Diabetes – Could You Be a Diabetic?

by amauser on December 27, 2009

Diabetes is a chronic disease and hence its treatment is also chronic or long lasting. However nature has provided a cure for this disease in the form of various natural products catering the best medication needed to prevent diabetes.

Fenugreek seeds are another bitter option for natural cure. Take 10 grams of fenugreek seeds and leave them to soak overnight in a glass of water. In the morning you may blend the mixture and then use a sieve to separate the juice. This juice may be taken on empty stomach. After using for quite some time, the wonder effects of this treatment would start appearing.

Nature has provided us with many healing herbs and trees. We just need to identify them to gain benefits. Diabetes is a slow killer disease taking on a major percent of the world population and is among the top list of killer diseases affecting affluent countries. So we need to find some natural cure which can be used either in isolation or in combination with other methods of treatment.

With this, it can be easily said that people who have problematic pancreas or cells are automatically at high risk to suffer this disease. As mentioned earlier, those who have genetic predisposition are usually among those who cannot run away from this high risk. People over the age of 45 are also very susceptible to this illness. This can be associated to failure of the body to function properly. There is also such as thing as insulin resistance syndrome that predisposes people to diabetes. Studies also prove that race and ethnic backgrounds should be considered. Hispanics, Asians, Blacks and Native Americans are prone to developing type II diabetes. Being overweight (people who have greater than 25 body mass index) and hypertensive also increases the risk of developing certain types of diabetes.

Since it is not getting into the cells, the glucose stays in the blood and some is excreted in the urine. High blood sugar is an unnatural state that can cause damage to all of the systems in your body and, if not treated, can be fatal. This is the reason your blood sugar levels, as well as the presence of “sugar” in your urine, are important indicators of where you are at in this process.

Your body has an amazing ability to compensate and keep you going, even under adverse conditions, but again, only to a point. One of the problems with diabetes is that it may not show any symptoms until much of the damage to your heart, nerves and blood vessels has been done. On the other hand, if you catch it early enough, the problems can be reversible.

There are some classic symptoms of diabetes, such as excessive thirst, excessive hunger, frequent urination, blurry vision, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue that you should be aware of, especially if you have a family history of diabetes. If you have any of these symptoms, it is a simple matter to get your blood sugar checked. Don’t wait for your body to give you a more alarming wake-up call. The sooner you discover that your blood sugar is elevated, the sooner you have a chance to correct it, and avoid the systemic damage this disease can cause.

Getting regular eye exams can also help. Many people have discovered that they have diabetes when visiting their eye doctor to get their glasses or contact lenses checked. They say that your eyes are the “windows of your soul”, but they also can be indicators of elevated blood sugar. In other words, the blurred vision you have been experiencing may not be due to a need for new glasses, but could have a more serious underlying cause.

I should note here that Type I diabetes, also known as “juvenile diabetes,” an autoimmune disorder, is not the same as Type II diabetes. Type II diabetes, which is more closely connected to lifestyle, also accounts for more than 90% of the diabetes cases that occur.

So, now we are back to where we started. Whether you or a loved one has been diagnosed with diabetes, whether you have a family history of this disease or not, you can put yourself in the drivers seat of your health. The first step is to educate yourself about healthy eating. Learn enough about the foods you eat to make good choices. Eat regular meals and healthy snacks, made up of fresh, whole foods with proportionate amounts of carbs, proteins and fats. Limit or avoid overly processed food, junk food and fast food. Become label savvy so that you can evaluate whether the products in the store aisles are worth your food dollars and will fit well into your healthy eating lifestyle
