DESCRIPTION
There are a number of myths about diabetes that are all too commonly reported as facts. We have always doubts about one thing or the other. It will be good to understand the actual facts about diabetes and stop following misconceptions.This misconception of diabetes can sometimes be harmful and lead to an unfair mark around the condition. Diabetes information is widely available, on Internet, but not all of it is true. It can be hard to know what is accurate. So this PPT aims to highlight the top most common diabetes myths.

MYTHS ABOUT
DIABETES
डायबिटीज की
गलतफमियां
MYTH 1
Diabetes goes only with death …
one can never become free!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 1
Diabetics do become free of insulin andmedicines permanently too!
We have over 9000+ free from insulin and 5000+ off tablets!!!
Truth 1
71 Intensive Program batches done.
81 Residential Program batches done.
169 Online Webinars done.
926 physical first sessions done.
Over 92469 participants have attended these programs!
MYTH 2
Diabetes is hereditary!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 2
This is a partial truth.
Type 2 diabetes has a strong genetic link but the genes are dormant (not dominant). They activate only when one’s diet, lifestyle and stress switch them on.
These genes can be switched off once you change your diet, lifestyle and stress levels!
Dr Neal Barnard & Dr Gabriel Cousens
MYTH 3
Diabetics produce less insulin!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 3
This is TOTALLY WRONG FOR TYPE 2 DIABETICS!
95%+ Type 2 diabetes have higher fasting insulin. (more than 4).
The problem is not insulin production but INSULIN RESISTANCE (action of insulin)!
Insulin Resistance
MYTH 4
Most important test for diabetes is Hba1c
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 4
This is a partial truth.
Hba1c is the 3 month average of sugars so it is important. Ideally it should be below 5.7. For diabetics below 7 is good control.
Even more important tests than Hba1c are:
Fasting Insulin (should be between 2.6-4)
HsCRP (should be below 1). This conveys inflammation
Both the above help us understand INSULIN RESISTANCE which is more important than just tracking sugar levels through Hba1c
When we eat food!
There is increase in INSULIN
Which…
STORE SUGARS in liver
PRODUCE FAT in liver
Role of Insulin!
Insulin inhibits burning of fat (lipolysis)
Higher the insulin lesser the fat burning
Lower the insulin higher the fat burning
High Insulin causes…
Heart disease
Stroke
High Cholesterol
High blood pressure
Abdominal obesity
Fatty Liver
PCOD
Gout
Atherosclerosis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
Sleep apnea
Cancer
Alzhiemer’s
FASTING IS THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE INSULIN!!!
MYTH 5
Diabetics should eat after every 2 hours.
And they should not fast!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 5
This is partially true!
Eating in less quantity every two hours will keep sugars under control.
But the problem is rise in insulin repeatedly. Insulin will only reduce when the number of meals reduce.
Fasting in a scientific manner is recommended by us and has given immense results to many doctors/ therapists!
New way of looking at Insulin Resistance
A cell overfilled with glucose, spills it out of the cell, leading to increased glucose levels
If you give more drugs or insulin to stimulate insulin secretion, temporarily more glucose will be shoved into cell
Once natural limit is reached, even extra insulin will not be able to move more glucose in
Obvious Solution –Fasting/ Juice Feasting/ Intermittent Fasting!
To reduce toxic glucose overload –
First, stop putting excess glucose in your body. Low carbohydrate diet
Second, body needs to burn off excess glucose
So, Fasting is the obvious solution!!!
MYTH 6
If sugars are controlled by medicines / insulin there is no need to control your diet
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 6
This is TOTALLY WRONG!
All medicines have side-effects
With medicines/ insulin you are only stuffing more sugar and fat into cells which are already overloaded so the problem is only increasing
Long term complications also happen to people despite good sugar control
MYTH 7
Diabetics should not eat mangoes and bananas!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 7
This is a partial truth.
Bananas and Mangoes have medium Glycemic Index. They can be had once sugars are under control. All our diabetics eat them regularly!
More dangerous fruits are Watermelon and Pine apple
Glycemic Index
Glycemic Index
High-GI Foods (>70):
Watermelon (76)
Pineapple (59)
Low-GI Foods (<55):
Banana (50-55)
Mango (50)
MYTH 8
Sugar free sweets are fine for diabetics.These can be gifted to your diabetic family members, friends and teachers!
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 8
This is TOTALLY WRONG if the sweet contains MILK!
Firstly, Milk and all milk products contain IGF (Insulin like Growth Factor) which blocks insulin receptors for 48-72 hours. Insulin cannot open the locks and this causes a rise in sugars
Secondly, sugar free chemicals like sucralose, aspartame can severely damage your intestinal bacteria. These bacteria help in producing vital enzymes and vitamins useful in energy production. Also many of these are harmful chemicals and cause autoimmune diseases and cancer
Insulin Resistance
IGF from Milk and all Milk products
Gets stuck for
48-72 hours
Biggest Enemy
MILK
Deeper Solutions!
A cup of tea without sugar
Can increase next day fasting by
20 – 100 points
MYTH 9
Morning tea without sugar with 2 marie biscuits is necessary for diabetics
At night also diabetics should drink one glass of milk
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 9
This is TOTALLY WRONG!
As both tea and biscuits contain milk!
Secondly, tea, milk, biscuits are acidic in nature. They increase inflammation. This inflammation (which can be measured by hsCRP) blocks insulin action
Insulin Resistance
Acid and inflammation creates a swelling around cells. This interferes with insulin action
MYTH 10
Poha / Upma in breakfast are permitted for diabetics
MYTHS ABOUT DIABETES
डायबिटीज की गलतफमियां
Truth 10
This is TOTALLY WRONG!
Both Poha and Upma are refined food items.
Refined means without skin (chilkha).
Poha is white rice which is puffed
Upma is refined wheat
Both increase sugars very fast. This gets converted into fat. Whatever increases sugars fast increases acid and inflammation too!
