Chiropractic care can help with type 2 Diabetes.

Diabetes. It is a chronic metabolic disorder where either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells in the body do not recognize the insulin. Insulin allows the body to use glucose (blood sugar) for energy by transporting the sugar from the blood into the cells. When this doesn’t happen, the glucose builds up in the blood which can lead to diabetic complications such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

Currently, the primary strategies in the treatment and management of type 2 Diabetes are drug intervention, diet and exercise.

Many people only think about going to the chiropractor when they have back or neck pain. In reality chiropractors correct the misalignment of the spine which controls the nervous system and organs. Chiropractors care can actually help patients with type 2 diabetes in three ways.

      1.     Make sure your nerves are optimized

This means that you are actively receiving chiropractic care to ensure that your spine is aligned and signals are flowing to all of your organs at an optimal level. Most people with diabetes don’t actually die from diabetes itself, but from kidney failure or heart disease. Your organs need to be receiving the signals from your brain so that they are operating at the highest levels.

      2.     Build lean muscle

Exercising and weight training in connection with chiropractic care has been shown to reverse the disease of type 2 diabetes. Just because you received scary diagnoses today doesn't mean you have to suffer the rest of your life. With hard work and a strong chiropractic partner you can restore your health.

      3.     Eat healthy food

The hardest part for most people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is changing eating habits. No more cupcakes after dinner. No more mounds of mashed potatoes with steak. To succeed at eating healthy you need to have the knowledge of what foods do in your body and how nutrients provide life for your cells.
