2008-03-19 23:14:00 We have added garlic and cinnamon to our diets. I am not sure about the author of this post, but I do think they wrote a good article on diabetes. We've also been told that colon cleansing will help.Our combination of 'changing our mindset' - 'changing our diet' -and 'cleansing our bodies' has not reduced the amount of time my husband sleeps. He does not urinate all the time. But, it has given me a boost. I sleep less, eat less, and have more energy.Home Remedies for Diabetes TreatmentDiabetes or madhumeh as per ayurveda is a disease in which there is improper functioning of insulin and as a result sugar level in the blood increases. Diabetes may cause heart problem, kidney failure, blurred vision if not treated timely.

Type of Diebetes & Diabetic Diets
2008-01-03 23:09:00 Diabetes is the process of your body not processing food properly. This disorder can effect your energy and growth. Food we eat turns to glucose and when you have diabetes the food you eat is not broken down into glucose. Glucose is the basic source of energy for the human body.There are 3 types of diabetes, Type-1, Type-2 and Gestational diabetes. The worst type and the one you will most likely not want to have is a Type 1 because this is where your body turns against itself. In Type 1 diabetes the bodies immune system turns against your internal organs and attacks the insulin produced in the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin shots daily in order to stay alive.Type 2 diabetes is the most common because it is often caused by being overweight and today?s society there is a big obesity problem which helps contribute to this type of diabetes. In Type 2 the body makes enough insulin but for some reason the body does not use much of it, if it uses any at all. Sym...

Avoiding a Diabetic Coma
2008-01-03 23:06:00 A diabetic coma is no joking matter and should be treated as a medical emergency.A diabetes induced coma can occur when a diabetic is not taking precautionary measures and regulating his or her diet and insulin intake. It can occur if a person's blood sugar is too low. It can also occur if their blood sugar is too high. If you're a diabetic, you know that it's extremely important to maintain a balance between a high and low blood sugar.If you're a diabetic and your blood sugar is too low, you may experience diabetic ketoacidosis. Sugar acts as fuel for the body and when a diabetic is deprived of that sugar, their body starts breaking down fat to produce energy. This causes ketones, or acids that can cause a coma if they're left untreated.An extreme drop in blood sugar can cause hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia deprives your brain of glucose, which it needs to function. Typically when this happens, a person passes out. You don't have to be diabetic to experience this. Extreme exercis...

Microscopic Labeling - What You Cannot Read Can Hurt Your Bloodsugars
2008-01-03 23:06:00 Labels can be very deceiving if not understood. The next time you pick up a small bag of chips, stop & look carefully. Pay close attention to the Serving Size,this could be in pieces like chips. One serving is about 11 chips, which one serving size is 1 oz. Carbohydrates is another item of value here, especially concerning your blood sugar count. Remember grams of Sugar is equally as important.If you have diabetes and experience high blood pressure, then Sodium count is also at the top. Table salt is not good for anyone anyway. Chips and sodas are two of the highest count salt wise. Salt for diabetics can lead to water retention, then weightWhat about those microscopic labels you can't even read under a microscope. I have 20/20 vision, if I cannot read the ingredients on a label I will immediately drop the bag, pouch, whatever & run the other way. Think about it, if they don't want you to see whats in there, you most likely don't want to find out either.If you are drinkin...

Diabetis and Your Emotions
2007-10-28 22:47:00 My husband has had suffered from diabetis for several years. He even went to 'court ordered anger management' - and all because the doctors never gave him a diabetis test until this year.We were appalled to learn that all the emotional problems and depression my husband suffered over the last few years was becuase he should have been on a strict died and wasn't. If you become irritable, depressed, sleepy, or angry when you skip breakfast, or spike your sugar/salt intake, then it is time to force the doctors to look for a medical problem. You could save yourself years of heartache.Life Just Keep Getting Better And Better
