Diabetes mellitus or simply diabetes, is a condition described as a high level of blood glucose (blood sugar), either due to inefficient insulin production, or because the cells in our body do not respond well to insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose; Therefore, the glucose level must be kept at a certain minimum for the brain to function normally. After eating foods high in carbohydrates or protein, blood sugar normally rises; this rise triggers a release of insulin from cells in the pancreas called beta cells. Insulin "opens the doors" of cells throughout the body. allowing glucose to enter the cells, and as glucose enters the cells, the blood sugar level drops back to normal and insulin release is reduced until the next time protein or protein is eaten. carbohydrates.
In people with diabetes, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed and used by cells, leading to hyperglycemia. If not properly controlled, diabetes can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, edema, nerve damage and infections of the mouth, gums, lungs, skin, feet, bladder, genitals and skin ulcers, polyuria (frequent urination ), polydipsia (intense thirst) and polyphagia (intense hunger).
In Mexico, 1,100 new cases of Type 1 Diabetes are reported each year in people under 15 years of age, producing an alarming number of 25,000 cases of death per year. Monitoring blood sugar levels is a key component in the treatment and management of the disease. Research has indicated that people who keep their blood sugar levels within the individual target ranges set by their doctor have a good chance of reducing the risk of associated complications. In many cases, intensive lifestyle changes in diet and exercise can prevent, reduce or delay the risk of developing diabetes in adulthood.
Action of CBD Oil Against Diabetes
Cannabidiol or CBD, is a cannabinoid compound that has been studied in recent years with great interest due to its tremendous therapeutic potential within different diseases and chronic conditions. From Israel we receive the latest developments regarding cannabinoid studies in different disease models, in this case the use of CBD within diabetes.
The group of researchers led by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, popularly known as the “grandfather of cannabinoids”, found among the results of their study that chronic inflammation of different tissues has a very marked relationship with insulin resistance. and therefore the appearance of type 2 diabetes.
CBD has the ability to promote anti-inflammatory metabolic cascades after docking/binding to its endogenous cannabinoid receptors within our endocannabinoid system. As a consequence of the presence of CBD, it is suggested that sugar metabolism and the immune system are also affected by its properties.
“Unlike insulin therapies and other current diabetes medications, CBD could suppress, reverse and perhaps cure this disease,” says Mark J. Rosenfeld, Scientific Consultant in Charge of ISA Scientific, an Israeli company that recently signed a contract to establish cannabinoid therapies. On the other hand, as seen until now after the use of CBD oils, no adverse effects or levels of toxicity have been found, which will not affect the daily activities of patients such as working, going to school, playing sports, driving, etc
Potential of CBD oil on diabetes:
- Glucose level stabilizer
- Anti-inflammatory action
- Neuro-protective effects
Sources for the Creation of CBD Oil?
The only plant today capable of acting as a source of this compound is Cannabis sativa. However, you must have a very special strain of said plant, in order to have the purest and most therapeutically valuable form of CBD. For this, the use of industrial hemp is necessary, which has no potential to be used as a plant. psychotropic, since its THC concentrations are tiny.
It is also recommended that final products rich in CBD such as oils have organic materials free of pesticides, herbicides and pathogenic microorganisms. In this way there will be no cross reactions and the individual will be able to benefit from the properties of CBD in a purer and unaltered way.
