One goal that you could accomplish by embarking on the
the Healthy and Active Program is the balancing of your blood sugar. Note
that this has been accomplished by many with Type 2 diabetes as that is a
condition that is reversible and the program can help prevent an eventual
dependence on insulin. If you have Type 1 diabetes your constitution in general
can be greatly improved.
Insulin is a hormone that plays a key role in the
regulation of blood glucose levels, which is important because every cell in
your body relies on insulin to transport glucose to them from the
body. If the body has sufficient energy, then insulin signals
the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. The liver can store up
to about 5% of its mass as glycogen.
When there is a malfunction of insulin production, the
person develops what is called a metabolic disorder. Eventually this
results in either Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.

| How Insulin Resistance Works |
Understanding Type 1 Diabetes
In Type 1 Diabetes the body does not produce enough
insulin to regulate blood glucose and the body uses other sources of energy to
keep running, including ketones that are produced by the liver to compensate
for the absence of glucose. Type 1 diabetics must inject insulin to
keep skyrocketing glucose in the blood that cannot be utilized by the body,
from damaging their body’s systems.
Understanding Type 2 Diabetes
In Type 2 diabetes the body is experiencing a
condition called insulin resistance, meaning that it is less able to take up
glucose from the blood. In the earlier stage of this disease the
body responds by producing more insulin than it would normally need to
eventually putting such a strain on the pancreas that it is no longer able to
reproduce any insulin at all.
How HAP Can Help These Conditions
These diabetic conditions or a predisposition
towards them also have a lot of impact on how your body will store and use
fat. When the liver has talent up its capacity of glycogen, insulin
signals fat cells to store the sugars as fat (as triglycerides) instead.
This is also why it is very important for you to avoid
eating foods that could wear out your pancreas by forcing it to react to high
levels of sugar in the blood. One of the miraculous things about the
Healthy and Active Program is that it has been known to reverse high blood
sugar in Type 2 diabetics. You will be prescribed a diet and lifestyle
plan that is devised specifically for your particular situation.
