OK, ive been very fortunate and have never personally suffered with this particular debilitating and increasingly expanding, health destroying ailment the few times my blood-sugar has hit a big spike has been purely through my own doing or i should say over-doingif you know what i mean..!?!
Unfortunately, (hey, nobody should WANT to experience this in any way, right..!) i have gained plenty of experience due to the sufferings of family members and close friends over the last couple of decades or sodiabetes is not fun, it is however, very manageable and in the case of the Type 2 variety, because its more-often-than-not a lifestyle and/or dietary issue, its totally preventable and generally curable thats right, Type 2 diabetes CAN BE CURED IF YOU WANT IT TO BE
and this fact has been proven as true, not just by my own positive experiences, but also via the numerous tests, trials and studies undertaken by major scientific and medical communities throughout the world and Natural products, that you can find at home, feature hugely amongst the means of prevention and cure
meaning YOU DO NOT HAVE TO RELY ON THE MASSIVE DIABETES DRUG INDUSTRY THAT BIG-PHARMA WANT YOU TO RELY ON..!
Cutting to The Chase:
I think, before we go any further, its important that i impress upon you a few FACTS and get some BS out of the way at the same time
TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS your pancreas just does not produce insulin, at allever.
With this type, youre fully dependant on timed and regulated injections of insulin doses directly into your blood-stream.
At the time of writing this article, exhaustive and detailed research carried out by yours truly has re-confirmed that TYPE 1 DIABETES CANNOT BE CURED and if anybody right now is claiming the opposite or trying to sell you some miracle cure, ignore themtheyre either very misinformed or theyre out-n-out lying to you probably because they want to screw you out of some of your hard-earned cash..!
Hopefully this will change at some point in the futureexhaustive studies are still a major ongoing task for the scientific community at large.
The best analogy i can think of is this: Type 1 diabetes is akin to being born without a left handyoull never, ever, no matter the type of miracle cure they try to sell you, be able to grow that handBUT youll absolutely be able to adapt your lifestyle and be fully able to live a full and happy life without it.
TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS your pancreas doesnt produce quite enough insulin, or your bodys cells just wont react to insulin.
Now on the other hand and pardon the (slightly sick) pun, this type of diabetes is very preventable and most definitely curablewith some good guidance, a little bit of effort and some minor lifestyle changes, you DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE OR SUFFER WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES
meaning my analogy looks something like this: Type 2 diabetes is akin to being born with both hands but then later in life you injure your left handif you take the right action at the right time, your hand is eventually fixed and functioning again.
A FEW TYPE 2 PREVENTION BASICS
Stop Consuming Sugar, of any and every typepastries, cookies, fizzy drinks and many other food and beverage types if youve read all my articles previous to this, youll know that sugar is pure poison and youll have learned what it does to you apart from what it does as a major contributor to diabetes.
Stop Smoking i really dont believe i need to say anymore about this stinking, murderous habit as i have written plenty about this too..!
Stop EXCESSIVE Alcohol Consumption moderation is keya little bit of what you like can be beneficial everyday heavy consumption or binge-drinking is health destroying and will definitely worsen your diabetes condition.
Eat Naturally Healthy if youve been paying attention to my newsletters and articles, then you should know by now what im saying herehealthy fats and oils, power-foods and organic wherever and whenever possible simple..!
Exercise i cannot emphasise enough how a daily session of sweat-inducing, lung-expanding exercise is absolutely paramount to your good health and especially important for keeping diabetes at bay it doesnt have to be a long session, 20 minutes will do, and it can be any kind you prefer, so long as you do something it WILL help big-time!
SOME OF THE COMMON UGLY SYMPTOMS
Apart from the obvious rise in blood-sugar levels, there are these:
Constant fatigue
Blurred vision
Numbness or tingling at your extremities (fingertips, toes etc.)
A constant thirst
Excessive urination
Raised blood pressure
Minor injuries like cuts and grazes, are slow to heal.
SOME NATURAL TREATMENTS
While there are quite a number of herbs, foods or methods of remedying the undesirable effects of Type 2 diabetes, these are my personal favourites (and i personally use a few of these practically every day) because theyve always seemed to form a major part of family and friends diets as they made their journey toward their cure, and theyre all pretty much based on things you can easily find in your local grocery store if you havent already got them at home or in your garden:
# 1 Cinnamon
Its effective use as a remedy for Type 2 diabetes is still a topic for debate amongst those that want to take the time to debate it, but the fact is that the consumption of cinnamon is a centuries-old habit that has always been associated with bodily health in more than one way.
