Functional VS Pathological Blood Chemistry And What It Means To Diabetes

To really address the diabetes aspect of this statement, we have to evaluate what functional vs pathological blood chemistry even means.  The trend for years has been to look at our blood work from a on or off proposition with very little gray area.  Physicians look at the numbers and if nothing is out of the pathological range, it is just a wait and see attitude.  Now this wouldn’t be the worst part of it, if the values for what is considered normal were not averaged by the growing population of sick people.  What this means is, that as our society becomes sicker, the qualifications to get into this crowd becomes more difficult.  So by the time a disease process is caught, it can be a long time into development.

The functional ranges are more stringent and therefore easier to discern what is going wrong with the body.  The patterns for disease process are evaluated as a whole and the “gray areas” are what we are looking for to assist people from a pre-disease state to a healthy state.

What does this mean to my diabetes?  First, with functional blood chemistry it is possible that you could have avoided it in the first place.  Second, it means that there are tools to help you understand why your blood sugar is out of control.  And finally, it means that there could be a solution to getting your blood sugar under control and avoiding the horrible outcome that diabetics face as the disease process continues to destroy the body regardless of medications.
