Insulin made in the body is dependent on amino acids. Amino acids are produced from the metabolism of protein. Therefore the quality of insulin produced in the body is dependent on protein consumption. Poor metabolism of protein, poor quality proteins, and lack of essential amino acids (essential amino acids are found in food and are not produced in the body) can lead to poor quality insulin possibly resulting in insulin resistance.

Diabetics are between a rock and a hard place. The problem is eating adequate amounts of protein may produce toxicity and cutting down on eating protein may affect the production of high quality insulin. A diabetic's metabolism of protein is often inefficient or insufficient. Therefore eating adequate amounts of protein can lead to toxic levels of protein leaking into the bloodstream, due to insufficiency or inefficiency of protein metabolism. Not eating enough high quality protein can result in inadequate protein supply or poor quality of available amino acids.

Dr. Bob is mentioned many times on this web site. Dr. Bob was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away. He advised diabetics supplement high quality amino acids by consuming whey protein and soy powder as protein supplements. Soy has the ability to lower cholesterol and blood pressure along with many other benefits to diabetics. Dr. Bob recommended mixing 2 parts whey to 1 part soy when combining them into a protein shake. To sweeten protein shakes he suggested the herb Stevia to help improve the taste. Both whey and soy are simple proteins that are easy on the digestion and usually do not lead to toxic protein levels in the bloodstream.

One more recommendation Dr. Bob gave for diabetics is to use pancreatic enzyme supplements, when protein was found leaking into the bloodstream. This involves an entire protocol and is listed in the article, "Improving the Efficiency of the Pancreas."

In conclusion, diabetics have inefficient metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Insufficient protein metabolism can lead to difficulty for diabetics, consuming enough high quality amino acids from protein digestion. Eating enough protein can be toxic for a diabetic and eating too little protein can result in other difficulties including poor insulin quality. One idea suggested in this article is to supplement high quality amino acids such as whey, soy, and other protein supplements that are easy on digestion. Remember that the modern medical establishment admits it has no cure for diabetes and suggests it may not have one in your lifetime. Therefore diabetics need to explore alternative ideas to help them in living a normal life free from side effects. Dr. Bob advised protein supplementation of easy to digest predigested protein as one consideration for diabetics as a way to improve their health and diabetes.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
