http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/09/03/diabetes-type-2-glucagon.aspxMedical chemists in the US and Europe are trying to treat type 2 diabetes by targeting receptors for glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels when they get too low. They are developing molecules that they say can selectively bind to glucagonenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP1 (Build: 31106.3070)http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/09/03/diabetes-type-2-glucagon.aspx#184941Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:36:30 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:184941supyokat<p>What about individuals who developed diabetes later in life due to a low birth rate as a child? My mother&#39;s diet is impecable low grains, lots of healthy vegetables, flax and fish, (she weighs only 110 pounds) she regualrly excercises but when the doctors thought it might be okay for her to come off her perscribed drugs, her blood sugar sky rocketed once again despite no change in her regular healthy routine. I think the reversal of this disease is much harder than you make it out to seem. There is no getting back your beta cells once they&#39;ve been depleted which is the case with her.</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=184941" width="1" height="1">
