Many experts believe that one of the ways to better cleanse the body with diabetes is fasting. Is it worth it to hope for this and this method to treat type 2 diabetes? And will it be good for the body?
Diabetes is a disease in which there is a lack of insulin in the body and the susceptibility of tissues to the hormone is deteriorating. The disease of an insulin-dependent form is not treated, so a person will be attached to injections until the end of life.
At the initial stage of development of type 2 diabetes, the patient does not need injections, but takes tablets that reduce the level of sugar in the body. In this case, you can try to change the system to something else. The main cause of the manifestation of the disease is a significant excess of body weight. Therefore, fasting with diabetes can remove excess weight, which will lead to normalization of blood glucose.
Fasting with diabetes is possible if a person has no abnormalities in the vascular system and complications of a different nature, besides heavy weight. In this case, this technique gives an effect.
The benefits of fasting
Fasting or reducing the amount of food consumed per day can reduce acute manifestations of the disease. When the product enters the body, insulin begins to be produced. If this does not happen, then hidden reserves begin to be activated, and the process of processing internal fats takes place. It is necessary to drink enough fluids to remove all excess from the body. As a result, the body cleanses, toxins and waste products leave, normalization of metabolism takes place, and excess weight disappears. Reduced glycogen in the liver, fatty acids are absorbed into carbohydrates. This process is accompanied in the patient with type 2 diabetes by an unpleasant odor of acetone. This is due to the ketones that form in the body.
Fasting process
To effectively treat starvation in type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to prepare competently, also it is necessary to take into account the moment of getting out of the hunger strike. If a patient with type 2 diabetes decided to try the fasting method, then to start treatment is in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor who knows everything about the patient's body.
Before starting fasting for 5 days, you need to go through complex procedures such as:
- food only with plant food and extra virgin olive oil,
- requires body cleansing with enema,
- consumes at least 2 liters per day,
- phased transition to a diet.
During a hunger strike with diabetes you can not eat, you can only drink. It is recommended to reduce physical activity.
A special moment should be given to the procedure for getting out of the hunger strike and moving to eating healthy food.
Compliance with gradual withdrawal from hunger is required:
- needs to be fed in small portions,
- to increase food volumes gradually,
- products must be vegetable and dairy,
- to exclude salt from the diet,
- products that contain protein can not be consumed,
- the duration of fasting shouldbe equal to its term.
You can not eat all the products in a row. It is best if it is natural juices, diluted with water, boiled vegetables or porridges. You can also eat salads, soups, nuts. The quantity of consumed products should be reduced, not snacking. As a result, it is possible during illness of type 2 diabetes and fasting.
We treat diabetes with fasting
In order for the patient's health not to worsen, fasting should be under medical supervision. In this case, the patient must follow all of the specified rules. For a positive result, refusing food should be of medium duration. First of all, it is required to try, not eat for 2 -4 days. After 3 days of fasting, there is a loss of water, salt, glycogen in the body. The body weight decreases. At the same time, weight loss can quickly return. A fasting of ten days gives good results.
Positive moments of 10 day fasting:
- there are improvements in the pancreas,
- improve the metabolism of the body,
- the load on the liver is lowered.
With diabetes mellitus, such changes do not allow the disease to develop further.
Fasting for a certain period of time gives an impetus to the exposure of a diabetic hypoglycemia. Further, there is a decrease in the possibility of complications that pose a danger to the patient.
During fasting, you must take liquid in large quantities, up to 3 liters per day. In the process of refusing food, glycogen is lowered in patients, internal reserves are mobilized, fats and carbohydrates stored in reserve are processed. Then there is a turning point, there is a transition of the body to internal nutrition. In urine and blood, the level of ketone bodies is overestimated. The general condition of the body worsens, acetone is sensed in the saliva and urine. After 5 days of refusing food, the odor of acetone disappears, the level of ketone bodies decreases, sugar returns to normal, metabolism is established, and the symptoms of the disease go away.
Thus, fasting and diabetes are quite compatible. A treatment in this way a patient is not just the prevention of the disease, but the ideal option for rescue in diabetes, where you need to follow all the requirements.
