Type 2 Diabetes and Heart diseases are among the conditions with the highest mortality rate in the USA. Even though management goals have been put in place to control the normality of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), most of these strategies have failed. However, the health and nutrition departments are still working towards discoveries and interventions for successful reversal of insulin resistance outcomes. The evaluation of the comparison study between current traditional guidelines on carbohydrates and fats to the T2D and CHD new paradigm would provide a better understanding of the efforts that have been put in achieving glycemic control.
The primary objective of controlling diabetes is achieving a near level of blood sugar. According to the traditional guidelines on carbohydrates, persons with Type 2 diabetes should have an approximately 45 % carbohydrates of the total energy intake (Hamdy et al., 2018). Consequently, the traditional guidelines caution Type 2 Diabetic patients against sugar added diets increasing risks of their glycemic conditions. According to the dietary guidelines for Americans with concern to Calories balancing, people should engage in a lot of physical exercises and consume fewer calories for people who are Obese (Hamdy et al., 2018). The traditional dietary guideline further expresses how an excessive amount of carbohydrate in the diet leads to overwhelming of insulin regulatory system. In another context, the guideline recommends the replacement of saturated fatty acid calories with monosaturated fatty acids through the limitation of synthetic fat consumption (Hamdy et al., 2018). From the analysis, high carbohydrates diets often increase glycogen levels in the body, and displaced during oxidation leading to fat accumulation, increasing chances of cardiac diseases (Hamdy et al., 2018). Even though the replacement of carbohydrates with monounsaturated fat in persons with type 2 diabetes, reduces risks of glycemia, it still raises weight gain problems.
Most of the modern diseases are associated with dietary behaviors and lifestyles. Based on the risking factor of Type 2 Diabetes and Heart diseases, a new paradigm has been introduced with efforts of curbing the increased cases related to the condition. The new paradigm intervention takes a different approach from the traditional dietary guidelines, which majors its control on the dietary measurements (Ismail-Beigi et al., 2017). From the analysis, most of the intervention processes to Type 2 Diabetes-related to symptoms of the nutritional mischieve, which is a different approach in the new paradigm which tries to find the solution from the basis of the symptoms associated with dietary imbalance (Ismail-Beigi et al., 2017). There are two major paradigms incorporated in the new understanding of insulin resistance thought to be key in the treatment of type 2 Diabetes. From the analysis, the lock and key paradigm are one of the approaches used in explaining how the insulin receptors deter the entry of glucose into the cells to cause cell starvation (Ismail-Beigi et al., 2017). However, studies consider this approach as one approach to the understanding of the paradox. The approach has another possibility since the cells cannot be able to produce excess fat in the liver when the receptor does not allow entry of glucose into the cell.
According to the study, there is an alternate paradigm called the overflow paradigm, which explains the cause of obesity and insulin resistance in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (Ismail-Beigi et al., 2017). The increase in glucose intake leads to increased filling of the liver with fatty cells straining the liver cells. In another context, the counter-reaction of the liver cell is to try decongesting the fatty liver cells, which also explain the possible failure of using insulin as an intervention program to Type 2 Diabetes (Ismail-Beigi et al., 2017). Studies have shown that there can be a possibility of reversing Type 2 Diabetes without the incorporation of surgery. From the analysis, diet control, which allows body starving, can successfully restore the normal insulin response when the Predominantly fatty liver is allowed to wash out the excessively accumulated fatty cells in the liver.
From the analysis, there is still a high mortality rate of Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular diseases. According to the traditional dietary guidelines, the regulation of carbohydrates can be essential in the reduction of calories consumed in the body, which is likely to increase the risks of glycemia. The approach is different from the new paradigm approach, which relies on the roots of Type 2 Diabetes development. In the study reflections, a normal insulin response system can be achieved when the practitioners understand the overflow paradigm and how it can be reversed. Therefore, with these approaches, the health and nutritional system would develop a complete intervention program for Type 2 diabetes and CHD.
