Helping My Friend Beat Diabetes
A close friend of mine was recently diagnosed with diabetes.
When he called to give me the news, he was in shock.
I can understand my friend’s apprehension because diabetes is usually the beginning of serious illness such as coronary health disease, hypertension or stroke.
And diabetes, if not properly managed, can lead to amputation.
Diabetes results in elevated blood sugar levels as a result of the body’s inability to release and respond to normal insulin.
I tried consoling him by telling him that diabetes is no longer a life sentence of painful insulin injections.
That it was possible to reverse his diabetes with simple lifestyle changes.
There are two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
I have no information which suggests that type 1 diabetes can be reversed.
But type 2 diabetes can be reversed because it results from lifestyle events such as:
- Stress
- Heart disease
- Poor diet
- Inactivity
- Environmental factors
- Medications that prevent insulin production
- Excess weight
- Inflammation
Therefore, identifying the cause of your diabetes and making the requisite lifestyle changes, will easily reverse it.
How to Reverse Diabetes
The following are steps to be taken to reverse diabetes:
- Completely remove sugar from your diet
- Stop alcohol consumption
- Stay away from processed food
- Exercise daily
- Don’t stress. Stress is demand, simply reduce the demands in your life.
- If you believe in anything, study and practice and you will be OK.
