Diabetic Clarity

This is what most people don’t understand – a proper diet and exercise
can stop a person from developing diabetes.

What are the signs of diabetes? You may see signs of diabetes in your
family and friends without even realizing it. It’s possible that people
you know are diabetic and don’t even know it.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention believes one in three
Americans will get diabetes at some point in their life – staggering
numbers if you really think about it.

What about those Type 2 diabetics that are diagnosed with their
condition? Would they change their ways if they knew diet and
exercise could reverse the disease?

Of course, to have all this, it means dismissing the myths and beliefs
that impede their chances. The drug companies don’t want diabetics to
know that diet and exercise plays a huge role in reversing Type II
diabetes.

The healthcare system is in real trouble – the nation is in trouble. This
is why it’s important for people to start to take personal responsibility
for their health.

Many people who understand what diabetes still have questions about
their health such as:

• Should they be reducing their sugar intake?
• Is the weight increasing their risk?
• If they are skinny, does this lower their risk?
• Are diet and exercise so important?
• How can blood sugar levels be controlled?

Bear in mind that are some issues that people have no idea what to
ask? For example,

• A person who has diabetes for over five years has increased
their chances of developing cardiovascular disease.
• Getting regular exercise can increase insulin sensitivity, which
allows you to alleviate your medication dosages.
