulin Resistance

5. Some More Types

Cancer

6. Body Fat & Diabetes
Waist circumference – 40” or

• Age – can be arrested
• Breathing related sleep disorders –
less sleep -more insulin resistance
• Smoking

8. Excess Insulin

Triglycerides
• Increased blood clotting
• In women – increased
testosterone level
• Causes fat storage – prevents

9. Insulin Resistance
Reversible with

• Exercise
• Sleep
If left untreated Insulin
Resistance leads to Diabetes

insulin by pancreas
• Chromium acts like a key to control
Insulin.

blood glucose levels – high sugar diet
removes Cr from the body
• Magnesium improves Insulin
production and enhances its function

15. Supplements - Vitamins
