Diabetes Type II Assessment
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that is characterized by a systemic psych-neuro-immuno-endocrine imbalance that conditions changes in insulin and blood sugar levels with a cascade of systemic inflammation markers. If these are not caught in time, they can cause serious damage that is very difficult to repair.
At Sanoviv we have established protocols for the early detection of the biochemical warning signs that, in time, can develop into Type II Diabetes. Our goal is to avoid and prevent the acute and chronic complications of this disease. Some of the most important ones are:
- Acute myocardial infarction
- Hypoglycemia
- Chronic hyperglycemia
- Coma
- Stroke
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Diabetic gastropathy
- Fatty liver
- Peripheral or central neuropathy
- Peripheral vascular insufficiency
In view of all this, we now know that the unilateral approach (one doctor, one drug or treatment) is inappropriate in dealing with this chronic psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinological imbalance which can lead to early aging and chronic degenerative diseases like the ones listed above.
Applying our Functional Medicine approach to patients with Type II Diabetes is the key to a successful outcome in assessment, therapy and prognosis.
Our approach covers the full spectrum of this issue. We assess the pathological mechanisms of your physiology, biochemistry, structure, spiritual and energetic aspects to find all that can be contributing to a partial or permanent elevation of the levels of blood sugar.
Also, one of our goals is to prevent changes that can unleash future problems with blood sugar and insulin in the body. We look for factors that ^alone or in conjunction, can be responsible for this:
- Genetic factors
- Environmental factors
- Lifestyle factors (diet and exercise)
These can play a fundamental role in the development of Diabetes throughout our life; we really only need one trigger to start the whole disease process.
Our assessment tools help us find the necessary information from your clinical history to know:
- What antecedents predisposed you to the development of this disease
- What problems might have triggered the imbalance
- How to find the root cause of the different symptoms that you experience.
Further assessments can include:
- Routine testing such as EKG, Spirometry, chest imagery, ultrasound.
- Bio Impedance Analysis: We evaluate your metabolic rate which helps us find if your diet is right for your type. Plus, it gives us your actual level of body fat and lean mass.
- Laboratory testing: We verify markers that are related to metabolic syndrome such as the thyroid function, the insulin release and Vitamin D levels, among many others.
- Biofeedback devices: We can evaluate the presence of food allergens that can trigger inflammation or the presence of any other blockages in your body.
- Sleep study: We can do testing for sleep apnea which is often related to obesity and is a trigger for general inflammation.
- Vascular integrity study: We can test the endothelial response to stress and measure the release of nitric oxide as an indicator.
Our integrated team of health professionals will thoroughly assess where these imbalances are coming from and find the root causes that are contributing to Type II Diabetes. This is usually a multifaceted problem that no one health professional can fully grasp or treat. The team that you will be working with is led by your Medical Doctor and includes: Dentist, Psychologist, Chiropractor, Nutritionist and Fitness Expert.
Integration
Not only do we have state of the art diagnostic and assessment tools, we have a fully integrated team of health professionals who will study all of this information and connect the dots of not only why your biochemical, physiological, structural and psychospiritual individuality has developed Type II Diabetes, but also how you can regain your health. Like Type II Diabetes, disease usually comes from multiple imbalances in the person's life. You will work with your team of health professionals who will work with the entire staff of health professionals to create a program specifically designed for you from all the information obtained.
