curing diabetes
The signs were all
there. The Blurry Vision, the constant
urination, the fatigue. However when this insidious disease came
upon me, I no had clue as to the problem. However in reality you
may think that I was novice on the subject of diabetes. However
in reality I was not. My cousin Bobby was affected by diabetes
from a young age. He was 22 years my senior however, I can
remember when he used to eat, he would sweat profusely. I recall
even there were times if he missed his insulin, he would behave
as though he was drunk. I totally missed one of the most
important sign of diabetes, that it can be inherited. (Type 2
Diabetes runs in families, Type 1 diabetes is more isolated)
When I began to investigate about the signs and symptoms of
diabetes. I found out some startling information as a Type 2
diabetic, that my grandfather died from this disease. Back in
the 1960's the knowledge & health care on this subject was
rather limited. As I reflect back on the day that I was
diagnosed with diabetes, it had a numbing effect on me. I
noticed a few days before that everything I looked at was
blurry. Given the symptom, I personally had no clue as to what
it meant. So I went to the eye doctor thinking that my glasses
were the problem. He said " would you mind reading the chart".
Little did he know that I could not even distinguish the largest
point size! The doctor said "that this is not adding up, he
looked into my eyes and said I believe you have diabetes". Now
it all began to make sense, the signs and symptoms that I was
experiencing, because the night before when I was resting it was
uncomfortable night. That night as I recall I retired about 1:00
am in the morning my feet was totally numb. When I walked it
literally felt like I was stepping on cactus. I later came to
find out that this is called peripheral neuropathy. Wellness
support makes a great product that has reduced my pain
tremendously. I highly recommend that product to anyone who
suffers from neuropathy.
Please if you suffer from obesity, I would like to encourage you
to see a doctor immediately. The long term effects of diabetes
can be devestating. Check you Body Mass Index (BMI) He might
advice you to change your diet, lose weight, otherwise the
symptoms of diabetes can get worse. In other words seek a
preventative cure before diabetes becomes more advanced.
Dietitian, Physicians, and Diabetic Educators can help debunk a
few of the myths that are out there like a piece of cake can
kill you, people with diabetes shouldn't exercise, Hypoglycemia
Kills Brain Cells. All of these are just myths. My Personal goal
is to reverse my diabetes ( I have lost 30LBS) and help as many
persons to understand the dangers that are involved. My Mother
has a friend around the corner who has lost both feet to
diabetes, he is a young many about 44 years of age who now
devotes his life instructing others as to the dangers of this
disease. What I have come to find out that if we are to reverse
diabetes it requires the following.
#1. Proper Attitude in recognizing the Sign and Symptoms. #2.
Exercising Vigoursly when possible. #3 Monitor Glucose levels
constantly. #4 Lifelong Education #5 Diet ( Proper Diabetic
Diet) #6 Foot Care (Neuropathy) #7 Eye Care #8 Proper Medications
With a few of these steps what I am coming to realize is that
the sign and symptoms,need not be a mystery. Also with proper
care you can lead a life, that is comfortable and fully
rewarding.
