Nutrigenetics is the study of the interaction of genes and diet. The Diet Channel has published an article explaining what nutrigenetics is and how it will revolutionize the world of diabetes.
Researchers believe elevated blood sugar can be mapped back to a genetic reaction. Drugs are only overriding the cause of elevated blood sugar and forcing the sugar into the cells, causing damage over time. Nutrigenetics is addressing the cause of the elevated blood sugar and may suggest a better diet to control your diabetes. Genes control how you metabolize certain vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. These genes can vary from one individual to the next. See what happens to Buddy the Elf when he consumes way too much coffee? Yes, I know - that's Hollywood. Nevertheless - a comical example of what nutrigenetics explores.
Consumer-friendly tests are available for these gene and diet interactions. The tests are done with a cheek swab. You send your swab off to a specialized lab, which analyzes DNA from the cheek cells. You receive a report identifying your gene variations. A qualified health professional can explain the test results, and make specific diet and supplement recommendations to optimize your health. If this is a test you're interested in taking, Sciona's Mycellf Program will be happy to prepare your profile. Open up and say Ahhhh.

1. Hi Allie Beatty,
Diabetes [HYPERglycemia] is NOT a disease ...
www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1363768&blobtype=pdf
Abstract: "Nutrigenetics refers to genetic variation in response to nutrients and may affect nutritional requirements and predisposition to chronic disease."
OR ... Nutrigenetics refers to genetic variation in response to nutrients and may affect nutritional requirements and may help identify Individuals fortunate enough to be predisposed to hyperglycemia / diabetes mellitus rather than the alternative neuropsychiatric illnesses faced by Those who lack the 'HYPERglycemic safety' [aka diabetic] response to repetitive "relative HYPOglycemia".
David Healy is one of the clearest Writers on the subject of 'non-hyperglycemic' / carbohydrate treatment [eg via SSRIs 'selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors'] of neuropsychiatric illnesses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Healy_%28psychiatrist%29
Researchers RJ Wurtman and JJ Wurtman state: "...many patients learn to overeat carbohydrates (particularly snack foods, like potato chips or pastries, which are rich in carbohydrates and fats) to make themselves feel better. This tendency to use certain foods as though they were drugs is a frequent cause of weight gain, and can also be seen in patients who become fat when exposed to stress, or in women with premenstrual syndrome, or in patients with "winter depression," or in people who are attempting to give up smoking. (Nicotine, like dietary carbohydrates, increases brain serotonin secretion; nicotine withdrawal has the opposite effect.) It also occurs in patients with normal-weight bulimia...".

Commercial production of insulin began in 1923.
In 1924 Seale Harris published his discovery of "relative HYPOglycemia" ["Hyperinsulinism and Disinsulinism" @ JAMA @ vol 83 @ pages 723-733 @ 1924] ... "relative HYPOglycemia" a brain starved state associated with the following neuropsychiatric illnesses: Depression, Insomnia, Anxiety, Irritability, Crying Spells, Phobias, Lack of Concentration, Forgetfulness or Confusion, Unsocial or Antisocial Behavior, Restlessness, Psychosis, Suicidal Behavior; Exhaustion or Fatigue, Sweating, Tachycardia, Anorexia, Chronic Indigestion or Bloating, Cold Hands or Feet, Joint Pains, Obesity, Abdominal Spasm; Headache, Dizziness, Tremor [inward or external], Muscle Pains & Backache, Numbness, Blurred Vision, Muscular Twitching or Cramps, Staggering, Fainting or Blackouts and also Convulsions.
Insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance apparently protects Individuals from neuropsychiatric illnesses associated with "relative HYPOglycemia".
Prior to 1983 insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance was often associated with type 1 & type 2 Diabetics because insulin resistance aka glucose-resistance is a natural adaptative safety response to excess exogenous animal and/or excess endogenous human insulin [aka HYPERinsulinism].
Since approximately 1983 glucose-resistance associated with obese Diabetics has been diluted because GM insulin has removed all traces of C-peptide. As more Diabetics of all types are treated with GM insulin the ability to 'type a Diabetic' via resistance to insulin becomes more challenging. UNdrugTREATED type 2 Diabetics certainly are the Masters of glucose-resistance c/o their abundance of C-peptide and are all the more healthy for it ... BUT as various HYPOglycemic / ANYdrugTREATED related steps are taken which deplete C-peptide availability from all Diabetics and create other HYPOglycemic / ANYdrugTREATED [including pharmaco-nutrition] combination methods eg including chromium & cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CLPr) to help 'force-feed' glucose aka "gavage" into cells that are already overflowing with glucose stores ... glucose-resistance is becoming futile...
The fact is that type 1a, 1b, 1.5, 2 & 2.5 (pregnancy) diabetes mellitus are all manifestations of the same cure ... for a the disease of "relative-HYPOglycemia" all of which types [of diabetes] are currently being treated with GM insulin or other HYPOglycemic substances [inc one of the newer ones proposed ... "cacao liquor proanthocyanidins (CLPr)"].
Type 1a, 1b, 1.5, 2, 2.5 diabetes mellitus could / should all be graded as to the Diabetic's degree of GLUCOSE-resistance [rather than insulin resistance] eg the amount of glucose a Person can consume before their LIVEr becomes overloaded and their kidneys choose to make glucose overflow into their urine [because the GLUCOSE is being RESISTED].
Human Beings, including 'Diabetics' have ZERO requirement for eating GLUCOSE & glucose dense foods [aka carbohydrates] and certain Human Beings, including "type 2 Diabetics" actively demonstrate this with substantial & beneficial "GLUCOSE-RESISTANCE".
All 'Diabetics' have a glucose 'allergy' [aka glucose resistance] to a greater or lesser degree because the CARBOPHILIA fashion is to continue to eat glucose dense carbohydrates too often ie too often to be processed by a 'Diabetic's LIVEr' that is already 'overflowing' with glycogen / glucose stores.

Diabetes aka HYPERglycemia is a protective physiological response to the extraordinary dangers of relative-HYPOglycaemia.

Relative-HYPOglycemia diseases [associated with 'diabetes mellitus'] start when 'treatments' including ignoring/fighting glucose-RESISTANCE continue/increase [such as those treatments which exclude eating less often].

WHAT PREVENTS HYPERglycemia & HYPOglycemia...
Eat Less Often ... specifically ... Eat JUST clean water [zero % carbohydrate] between meals & eat ONLY when your blood glucose level, following your previous eat, has NATURALLY reduced to your chosen baseline blood glucose level [eg as related to the relative fuel demands of your particular activity level] and maintaining this habit, of 'supply & demand' glucose control, makes your prevention, of diabetes mellitus, sustainable.
