Diabetes seems to be the end results of water deficiency in the brain, to the point that the brain's neurotransmitter systems, particularly the system that is regulated by the neurotransmitter serotonin, are affected.

It is within the automatic design of the brain to peg up the glucose threshold so that it can maintain its own volume and energy requirements when there is a water shortage in the body.  When there is a gradually establishing chronic dehydration in the body, the brain has to depend more on glucose for its energy value and its metabolic conversion to water.

Under the urgent circumstances produced by stress, up to 85% of the supplement energy requirement by the brain is produced by sugar alone.   This is why stressed people resort to eating sweet food.  While all the other cells need to be influenced by insulin to take up glucose through their cell walls, the brain does not depend on insulin to carry sugar across its cell membranes.

It seems to be that the natural design of the brain to steer the physiological mechanism in the direction of higher glucose level in the body when there is persistent dehydration that would damage the brain more that it could recover from.  

The brain resuscitates itself in the same way that a doctor resuscitates a patient with intravenous flued containing sugar and salt.  The main problem stems from one very important factor the salt metabolism (both sodium and potassium) of the body also become negatively affected when there is water deficiency in the body.

This condition should be treated with an increase in water intake and diet manipulation to provide the necessary minerals and amino acid balance for tissue repair-including brain tissue requirements.

It has been shown that the brain amino acid balance for tyrptophan is affected in diabetic rats.  There seems to be a much lower level of this amino acid in the brain when diabetes exists.  Tryptophan in turn regulates the salt intake of the body.  When there is tyrptophan deficiency in the body, there is also a total body-salt shortage.

With lower salt retention as a result of tyrptophan deficiency, the responsibility for holding water in the body and outside the cells falls onto the sugar content in the blood.  To do its new job, and compensate for the lower salt, the sugar content rises.  The way this happens is so simple it is almost unbelievable.

One of histamine's deputies which become increasingly active in water-distribution systems is prostaglandin E.  This chemical inhibits the insulin-making cells in the pancreas, preventing them from making and secreting insulin. 

When insulin is not adequately secreted, the main body cells do not receive sufficient sugar and some amino acids. Potassium stays outside the cells, and the water that accompanies potassium does not enter the cells, either.  In this way, the cells of the body are forced to forgo their right to water and some amino acids, and they gradually become damaged.

This how diabetes becomes the cause of many associated disease conditions.  Diabetes is a good example of next-generation damage that is caused by dehydration.

Whereas the onset of dehydration-induced diabetes is normally seen in the elderly and is often reversible, the more structurally serious and irreversible variety of the disease is seen in younger people.  The juvenile variety of diabetes needs to be treated carefully before it becomes a totally irreversible type diabetes and permanent structural damage takes place.

Basically the cause of is the same in children as in adults, except that in adults there is more reverse in the system.  In children, the process of physical growth strains the system much more quickly.  Children are constantly dehydrated, and their amino acid pool is in a state of constant fluctuation.

At the moment, there seems to be total reliance on the belief that genetic diction is what promotes the occurrence of diabetes, particularly in the young.  One important fact to remember is that the DNA structure is held together by proteins that also obey the many dictates of water as their ultimate regulator. Water is the common factor for all protein functions in the body, including the DNA-manufacturing system.

Accordingly, the associated genetic factor maker in diabetes may not be a dictating factor for disease production ; rather, it may the indicator of a deep-rooted, dehydration-caused damage that has also affected the DNA recording system-a passive outcome.
