Malfunctioning of the Immune System – Root Cause of Type 1 Diabetes

When the immune system, the body’s major protector malfunctions, it can create serious health problems. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system cannot recognize the insulin-producing part of the pancreas anymore. It regards and attacks it as an enemy. Poor pancreas is destroyed and cannot produce insulin anymore.

If the body’s immune system malfunctions, fatal health problems occur. Being a major defense, its destruction can mean destruction of the entire body as well. It can cause type 1 diabetes, Alzheimer, arthritis, thyroidism and many more.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes make the blood stream concentrated with sugar. As a result, the blood stream becomes a paradise for microorganisms to thrive since it now becomes a rich reserve of food. This part now becomes conducive to bacteria, yeast and other parasites to multiply. This makes the immune system deregulated and dwarfed, making the body vulnerable to infections.

That is why we can see diabetics having multiple bacterial, fungal and yeast infections; infections which take time and longer to heal than those who have no diabetes. In order to stop these parasites and infections, the immune system should do its job with regards to blood sugar control especially in type 1 diabetes.
Hemoglobins HbA1C or A1C are believed to be related to the immune system. Diabetologists and physicians believe that HbA1C and blood sugars are directly proportional. When HbA1C figures are high, blood sugar is also high and when HbA1C figures are low, blood sugar is also low. High blood sugar likely depicts a weak immune system.

Even addressing overweight to prevent or correct type 2 diabetes should be in an immunological perspective; and such is possible with healthy pair of exercise and nutritious diet. To make it healthy, feed the immune system with less saturated fats, more omega-3 oils and lots of vegetables and fruits.

A healthy immune system means no more type 1 diabetes

Diabetes can be cured when the immune system is or becomes healthy. A trial has been done with diabetes patients. Curing the immune system with the use of the bone marrow cells of the patients themselves, freed them from type 1 diabetes and from insulin dependence or medication. After the procedure, the participants did not need insulin therapy for 18 months. One patient even lasted 3 years without injections for insulin.

It is noteworthy that type 1 diabetes occurs in young people and adults when the immune system goes wrong and mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing part of the pancreas, resulting insulin deficiency, high blood sugar levels and diabetes. Thus, a malfunctioning immune system is the root cause of type 1 diabetes. The first step is to stop the immune system from attacking the pancreas.
