Diabetes is much like accelerated aging

Mitochondria are central components of our cells that generate the  majority of our energy from nutrients (ATP). But their dark side is that  they can generate unstable chemicals that harm both the mitochondrion  itself and other components of the cell. This resulting damage is  thought to play an important role in aging. If mitochondria play such  crucial roles in aging, then these discoveries could very possibly lead  to the first bona fide anti-aging therapies. One of the more intriguing therapies is Cellular Activation Therapy  which actually improves the function of all mitochondria and allow them  to produce ATP from carbohydrates (which is something that diabetic  people do not do well.) By reestablishing proper mitochondrial function it may be that the study  of diabetes leads us also to an attractive tool for reducing the aging  process in the intracellular level. In other words, Cellular Activation Therapy may be the first way that we  extend life without the use of chemicals or drugs, because CAT only  uses human recombinant DNA insulin to stimulate the liver.
