My full definition of CDDS includes two additional categories of blood sugar dysregulation. The first is the prediabetes category, which is defined by an FBS of 100–125. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), greater than one third of the general U.S. population is prediabetic, and 27% of Americans 65 and older have a diabetes diagnosis. The other category includes those with an FBS of less than 100 but who have postprandial spikes of 125–140 mg of glucose in the blood. Research shows these people with blood sugar regulation problems have a significant increase in all the degenerative diseases associated with CDDS, although they are not officially diabetic in traditional terms. CDDS includes increased rate of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetic neuropathy, pancreas dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, and cancer. As expected, the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes increased sevenfold in individuals with an FBS of 105–109, as compared to those with an FBS of 85 or less. Because of this highly relevant research, I am defining CDDS in the broader context of not only all types of diabetes and prediabetes (FBS of 100–125), but also those with FBS of less than 100 (previously considered normal) who have blood sugar spikes of 125–140, or any postprandial spike of 40 points no matter what the blood sugar. CDDS includes all forms of blood sugar dysregulation that results in all levels of blood sugar imbalance, which activate and increase CDDS and its associated chronic degenerative conditions.
