An estimated 25.2 million people in the United States have diabetes, according to the 2010 CDC report. Most are type 2, non-insulin dependant diabetics. But the children are catching up with their parents on this one. The trends of the last decade show some improvement, but we've still got a long way to go. With diabetes comes a number of health issues. Cardiovascular Disease (or CVD), Congestive Heart Failure(CHF), and Heart Disease to name a few. CVD is where your venous system is impacted, leading to blindness, limb amputations, and organ failures. This is a silent killer, that effortlessly shortens your life by about 15 -20 years. Why doesn't the American Diabetics Association (ADA) speak to the public about making more dramatic dietary recommendations? or about the long term effects of the medications used in the treatment of diabetes? It's simple really, it's all about the money.

Here's the good news: You can cure yourself of diabetes, and can even repair some of the damage done. Once you do things that encourage your body to work for itself, you'll see your sugar numbers drop. With your doctors help, you can gradually ween yourself off your medications.

Go out and have some fun! Walk, run, go for a bike ride, play ball, wash the car, take your dog for a much deserved walk, play with your kids outside. Seems simple, right? I know, that one is probably the hardest one to sell. But if you think about it this way, a 30min walk everyday might add 15 years to your life. I hope you'll feel a little inspired!

Reduce Carbohydrate intake. This is not to say you can't ever eat these things again. It simply means you need to get your body working again, and able to process these foods properly. NOT FOREVER, just until your sugar is under control. Carbohydrates are things like breads, pastas,w hole grains, rice, foods made with sugar, cornstarch, oatmeal, and all sorts of beans.

Try different techniques in boosting and repairing your digestive system. Getting your digestion back in order will give you what your body needs to control blood sugar levels. Things like cleansing the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. If you have stomach problems, working on reducing stomach acids through diet. Avoiding coffee, caffeine products, hot and spicy foods, high acidic fruit juices to name a few. Again, this doesn't mean FOREVER, just try if for a few months and see if there's some improvement.

There are herbs out now, that suggest they can restore your pancreas, liver, kidneys and other organs. As well as other restorative therapies for the body. This is equally important for those who have diabetes, even though they have a healthy active lifestyle. You can improve your own ability to secrete insulin, repair your digestive system, allowing you to control your own sugar levels.

Know that you can cure yourself! My mom pointed out the other day, that the statement "Living with Diabetes" always makes her cringe a little. AS iF...you have no other choice but to sit back and take it. I still talk to nurses and health care professionals from time to time, who really believe that it's incurable...That's just not true!!!!

Why aren't more people screaming about it? Because there's a lot of money in it for the drug companies to keep you sick. Metformin (formally known as Glucophage) is a drug commonly prescribed for type 2 diabetics. Americans are spending 200 billion dollars a year on prescription drugs. Metformin alone makes about 2 billion dollars a year, and is damaging to your kidneys and liver. My husband's currently in stage 3 kidney failure from many years of Metformin use. Its like the ADA and the FDA have gotten together and worked out a formula...ADA+FDA=$$$.

Given the large numbers of people suffering today with diabetes, I feel it's time to inform people again of their choices. Getting into shape is never a bad idea, and will make most people feel a lot better. But even if you aren't the "exercise" kind of person, a daily 30 min walk could impact your health in a big way. Reducing your carbohydrate intake will help people to naturally loose weight, as well as support the quest for improving digestion. Although I do think doctors are starting to encourage other diets, foods to avoid, or new things to try, they still speak as though they have something to hide. As for the ADA and the FDA, I think their recommendations to the public should be considered criminal. You can cure yourself of type 2 diabetes, and lead a medication free, healthier life.
