Dealing With Diabetes
I have Type 2 diabetes and have been battling it for several years. So far,so good.I’ve managed to control it but still take medication (glyburide/metmorphin).My objective is to get off the medication. But, to be honest, it’s difficult.The solution sounds simple–change your diet, lose weight, and start an exercise regimen.It’s not easy but it can be done.What gave me the will power to do something about it was a stern warning from my cardiologist–either fix your diabetes problem or look forward to a shoterned, very disabling departure from this mortal coil.This was alarming news, to say the least, as I was almost 60! So I turned over a new leaf–diet and exercise became part of my daily life. And it can be done with the proper incentive, which I now had.You can beat diabetes naturally if you change your lifestyle. It’s interesting to note that there are cultures of people in the world today where Type 2 diabetes is virtually non-existent. So what’s the reason it’s becoming so common here in the U.S..S.?
What id Diabetes?
Some people are born with type 1 diabetes or develop it when they are young children. This type of diabetes requires insulin injections and daily blood sugar monitoring with immediate corrective measures if blood sugar swings are too extreme.Type I diabetes is incurable. Type 1 diabetes accounts for only 5% of the total number of cases. Type 2 diabetes is the one we can effectively control.
Diabetes is a life-threatening disease? Very! The early symptoms of untreated diabetes mellitus are related to the elevated blood sugar, or glucose,levels. Excessive levels of blood sugar reult in higher levels of sugar in your urine. This increases your urination frequncy and that leads to dehydration. Other symptoms include blurred vision, extreme tiredness, and stuborn infections that just seem to take forever to clear up.I myself used to feel lttle sharp pains in my feet and fingers. These are more like sharp “pings” of pain. Later stages of diabetes are nasty–amputation of toes and legs, kidney failure, even blindness.
Another form of diabetes, known as gestational diabetes, occurs in some women during pregnancy. It is a temporary condition caused by pregnancy and usually occurs in the later stages, once the baby has formed but is still growing
Although there is currently no cure for diabetes mellitus, it can be controlled successfully with an active treatment plan. The potential benefit of pancreas transplants and islet cell transplants in Type 1 patients is being investigated.
Symptoms of Diabetes?
Most Type 1 sufferers get it early in their lives. The classic signs of diabetes include:
1. More urination as the body tries to get rid of the excess sugar in its blood
2. Extreme thirst, as your body loses fluid through increased urination
3. Increased hunger, because the cells need nutrients
4. Weight loss, because without insulin, the body begins to starve.
The onset of Type 2 diabetes is often very gradual and may develop without any symptoms at all. Most Typ2 2 sufferers don’t know they have it until symptoms develop. It results from inactivity and a poor diet. It’s normally referred to as “Adult Diabetes” because 90% of diabetic sufferers are Type 2 and develop it later in their lives. Sadly, because of our sedentary lifestyle these days and the easy availibility of junk and fast food, we’re seeing more cases of Type 2 diabetes develop among teenagers and even younger children who are obese.
Your weight affects your health in many ways. When someone is overweight, his body can’t make all the inulin it needs to offset the higher levels of blood sugar. It can also cause high blood pressure. The Diabetes Prevention Program, a three-year clinical trial conducted on diabeste patients last year, showed that losing even a few pounds can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes because it helps your body use insulin more effectively. In the clinical study people experiencing a 5-7% weight loss saw significant reduction of diabetes risk. So here’s a little bit of info–if you lost twenty pounds, kept it off, started to exercise on a regular basis, your blood sugar levels would drop significantly!

Are Doctors Lying About the Cure for Diabetes?

“The People” have had enough apparently!
An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”
It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding diabetes – its control, management, and even its cure!
That’s right: “cure!”
And what should shock you even more:
It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.
Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.
But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.
Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?
It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.
Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days – as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)
Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)
But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”
One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he overcame “naturally” the dreaded disease Diabetes!
Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)
But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!
So, if you’re wise and want to find out about this while it’s still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:

But don’t be surprised if one day soon you return to find this site completely removed with a US Flag waving in its place (in the name of “freedom” no less!)
How To Identify Warning Signs For Diabetes

Although urine and fingerprick tests are able to highlight elevated levels of blood glucose, you still need to undergo at least one in depth blood work tests to confirm diabetes – or not: the more consistent tests are the random or fasting blood glucose test as well as the oral blood glucose intolerance test. Your symptoms and test results are both judged to determine the diagnosis. If you think you have diabetes but have no symptoms, you need a repeat blood test carried out on a different day.
Diagnosing Symptoms Of Diabetes
Diabetes can only be confidently diagnosed through a series of detailed blood tests in laboratory conditions. It’s normally a lot easier and faster to diagnose type 1 diabetes than it is type 2, mainly because type 1 symptoms occur a lot quicker and are more severe. Type 2 can be picked up when health checks in other areas identify a premature sign of diabetes or similar complications. One case study is when abnormal changes at the back of your eye may be noticed at a routine eye examination.
Conclusive evidence of your diabetes can only be accurately diagnosed by several lab based diabetes test: an arbitrary blood sugar test, a glucose drink tolerance test and a starvation glucose exam. Tests such as fingerprick and urine tests are inadequate, in their current structure, to substantiate whether you have diabetes.
For a blood glucose result of 6 to 7 millimoles per liter, your blood glucose is not normal, though not high enough to conclusively diagnose diabetes. The local doctor should be able to cover the implications and meanings of your results and any impact they have for your future.
Tests, Tests and More Tests
Diabetes is all about managing your lifestyle, so during the first 3 months from being diagnosed, you’ll undergo regular checkups and tests to make sure your health is OK and to make sure your diabetes is under control. The date you receive your test results is when your yearly checkups start, known as your annual review. If any potential issues are highlighted at your review, you will be referred for the appropriate type 2 diabetes diet support.
Height, Weight And Body Mass Index
Your body mass index (BMI) is calculated. A persons BMI signifies if they’re overweight or clinically obese.
Managing Your Blood Pressure
Having high blood pressure is a common symptom of type 2 diabetes. If your blood pressure is high over a period of time, you will be offered one or more drugs based solutions to bring it down.
Foot Examination
Your health professional can monitor the circulation in your feet together with your nerve health and will help you take good care of your feet.
Testing Your Eyes
The retina at the back of your eye is checked for damaged blood vessels with a ophthalmoscope or a specialized eye camera.
Any More Tests?
Blood tests are performed to check kidney, liver, and thyroid function, and your blood fat ratio is healthy. A HbAlc test measures your glucose level during the last 2 months. Finally they’ll ask for a urine test (a possible sign of early kidney damage).
