    Diabetes is a problem of such large scale that it is attarcting the attention of the fiscal controllers in Government around the world.  It is wholly treatable but very costly and once drus are used they probably have to continue for the rest of a persons life.

    What is not so well known is that with very simple dietary modification before onset we can prevent diabetes entirely. Once it has taken hold then we can achieve the same or similar result with a much more radical diateray regime. The point of this entry is to alert you to the fact that you can do a lot to prevent diabetes and it can be  redressed without drug intervention in most if not the majority of cases.

    Living well with diabetes - controlling your blood glucose levels

    The odds are that you or someone you know has diabetes already or is at risk for developing this disease. Nearly 21 million Americans—or roughly one in every 14 people—have diabetes, and many more are at risk. Of course, if you or someone you love has diabetes, the disorder is about much more than a statistic. It means a new way of life.

    However, there’s plenty of good news emerging about diabetes. Research shows that keeping your blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible is worth the time and effort. Rigorous blood sugar control can enable you to delay or even prevent the progression of diabetes and its debilitating long-term complications.

    The treatment regimens needed to achieve and maintain near-normal, or “tight,” blood sugar control differ for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 treatment centers on replacing insulin to offset the body’s inability to produce it. Type 2 treatment typically relies on exercise, weight loss, and one or more medications to overcome insulin resistance and compensate for the insulin shortfall. Insulin injections, though, may become necessary. Most people with type 2 diabetes also have the added burden of managing one or more other conditions, such as obesity, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Your treatment goal, regardless of which type of diabetes you have, is to keep your blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible to prevent damage to your eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, and blood vessels.
