Curing Diabetes

Chronic hyperglycemia results from untreated or poorly controlled diabetes. But acute hyperglycemia results from factors that interfere with glucose controlan acute infection, for instance. If hyperglycemia becomes severe enough, the patient may develop a serious condition, such as OKA and HHNK syndrome.In Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia results when an abundance of blood glucose can’t enter the cells. As the glucose level in the bloodstream rises, the glucose-rich blood becomes hyperosmolar, drawing fluid from the interstitial and intracellular spaces. Because the body’s cells then lack glucose and water, they signal the brain to trigger the patient’s thirst mechanism.

As intravascular fluid and the glucose level rise, the body tries to excrete the excess water and glucose through urination. As more urine is produced and excreted, more fluid is drawn from the interstitial and intracellular spaces, resulting in profound dehydration and weight loss
