There was this guy who jumped off the 37th floor of a tall building. As he fell
people at each floor inside the building heard him say as he passed them
So far, so good…so far, so good...


Diabetes is a disease which cannot be "trusted." I know that's an odd way of putting it
but bear with me for a moment here. As a medical professional
I have dealt with countless cases of diabetes. I have always been amazed people will plan for the future as they build lives
careers
families
dreams…creating and pursuing commitments for the long term… And yet
one issue stands out consistently. People with diabetes tend to hope the disease will just "maintain itself
that it will just stay at status quo for the long term.

Diabetes cannot be trusted to stay anywhere…much less at status quo. Like the guy falling from the 37th floor, people with diabetes tend to keep telling themselves…
So far
so good…so far
so good…so far
so good…" Folks
hope is NOT a strategy. It is a necessity
but it is NOT a strategy in dealing with a disease like diabetes.

Diabetes: The "fall out" is too great to ignore…

As I said earlier
I am amazed how well people can plan for the long term
creating and pursuing future commitments but do NOT plan long-term for diabetes. Of course
the natural question is: "What are the long term issues with diabetes?"

With diabetes
a person is two to four times more likely to develop cardio-vascular disease. Being a cardio-vascular surgeon
I saw this particular problem constantly in my field. And I saw it consistently in young and middle aged people with diabetes.

With diabetes
people are TWENTY-FIVE times more likely to develop retinopathy (deterioration of the retinas). Because of diabetes
24
0
people lose sight every year!

With diabetes
60
of those afflicted suffer nerve damage which can lead to non-traumatic lower limb amputations. This is due to the fact that open sores that do not heal
accompany diabetes. As they become ulcerated
the diabetic faces complications which can lead to amputation of limbs.

People with diabetes are AT RISK for kidney failure.

Diabetes is responsible for the increased risk for strokes…two to six times more likely because of their condition.

Diabetes: the good news or the bad news…

Well
which do you want…the good news or the bad news first?

As a doctor
having dealt with diabetes in many patients
it's always best to know the BAD news up front. Why? Complacency is harmful to your health. The danger with diabetes is people get complacent. Nothing seems to happen until
suddenly
it seems to sneak up on you with its complications…

The bad news can be REALLY bad if you are someone who has any of the following conditions which terribly complicate diabetes. Complicating factors are:
1 smoking

2 high cholesterol

3 high blood pressure

4 obesity

5 physical inactivity

With these factors
predicting the progress of diabetes is very problematic. Simply put
they MUST be brought under control
if possible. Diabetes thus becomes very unpredictable.

By keeping your blood glucose under control
you can reduce the risk of complications of diabetes up to 76%. That's good news.

More good news: By healthy eating
responsible dietary weight loss
regular physical activity
monitoring blood sugar… you can reduce risk in diabetes.

Bad news: Status quo again. You're still "stuck" with diabetes.

Diabetes: Being hit by "friendly fire."

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are auto-immune conditions. In type1 diabetes
the immune cells are mis-instructed to attack islet cells in the pancreas that make insulin.

Mind you
there is nothing wrong with the islet cells. There is MIScommunication by the immune system of the body. In other words
immune attack cells can get faulty messages and destroy healthy tissue. Isn't it just awful that your diabetes can be caused by "friendly fire?" (Military terminology here. The good guys are hitting their own good guys with artillery fire.)

MIS-communication …. hum. Sounds like what's needed is a healthier communication system at the cellular level so the body isn't attacking its own healthy cells.

Now
for some really good news…

Glyconutrition is the nutritional provision which provides the body with healthy CELLULAR COMMUNICATION. In other words
for diabetes
this means less "friendly fire."

A study published in the 1997 issue of the Proceedings of the Fisher Institute for Medical Research showed people with type 1 diabetes who were given glyconutrients "…reported a dramatic improvement in their health
including a decrease in vision problems
better wound hearing
less infections
and lower blood pressure." (Miracle Sugars

Woodland Publishing
p. 26 -Excellent quick reference incidentally!)

Remember
both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are auto-immune conditions. Read carefully
this next statement by medical researcher
Dr. Neecie Moore:

"Glycobiology has achieved critical breakthroughs in the medical field
primarily by addressing what could be the greatest plague in health care today -- auto-immune diseases. Multiple sclerosis
arthritis
diabetes
Crohn's disease and colitis are just a few of these diseases."

Research on glyconutrition is growing wonderfully. For example
the Ophthalmology Department of Harvard University in 1995 reported that one of the glyconutrients (mannose) can be an energy source for diabetes (instead of the damaging glucose)
providing energy without risk of eyesight damage. (Miracle Sugars
p.27).

Also
mannose can stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin "…thus lowering the amount of insulin needed to control this disease." (Miracle Sugars
p. 27. I told you this was a good book! In case you're wondering
I receive no remuneration from it whatsoever. Remember
I'm a physician. Doctors "make money the old fashioned way"…they charge you.)

Oh yes. Glyconutrients are NON-prescription. Anyone can get them and they are non-toxic (they're food!) Safe
NON-prescription
effective…That's the stuff real medical discoveries are made of. Diabetes may very well become a scourge of the past.

Think of it. No more friendly fire.

No more diabetes "status quo."

…So far
so good…
