As we have pointed out in previous sections, derangement of beta cells function is not the entire story in the development of diabetes. Other glands of internal secretion may be involved, insulin may circulate in a bound, inactive form, or antibodies destroying its effect be formed.Clinical Symposia.
Moreover, as diabetes were seen for longer and longer period and other members of diabetic families were studied, it become obvious that diabetes is an inhereditary disease. Certain members of the families of known diabetics were found to have a number of peculiar characteristics even though their blood sugar were normal at the time of examination.
From all the evidence it has become obvious that the diabetic inherits some unknown abnormality which causes changes in blood vessels throughout the body, including pancreas itself. Thus from many standpoints, the "prediabetes" is a diabetes long before the metabolic abnormalities become apparent. In order to emphasize this fact, we prefer the term "diabetes premelitus," or diabetes before sugar abnormality. Research in the area is essential if diabetes is to be better controlled than it is today. (page 122, 123)

After insulin discovery there are many studies were run and published before 1980 when classification of diabetes had been changed and diabetes type 2 as it is non-insulin dependent type of diabetes started its Deadly harvest. Those who were diagnosed with diabetes before 1980 still have insulin as treatment. For 95% of diabetic population insulin no longer was available. Barking Therapy, Weight Mocking, and other types of abuse therapy were developed. To add drama, there one after another oral anti-diabetic agents started to flood market. If without them diabetics could live then with this therapy beta cells started to stop secret insulin, and diabetes, which was considered as mild form of diabetes took its toll. Today every one out of ten is diabetic. Every one out of two diabetic population is not diagnosed diabetic.
How diabetes diagnosed according to ADA recommendations? Level of sugar in blood. It is higher then 100 mg/dl fasting, or higher then 200 mg/dl random level of sugar. No other tests. GTT test or A1c test are the same, just level of sugar in blood. What is pre-diabetes? It is medical condition when sugar in blood higher then normal but still is not so high to be treated. Even in this stage there are complications already developed, diabetic has no treatment, no understanding what is going ob with his or her health.
As it is said by Bachmeil, Levine, MD., if treatment started early then it is easy to control blood sugar. At the same time many devastated fatal complications never would be developed because of abnormalities under treatment and control. And the fear of devastated low blood sugar would be vanished. When level of sugar is not on critical scale the less dose of insulin needed, and the gap between insulin secretion and insulin in demand is narrow and shrinking.
If today older generation like me and my peers is not possible to save then our children and our grandchildren can be effectively and successfully treated and cured. Every new generation out of diabetic patients will come healthier and stronger. Yes, they will live longer.
