What if your Only Goal was to eliminate the diabetic symptoms and not just control them?   Where do you start and who is on your side.

March 2008, Chicago, Illinois I hear a lot of Type 2 diabetics who complain about the terrible side effects of Type 2 prescription drugs.

Nausea, pounding heart, vomiting, diarrhea and weight gain are typical symptoms. You read every day that even heart attacks and stroke are being attributed to these allegedly ‘helpful’ drugs.   Then there is round 2; a prescription to lower the new high blood pressure problem.

There are about 3,000 specialty diabetic clinics in the US today; they are excellent and focused on the ongoing control and management of diabetes.  They clearly meet the goal of many of their patients and the doctors have a better understanding of the management of diabetes than doctors with few diabetic patients.  These clinics are adding educational TV in the waiting rooms, sponsored by the Meter companies, and the drug companies. 

Osteopathic physicians like Dr. Mercola (mercola.com) say, “Not only is type 2 diabetes completely preventable, but it is virtually curable for anyone who is willing to put in the hard time and work and recovering their insulin and leptin sensitivity.”

Clearly we are talking about simple but serious life style changes. These changes are as simple as learning to select and eat healthy foods, maintaining the optimal weight for you and adding some good exercise to your weekly routine. 

Those that successfully control or reverse their Type 2 condition use more than weight, diet and exercise. They rely on a support network of friends and families. Use positive reinforcement to stay on track. Overcome temptation with willpower and perseverance. It's a balancing act between your mind, body and soul. To stay focused on your goals, you need to find that balance.

There are a number of natural supplements that are supported by clinical research that should help you take off weight, and support normalizing blood sugar levels.  When you are successful, you will need to reduce or eliminate your meds, (always with the counsel of your medical practitioner.)

Stay Off the Needle!
