 Diabetes Management And Diabetes Treatments At Our CT Clinic


At Nature's Helper Medical Clinic, Dr. Stacey Munro teaches diabetes diet management, which may help you to manage type II diabetes without medications.  Treatments for diabetes focus on dietary changes, weight loss, and natural blood sugar management. 

Diabetes mellitis is categorized into three main types:


  • Type I diabetes is caused by the body's destruction of insulin producing cells.  It is an autoimmune disease.  Type I diabetes management requires the use of insulin.  However, strict dietary control helps to keep blood sugar properly regulated.
  • Type II diabetes (previously referred to as adult onset diabetes) is caused by a poor diet and a genetic predisposition.  It is now also common in children.
  • Gestational diabetes occurs in pregnancy and usually resolves at the end of pregnancy.  Babies are typically born very large, which may cause complications at birth.

How Type II Diabetes Develops


Alternative treatments for diabetes are available at our clinic in Windsor, CT.Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar.  As a result, blood sugar becomes abormally high, a condition called "hyperglycemia".  Similar to most chronic diseases, there is a genetic component which increases the risk of developing diabetes.  For example, your risk is greater when you have immediate family members with diabetes.  Type II diabetes is largely caused by poor diet.  Obesity is also a strong risk factor. 


Diabetes diet management consultations from Connecticut doctor Stacey Munro"Insulin resistance" develops many years before type II diabetes is diagnosed in most cases.  Insulin is a hormone that is released in response to ingestion of carbohydrates, especially refined or processed carbohydrates (sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white bread, pasta, white potato, white rice, ect).  Hypoglycemia or low-blood sugar may be an early symptom of pre-diabetes.  One of the keys to diabetes management is to catch it early.
