Diabetes Is Not A Disease Of Blood Sugar! By Ron Rosedale, MD

“… one concept that I would like to make well-known to save thousands and perhaps millions of lives as soon as possible, is that diabetes is not a disease of blood sugar, but a disease of insulin and perhaps more importantly leptin signaling, and until that concept becomes well-known in the medical community, articles like the one published in this issue will fortunately continue to be published revealing the inadequacy of current conventional medical treatment for chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and the falsity of their advice about nutrition.”

Dr. Rosedale’s work clearly shows what diabetes is not and points clearly to what it truly might be; a problem with the body’s hormone, leptin. Leptin is the messenger that tells the brain if it is hungry or not.

“Leptin, a relatively recently discovered hormone produced by fat, tells the body and brain how much energy it has, whether it needs more (saying "be hungry"), whether it should get rid of some (and stop being hungry) and importantly what to do with the energy it has (reproduce, upregulate cellular repair, or not). “
It would make sense that to control weight gain; we need to understand the role of leptin, science is trying to tell us.

“Science is telling us that we must eat a diet that maximizes the accuracy of insulin and leptin signaling allowing cells,” . All we have to do is listen and learn from the right people and become our own ‘health expert.’ With sites like Dr. Mercola’s, Dr. Rosedale’s and others we have plenty of help.

Dr. Rosedale recommends a diet, “emphasizing good fats and reduced nonfiber carbohydrates/starches.”On his website, he goes into greater detail.
