               10 Ways To Naturally Treat Diabetes (Preventing

               and Reversing It In Some Cases)

               Take Preventive Measures

               A key way to decrease the chance of becoming diabetic is to maintain
               control over your weight.

               About 80 percent of people who are type 2 diabetic are
               overweight/obese. It’s believed obesity causes insulin resistance.
               Insulin resistance will cause pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

               Healthy Diet

               Once you’ve been told that you’re diabetic, it’s time to take control
               over your diet. The diet is the key to living healthy with diabetes and
               naturally reversing it (only if you have type 2 diabetes).

               The kind of diet you follow will have a huge impact on your blood
               sugar levels such as sugar and carbohydrate consumption, as foods
               with these ingredients are turned into simple sugars known as glucose.
               Glucose is then released into the body by way of the blood.

               The pancreas’ beta cells then produce the insulin hormone, which is in
               charge of getting rid of the glucose and sending to various bodily cells.

               The cells need glucose to fuel the body, giving it the energy needed to
               make it through the day-to-day rigors of life. It’s not uncommon for
               diabetics to suffer from weakness and lethargy because of this very
               reason.

               Since the body isn’t using insulin like it needs to be – either through
               the lack of producing enough or insulin resistance – the glucose stays
               in the blood and the cells starve from the lack of fuel.

               Again, sugar and carbohydrates affect your blood sugar levels, which
               is why you need to be mindful of any food with them in them – think
               potatoes, sweet potatoes, cakes, candy, cookies, etc.
