Researchers have been looking for years at the exact physiological processes that lead to type 2 diabetes, and have been focusing on what are known as Beta Cells in the pancreas.
New research has uncovered a very specific way that the critical cells are attacked and killed, leading to insulin resistance and eventually type two diabetes.
To summarize what the Beta Cells do, they are critical in the communication of the body’s metabolic processes that tell the pancreas to release insulin.
If you take down some or all of that communication line, like destroying cell phone towers, eventually the pancreas finds it harder and harder to receive the signal from the body that it’s time to produce and release needed insulin.
Scientists have seen for the past decade or so that Beta Cell death has been the primary cause of insulin resistance and have been looking to find the reasons for the attack on the cells…and think they may have found a culprit.
Iron- in concentrations that are too high…but don’t blame the messenger. It is a specific protein that carries iron into the cells that ends up bringing far too much of it when the body is undergoing widespread inflammation.
Beta Cells get overwhelmed with iron because inflammation turns the transporter protein into overdrive, much like an assembly line that gets out of control. Only in this case, unless the inflammation is turned off, the “stop” button on the transporter protein will not get pressed.
This lends further proof that inflammation throughout the body can have devastating effects on specific systems and metabolic processes.

I am very interested in this article. I am wondering if your Diabetes Program contains all it needs to take care of this situation in my body. I believe I have your Program fro Reversing Diabetes already. georgia
May be The Facts!
If Iron is involved in the process, is there any hope for those of us who were born with Hereditary Hemochromatosis and have Iron overload?

Clyde – I’m not an expert on Hereditary Hemochromatosis but I do know it’s very important to eat a lot of antioxidant rich food since the iron creates free radicals in the body. The trick is however to focus on antioxidant food that is not too high in iron. So yes there is definitely hope and you can keep Hereditary Hemochromatosis at bay.
This does not explain why there is an inflammation in the first place. More iron is just a reaction.
Why insulin is not getting into the bloodstream? Maybe the cell pathway is block by something else, like trans fats?
Sorry, I am 74, have type2 diabetes, and most of the time I feel fine except for a touch of arthritis, but then at my age that should be no surprise,so diabetes and what we eat, the whole process medication etc. is making me rather cynical, the real culprits in all this in my opinion is the Supermarkets, with the large food suppliers who appear to have an obsession with adding sugar to the vast majority of products.
