Jospeh, age-onset diabetes at age of 40 -- just correct me if I'm wrong -- that means that you've developed a hormonal problem which affects the regulation of insulin which means that your blood sugars are all over the place. The sugars, glucose and others can't get into the muscles and the brain at the right rate. So your metabolism is all up and down over the place. Now, a lot of people get that, what's the prognosis -- what was your prognosis without the PERT, and how is your outcome different from people who have used conventional drugs which I understand is insulin injections and measuring sugar levels?
I think I first have to separate age-onset diabetes and juvenile diabetes. In juvenile diabetes you have a lack of insulin. The body produces either not enough insulin or no insulin at all, and therefore the sugar regulation doesn't take effect at all. And you have to either inject insulin into the body -- that means, use artificial insulin -- or, if there's still a little bit of insulin production there use medication to either increase the production or make the insulin more effective.
On age-onset diabetes, the body actually still produces the same amount of insulin, it's just that insulin seems to have lost effect at the cell gates but also lost effect in the regulation of freeing up sugar from the liver for example. That means that as soon as you eat something the sugar shoots up; it means also that if you go and exercise, the sugar comes down too low, similar like in juvenile diabetes. However, age-onset diabetes can normally be overcome by increasing the metabolic rate of the cells. If you increase the metabolic rate on the cell level, then even the lesser effect of the insulin is sufficient to -- What the inulin does is it actually increases the metabolic rate of sugar into the cells. Now you can also do that by increasing the metabolic rate of the cells by exercise and that sort of thing. So in reality if someone is diagnosed with age-onset diabetes at the age of 40, and go out and increase their exercise substantially their overall metabolic rate increases normally sufficiently to make the system work reasonably again. It still means that the insulin is not as effective as it should be, but with a higher metabolic rate, it doesn't matter that much. Does that explain it enough?
It does, yes.
And that's really what I do. I mean, I keep my metabolic rate high. Even on days where I have not enough time to exercise I would use PERT three to four times a day. On days where I exercise, I only use it two times a day. I still use it every day. But it's the exercise which has started [...] at the age of 40 very much again. At the same time, of course, you can control your blood sugar via diet as well. So you do it from two ends. Does that explain...?
Yes, it does. Thank you very much, yes.
And it's a very common thing, yes. I'm not sure about the figures here in Australia, but something like 50% of men above the age of 50 have either a tendency or actually have a borderline age-onset diabetes situation. A lot of them have actually been diagnosed.
Yes. And just one clarification: That can cause lots of quite serious illnesses? Blood circulation, stroke, heart...?
I mean the major effect is reduced blood circulation. Now, that is normally felt very strongly in the extremeties, mainly in the feet, to an extent that the healing in feet goes down tremendously. But it's also very risky in the eyesight, because one of the areas where blood circulation is extremely important and also extremely sensitive is on the retina. High glucose level can reduce the blood circulation to the extent that you can go blind eventually. And a similar situation is in the kdineys. Kidneys are also very very sensitive and kidney damage is a quite common result of uncontrolled high blood sugar levels over long periods of time. Now, blood sugar level you can -- Or, diabetes you can check or do things. There is a short-term check which is just simply drink a high amount of glucose and see if the body is glucose tolerant or not. Now, while I'm glucose intolerant, that means my blood sugar is not pulled down fast enough, if I go out and exercise or use PERT, it's the high metabolic rate which then pulls it down, and I get it down to a good level. The second test is what's called the long-term test, and you test the sugar in the blood particles. If that is too high, that is very dangerous. Now in somebody who controls the blood sugar level well the long-term test will come out perfect. My long-term test is absolutely perfect, because I bring the blood sugar down often low enough by a high metabolic rate, that the overall effect is ...

In this case reduced Insulin secretion is genetic. Lack of insulin makes the cell membrane less permeable to glucose, resulting ins glucose deficiency of the cells, the tissue etc., weight loss and rapid body degeneration.
Conventional Treatment: Insulin injection, medication and/or diet, exercise to stimulate the metabolism.
Treatment with PERT: Regular PERT treatment increases the metabolism, in particular the glucose metabolism and counteracts insulin related problems. This is particularly important for metabolism of neurons, since neurons (nerves, brain, retina) feed entirely on glucose. Due to the higher metabolism of the body the glucose level of the blood is lowered faster than normal and closer control of blood sugar values is therefore recommended.
The human body counters the reduced glucose metabolism by increasing the blood sugar values. This increases the diffusion pressure on the cell membrane and increases the absorption of glucose. Long term high blood sugar however leads to complications such as arterioscleroses, dermopathie and bladder problems. PERT treatment helps to counter these problems due to higher metabolism of these particular body systems.
Scientific research shows that more than 25% of the western civilized population has a tendency to adult onset diabetes. However only 3 to 5% actually have the disease. It is triggered by
