Conquering Diabetes
Conquering Diabetes Using Natural Methods
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, and accounts for
roughly 90 to 95 percent of all diabetes. It usually develops after the age
of 40. However, the incidence is increasing at a rapid rate among young people.
This is due to the preparation of foods and the poor American diet. It is
also related to the increased incidence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles among
young people in the US. About 80 percent of those with type 2 diabetes are
overweight. It is more common among people who are older, sedentary or
obese, or have a family history of the disease. It is common among people of
African, Asian, Hispanic or Native American ancestry.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease which progresses and can cause significant,
severe complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and
loss of limbs through amputation over time. Treatment differs at various stages
of the condition. In its early stages, many people with type 2 diabetes can
control their blood glucose levels by losing weight, eating properly,
exercising, changing their environment and taking the proper nutritional
supplements. Normally, your blood sugar rises after a meal as glucose is absorbed into
the blood stream. This causes the pancreas to produce enough insulin to
return the blood sugar to a normal level. Diabetic individuals are either unable to
produce enough insulin or their cells have become resistant to insulin and
they are unable to transport glucose from the blood stream to the cells,
thus, they cannot maintain a normal blood glucose level. The cost of
diabetes and its complications today is an estimated $100 billion annually accounting
for about 15% of the current health care spending. It is almost a law that
any person 30% overweight for thirty years will become a diabetic. The
current medical establishment has no treatment or cure for the disease. I
believe there is an answer.
What are the symptoms of Diabetes?
Feeling tired, Blurred vision, Dry, itchy skin, Increased hunger and thirst,
Increased urination, Tingling or loss of feeling in hands or feet,
Non-healing infections on the skin, vagina and/or bladder, Vaginal yeast infections,
weight gain, viral infections and stress. Diabetes, when poorly controlled
can lead to heart and kidney disease, plaquing in the arteries, hypertension,
strokes, cataracts, retinal hemorrhages, neuropathy (nerve damage),
gastrointestinal tract problems, gangrenous infections or sores leading to amputation of the
feet or legs, loss of hearing, blindness, and even death
What do I do for Type 2 Diabetes?
The first step is to take responsibility for your life! The goal for any
doctor or patient in treating diabetes is to bring the high blood sugar
levels under control and as much as possible to stabilize it at a normal level.
This would consist of changes you must make in your diet, exercise and
environment. Good health is attainable, most disease is curable and preventable, when we
