curing diabetes
The diabetes disease
and me. Sounds like a bad movie. Maybe part
of my excursion
of having diabetes has been a bad flick. Let me
tell you why I
say that. You may have experienced a somewhat of
a similar
situation.
When I went to
my doctor in Oakland New Jersey about two and
half years ago
(November 2004) for my yearly physical he told me
that my blood
sugar levels were a little high and I should do
something about
it. I ignored his advice. I thought that this
blood sugar
could be addressed by exercise and taking more
vitamins. With
no game plan I stayed the course. Meaning I did
what I always
did. That was eating what I want, when I want and
how much I
want.
Over time my
blood sugar level naturally increased because I was
living in
denial about my disease. It wasn't until my blood
sugar level
reached 325 that I decided to embrace this disease
and take it on
head first. This article is about what has worked
for me.
Diabetes
disease tip number one My favorite strategy to use when
treating the
diabetes disease is to separate good and bad fats
in the foods I
eat. Bad fats like trans and saturated occupy a
very small
amount of my diet. The good fats like poly and
unsaturated
fats comprise a much larger segment of my diet. This
remedy has been
a blessing for me. The neuropathy in my feet has
lessened and I
feel like I have more energy. So in a nutshell -
eating more raw
foods low in fat will help to control your
diabetes.
Diabetes
disease tip number two As a supplement to altering my
diet I have
taken herbs Fenugreek, Gymnema Sylvestre and Stable
Sugar to reduce
my blood sugar levels. These three products
helped to
accomplish what I wanted. I suggest taking these in
conjunction to
other remedies. My tip is that these herbs will
help but they
will not totally cure you of your diabetes
disease. They
can work in conjunction to altering your diet.
Diabetes
disease tip number three Exercise. Exercise. Exercise.
This is part of
my treatment program. I am sure you have heard
about the
benefits of working out. I have noticed for myself
that when do
some strenuous workouts that my blood sugar level
responds much
more favorably as to when I do a light workout.
Training your
body is a strong tip that can only benefit you.
Diabetes
disease tip number four Learning to relax has helped me
relieve stress
in my life. Stress can only make diabetes worse.
Stress seems to
make many things worse. I have gained some
wisdom in this
area. When a car cuts me off or when I miss an
elevator to
take me to a floor 25 stories high I say to myself
something like
"I am better for it." I am still learning to
address this
even more. I have meditated, which calms me down.
Slowing my body
and mind down has helped me. My tip is to take
some time out
of each day to relax and be with yourself. You ARE
good to be
with. Learn to take it easy.
So in a
nutshell my 4 tips are: Eat foods that support your
cause. Stay
away from fats that make it hard for your blood to
flow and high
sugar content foods. Exercise, keeps your body
moving. Use
herbs and supplements to aid your mission. Relax.
Find the time
to take it easy.
