Diabetes is a disorder which is related with large amount of sugar in the level of the blood. It strikes the metabolism of the body. The food which we eat is broken down into glucose for the purpose of growth and energy. After digestion the excess glucose which is present in our body is used for the purpose of development by the cells. The hormone insulin is required by our body to move glucose from blood into the cells. People suffering from diabetes have no production or very little production of insulin in their body.

This is an excerpt from a letter by Richard Moore, MD, PhD dated August 31, 2009. The Treatment of Diabetes is based upon the idea that the main role of insulin in the body is to lower blood sugar (glucose) levels. Indeed, blood sugar levels rise in diabetes and thus sugar spills over into the urine. Hence the name diabetes mellitus or sweet urine. But the idea that insulins main action is to lower blood glucose turns out to be a historical accident. Basic research done between 1958 and 1963 clearly demonstrates that the main action of insulin is to stimulate the sodium-potassium pump and to reduce the acid inside the bodys cells. A study by Dr. Ken Zierler at Johns Hopkins and also others by my group clearly demonstrated this. Work done by a basic scientist at the University of Illinois also indicated that the high blood glucose in diabetes is not the cause of the pathology. Recently, other investigators at Johns Hopkins have shown that potassium deficiency can cause diabetes. Both Dr. Zierler, the scientist at the University of Illinois, and myself made repeated attempts to inform the American Diabetes Association about this, but in every case, they refused to listen to us. But the glucose dogma was (and is) so strong that almost everyone just knew that tighter control of blood glucose levels would solve the remaining problems to which diabetics are prone. So the NIH conducted the ACCORD study in which the blood glucose in each of 10000 diabetics was lowered to normal …