Several studies and reviews have been carried over recent years with what i think are very positive results
A 2012 review of several recent studies concluded that the use of cinnamon had a potentially beneficial effect on glycemic controlOne study published in 2009 found that a 500 mg capsule of cinnamon taken twice a day for 90 days improved hemoglobin A1C levels in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1C levels greater than 7 percent).
The results of another study demonstrated that the intake of 1, 3, or 6 g of cinnamon per day reduces serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol in people with type 2 diabetes and suggest that the inclusion of cinnamon in the diet of people with type 2 diabetes will reduce risk factors associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Everyone ive ever known to suffer with diabetes has sworn its helped them as part of their lifestyle they were undertaking to control or totally cure themselves of Type 2 an awful lot of them succeededthats good enough for me!
# 2 Garlic
Already well known for its health maintaining and improving properties, garlic also helps to remedy the effects of diabetes due to its high allicin content, a known hypoglycemia fixer.
Its known to increase the release of insulin and so regulates blood sugar levelsa study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found garlic (and ginger actually) was highly effective in increasing the insulin content in your body so improving glucose toleranceanother study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry proved that garlic showed high potential for protecting your heart from diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy.
# 3 Vitamin C
New studies have added to the hugely growing amount of research showing that vitamin C as well as the regular consumption of high-grade vegetables and fruits, have positive effects against the symptoms of diabetes in general.
Vitamin C in fact lowers levels of sorbitol, the sugar that damages the cells in the eyes, kidneys and nerves of a diabetes suffererthis makes a whole lot of sense when its a given fact that diabetes is a disease known for its ugly record of oxidative damage the damage done to your cells and DNA by rogue molecules called free radicals.
Antioxidants such as vitamin C provide front-line protection against these free-radicals.
# 4 Water
Water has a great diuretic effect and can ensure excess sugar is passed through the act of urination, this heavily assists with the maintaining of a healthy glucose level inside your body.
All the recent studies have proved that by consuming substantial amounts of water of water daily, up to 2.5 litres, sufferers of Type 2 normally show an obvious improvement of their blood-sugar levels.
# 5 Grape Seed Extract
Grape seeds are rich in flavenoids, linoleic acid and vitamin E and thats good reason to suspect theyre of definite assistance toward the curing of Type 2 diabetes.
Taken in capsule form, studies[3] have been carried out on this nutrient rich food source have resulted in no less than a positive feedback each time and diabetes sufferers everywhere are certainly positive that it has helped them in the past and still continues to do so.
# 6 Fenugreek
Used in seed form for Indian cuisine and also found in pill, capsule or its raw form, this is another proven food item thats a definite aid to controlling your diabetes induced problems again, research[4] and scientific trials have proven that it has several beneficial effects for your good health.
The seeds are steeped in hot water and the resultant tea then drank on an empty stomach first thing in the morningthe ground and powdered seeds can be mixed into milk or into other herbal teas etc.
Final Anecdote:
Whatever type or level of diabetes you have, just understand that YOURE NOT ALONE and YOURE NOT TO BLAMEthere are many like yourself on every continentour modern lifestyle coupled with the likes of Big-Food and Big-Pharma, who have made it their mission over the last half century or so to destroy your health with heavily over-processed and genetically modified foods and dangerous drugs to treat the results of consuming those foods is the problem is where the real blame lay.
Be good to your bodyeat wholesome, healthy foods and fats, avoid the sugary poison that the food companies supply in abundance and practise a short, daily session of good body toning, mind calming exerciseand youll successfully cheat the food and the pharmaceutical companies out of at least some of the billions in cash they rape from you and millions of others like you around the globe.

This is something i found from Gareth Lancaster, a normal guy who wrote this for his son who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 9 years of age this was in 2013while it certainly invokes a little sadness, i believe it also invokes hope and the belief that a full and happy life is still more than possible:
Ive got diabetes,
Im injecting every day.
Ive got diabetes,
And it just wont go away.
Ive got diabetes,
And it makes me really mad.
Ive got diabetes,
And, well, some days Im just sad.
Ive got diabetes,
And I really dont know why
Nobody can tell me,
Thats why, sometimes, I just cry.
But Ive got diabetes,
And I still have fun with mates.
And despite my diabetes,
I occasionally eat cakes.
Even with my diabetes,
I play all the sports I like.
And forgetting diabetes,
I go riding on my bike.
So Ive got diabetes,
And I will not let it win.
Ive got you diabetes,
But Ill always keep my grin
