hi guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about the effects of high blood sugar on

your arteries and your vascular system

okay you realize that 70% of all deaths

from diabetes involved a vascular system

so that’s why I’m doing this video

because 70% of all deaths from diabetes

that’s a huge bunch of people so why not

talk about this specific thing now

there’s a couple things that happen in

relationship to high sugar and what it

does to the arteries number one it makes

the capillary walls thicker okay

it makes the walls of the blood vessels

thicker and the name for that is called

arterial sclerosis which is hardening of

the arteries and where the arteries

become very stiff so you’re also going

to see high blood pressure because

there’s no elasticity anymore

and you’re gonna see a demon and the

ankles and the feet so if you were to

press on the foot it leaves a dent it’s

called pitting edema because the loss of

this capillary function all right number

two you’re also going to have plaquing

and clacking is the end result of damage

within the arteries where the body

starts accumulating cholesterol deposits

protein and calcium as a band-aid to

heal the area but it forms a plaque and

that is called

atherosclerosis okay which blocks the

coronary artery of the heart and it’s

going to cause chest pain

it’s called angina and diabetics are

four times more likely to develop just

simply because high blood sugars and

that’s what a diabetic is they have high

blood sugars that’s why I had to take

medication what’s interesting to me is

that if you look up atherosclerosis we

would say the cause is unknown they

don’t know what the cause is okay but

there’s risk factors of diabetes and

obesity and smoking and things like that

well I’m going to show you my favorite

book here called CIPA encyclopedia of

endocrinology volume 4 and on page 164

they have different pages that describe

different aspects of insulin and the one

I’m going to talk about is called

diabetic micro angiopathy okay so let’s

see what frank knitter says about this

high blood glucose causes a thickening

of the basement membrane of the

capillaries of the arteries so it

basically makes the arteries and

capillaries thicker okay so we do know

now the relationship here in fact

diabetics are three times more likely to

have thicker arteries it goes on to say

that it dumps protein into the arteries

vascular changes of the retina that’s

the eye an accumulation of protein in

the walls of the small blood vessels it

affects the microcirculation of many

organs yeah so right here it talks about

the accumulation of plaquing and also

the thickening of the walls so high

blood sugar is the cause because there’s

a dysfunction with insulin so the best

thing to do is if you’re diabetic make

sure that you do everything you can to

bring these sugars down naturally and

improve the underlying cause of this

which is high levels of insulin that

then lose their function and then it

can’t control it anymore okay I put a

link down below of some great

information on what to eat to support

healthy blood sugars check it out hey if
