.
. WELL,
. WELL, THERE IS NO DOUBT DIABETES IS A PROBLEM.
IN FACT IN NINETEEN THIRTY FOUR
ONE IN ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
SEVEN AMERICANS DEVELOPED TYPE
TWO DIABETES BY THE TIME THEY
DIED TODAY THAT NUMBER IS ONE
IN THREE WILL BE DIABETIC AT
SOME POINT.
I TALKED WITH DR. SMEARY.
YOU MET FROM LONGEVITY MEDICAL
CLINIC WHERE THEY ARE ACTIVELY
WORKING TO REVERSE TYPE TWO
DIABETES.
SO DIABETES IS ACTUALLY AN
EPIDEMIC PROBLEM RIGHT NOW AND
WE REALLY DO NEED TO PAY A LOT
OF ATTENTION TO THIS BECAUSE IT
CARRIES A LOT OF MORBIDITY AND
MORTALITY AND IN FACT IT WILL
IMPACT ON YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE
AND AS YOU GET OLDER YOUR RISK
OF DEVELOPING DIABETES RISES
AND THE MAIN REASON IS THAT
YOU'RE CHANGING.
YOUR BODY IS CHANGING.
WE'RE LIVING LONGER, YOU KNOW,
VISCERAL FAT LEVEL IS RISING.
YOUR MUSCLE MASS IS DECREASING
AND WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES
YOUR BODY'S ABILITY TO HANDLE
THAT SUGAR LOAD IS CHANGING.
SO INSULIN PRODUCTION FROM THE
PANCREAS IS INCREASING.
THE RISK OF INSULIN RESISTANCE
IS INCREASING.
YOUR BODY'S TRYING TO HELP YOU
BY BASICALLY LETTING THAT HIGH
GLUCOSE LEVELS GET INTO THE FAT
CELLS AND NOW THE FAT RESTORING
THIS LIVER IS PRODING
TRIGLYCERIDES OVER A PERIOD
OF TIME.
INSULIN RESISTANCE IS OCCURRING
.
YOUR METABOLIC SYNDROME RISK IS
RISING.
SO FOR A WHILE YOUR BODY WILL
COMPENSATE FOR THAT.
BUT AS YOU GET OLDER THERE
COMES A TIME WHEN THE ABILITY
TO COMPENSATE IS COMPROMISED
QUITE DRAMATICALLY AND THE
PANCREAS ABILITY TO PRODUCE
INSULIN TO TAKE THAT SUGAR OUT
OF THE BLOOD AND INTO THE CELLS
BECOMES MUCH HARDER AND AT THAT
TIME THE SUGAR LEVELS WILL RISE
DRAMATICALLY AND WHEN THEY DO
THAT, WHEN A DRAMATIC CHANGE
TAKES PLACE, YOU PASS A
THRESHOLD BEYOND WHICH WE LABEL
YOU AS TYPE TWO DIABETES.
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
THIS JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.
IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A
DECADE OR EVEN TWO DECADES
BEFORE THE DIAGNOSIS IS MADE.
AND THEREIN LIES THE BIG
PROBLEM BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK
THAT ONCE THEY HAVE A DIAGNOSIS
THEY'LL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
BUT THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT IS BEFORE THE
DIAGNOSIS.
AND SO YOU'VE MISSED THIS HUGE
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY OFFERED A
DECADE OR TWO BEFORE YOU GOT
THE DIAGNOSIS WHERE YOU COULD
HAVE BEEN MORE PROACTIVE AND
PREVENTED THE HUGE CONSEQUENCES
OF THIS ONE SIMPLE DIAGNOSIS.
WHAT KIND OF WARNING SIGNS
SHOULD WE BE LOOKING OUT FOR
TYPE
TYPE TWO
TYPE TWO DIABETES AND THEN AVOIDING IT? SURE.
SO THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
PEOPLE NOTICE AS THEY'RE
GETTING OLDER IS THEY FEEL
TIRED WITH DIABETES YOU'LL FEEL
TIRED.
YOU WON'T HAVE THE ENERGY OR
THE STAMINA TO DO WHAT YOU
COULD DO IN THE PAST A LOT
OF TIMES PEOPLE WILL NOTICE
THAT THEY WANT TO EAT A LOT AND
THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS WE USED TO
SAY WAS EATING A LOT, PEEING A
LOT OR FEELING THIRSTY.
THOSE WERE THE CLASSIC THREE
SYMPTOMS OF A DIAGNOSIS OF TYPE
TWO DIABETES.
NOW PEOPLE DON'T WAIT THAT LONG
OR WE DON'T WE HAVE BETTER
MEDICAL CARE SO USUALLY THE
SYMPTOMS ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE
SUBTLE.
YOU'LL FEEL TIRED, YOU'LL START
GAINING WEIGHT.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
YOU CAN'T SEEM TO LOSE THE
WEIGHT.
PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY JUST
DON'T HAVE THE STAMINA TO DO
WHAT THEY WERE CAPABLE OF DOING
.
THEY START GETTING A LITTLE
FORGETFUL.
THEY START NOTICING BLURRING
OF VISION AND A COMMON ONE IS
NEUROPATHIES YOU START NOTICING
TINGLING NUMBNESS IN YOUR HANDS
AND FEET.
YOUR FEET ARE SORE.
THEY HURT AT NIGHT.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE COMMON
THINGS A LITTLE NONSPECIFIC BUT
THEY'RE WARNING SIGNS THAT TELL
YOU IT'S TIME TO GO GET
SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.
YOU HAVE ACTUALLY SOME SOLUTION
.
AND SO WHEN FACED WITH THIS
DIAGNOSIS RIGHT.
WE DO ADD LONGEVITY.
OUR BIG THING IS THAT IF YOU
DON'T MEASURE YOU DON'T KNOW.
SO WE'RE VERY MUCH GEARED
TOWARDS OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHERE

WHERE TO START.

AN ANYBODY AND THOSE TWO TESTS

US A HUGE IDEA ABOUT YOUR RISK
FOR BECOMING DIABETIC AND
WHETHER YOUR PREDIABETIC OR NOT
AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOUR
PHYSIOLOGY?
WHAT IS YOUR VISCERAL FAT LEVEL
?
WHERE ARE YOU WITH THE MUSCLE
MASS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
TREAT, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO
BEGIN BECAUSE IF YOUR VISCERAL
FAT LEVEL IS RISING, IT'S NOT
JUST THAT YOU'RE AT RISK FOR
DIABETES, YOU'RE AT RISK FOR
MANY CHRONIC DISEASES BECAUSE
THAT IS A POWERFUL INFLAMMATORY
AGENT.

INNOCUOUS AND IT DOESN'T HARM

PERSONAL RISK IS INCREASING.
