Luckily, many people can recover from Diabetes type 2
Type 2 diabetes
In this interview, we talk to a client who had been suffering from diabetes type 2 for around 10 years before he started his treatment. The underlying root causes that can develop type 2 diabetes over time were not dealt with in his body. The interview below shows you how this can happen. At the end, we’ll be sharing with you the results after the 6-month Personalized Formula and Natural Detox treatment.
Interview
A day in the life of a patient with type 2 diabetes
I still remember the day I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. It was about ten years back. I laid on the exam table as the doctor continued dressing my wounds and told me what my blood reports revealed. I couldn’t believe him because I never had any symptoms! However, the doctor explained to me that diabetes is not a disease that will make itself evident by producing peculiar symptoms as in fever or cold. It develops silently and progresses the same way. In fact, most people come to know they have diabetes just the way I did; while they undergo routine tests or develop any complications. Well… My life changed a lot after this discovery. Let me explain to you to my routine and an average day since diabetes entered my life.
Waking up in the morning
The first thing I do in the morning is apply moisturizer on my skin, as it has always been dry. I have been told that I might be more prone to developing skin complications of diabetes due to the itching and scratching I constantly do due to the dryness.
Hence, I make sure I apply moisturizer every now and then to keep my skin well-hydrated. In fact, I apply it at least 3 to 4 times a day, which includes right after I get up and before bedtime. I understand that if my skin becomes too dry, I will develop itching and will be forced to scratch, which may lead to ulcers and wounds that are difficult to heal when one has diabetes!
Starting the day
The latest addition to my morning rituals, after I was detected with diabetes, is cleaning by tongue with a tongue scraper. My doctor told me that fungal infections of the skin, as well as oral cavity, are common in the diabetic patients. So, taking proper precautions to maintain the oral hygiene is of utmost importance.
I clean by tongue daily after brushing my teeth so that I don’t develop infections like oral candidiasis. I also need to pay attention to the webs of my fingers and toes when bathing, as these are the favorite places for fungi to reside in, grow and cause infections.
Another addition to my bathing habit is drying my body thoroughly after taking a bath, especially the armpits and other skin folds including the webs. This obviously is meant to prevent infections due to fungi that are known to thrive on moisture.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner
I was advised to consult a dietician when I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. The dietician prescribed me a special diet along with a list of foods to eat and avoid. Depending on my diet, I spend every weekend preparing a tentative food plan for the week. This makes grocery shopping easier.
I know what exactly I am going to eat and what not. So, I simply pick up everything that is needed for that week without even glancing at the other tempting foods. Proper food planning during the week has helped me manage my blood sugar levels effectively. I follow my diet strictly and the results have been quite encouraging.
Well… It does upset me sometimes! The list of foods I have to avoid is much longer than what I am allowed to eat. This has forced me to stay alert during grocery shopping as I may be tempted to buy something I shouldn’t be eating! It’s difficult; but I do follow it for the sake of my health!
Going to work and taking medications
Since I suffer from type 2 diabetes, I do not have to take insulin injections. I suppose they are meant for those suffering from type 1 diabetes. I am prescribed some oral medications. I need to take the doses before breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have to carry all the medications with me to my office. I have set an alarm half an hour before lunchtime to remind me to take the doses so that I can have lunch when it’s time.
Prevention of diabetes type 2 complications
I have realized the only way to prevent complications of diabetes is to keep my blood sugar levels in control. This primarily depends on how well I control my diet! I have given up several of my favorite foods including hamburgers, fries and even carbonated beverages.
I am told it is not just the carbohydrates that can be harmful to me. Even certain fatty foods such as fried chicken and fries must be avoided to keep up in good health because these foods can increase the cholesterol levels and lead to a disease called atherosclerosis, which can worsen my diabetes.
So, I have removed even these types of high-fat items from my list of foods to eat. As far as carbonated beverages are concerned, even the so-called diet soda and sugar-free drinks are dangerous for me as they do contain hidden carbs that can raise my blood sugar levels! Therefore, I have switched to drinking a simple glass of cold water to quench my thirst!
What are the daily limitations and what are the fears?
Diabetes has brought with itself lots of fears! The fear of complications, fear of skin problems, fear of infections, fear of cataract, and much more…
All these fears have taken away the pleasures of my life to a large extent. I cannot enjoy my life the way I used to do before. Any decision I take, including something as trifle as going out for dinner, has to be weighted for its pros and cons. There are too many limitations just like the restrictions on my activities!
What does the future look like?
Life has become difficult after diabetes came in! But, over the past few years, I have kind of compromised with the changes I had to make. Although, sometimes, I think to myself whether I will have to live my life according to what this disease “allows” me to do, and the answers is an unfortunate yes.
But, retrospectively, I also think that the changes I have made following diabetes are something I should have done long back. If I had followed a healthier diet and exercise regularly, I may not have to suffer from this disease. So, it all comes down to the same!
Whether now or in the past, my life and health depend on how well I take care of my diet and physical activities. What I am doing now is just the same I should have done earlier. This thought makes me feel a bit better and helps me get going with my efforts to keep diabetes in control.
What are the risk factors?
My lifestyle is the prime reason as for why I am suffering from this disease. I was never serious about what I ate. I did try, in some occasions, to start exercising regularly only to give it a miss after a few weeks or months. I strongly feel that if a person adopts healthy habits, he or she will live a longer and healthier life free from diabetes and other diseases.
Diabetes is incurable! I cannot reverse the clock of age and live a disease-free life. However, I strongly urge everyone to take a note of this fact and start changing your unhealthy habits and I am sure, this will help you to prevent diabetes.
The evolution of diabetes type 2
Diabetes is a slowly progressing disease. Actually, it may not progress at all if you keep your blood sugar levels in control. However, if you do not take proper precautions, it can cause considerable damage to the nerves, kidneys, brain, blood vessels, heart, and the eyes.
The abnormal changes in these organs occur so slowly that you will not even come to know what’s happening inside your own body until one day you will develop a serious complication like diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, cataract, hypertension or a heart attack.
Hence, it is not wise to take this disease lightly and ignore its hidden implications just because you ‘think’ you are in good health. I know it is as important to stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine as it is to check your blood sugar levels regularly. I consult my doctor in case the blood sugar levels are high so that he can change the medications accordingly.
What are the psychological effects when you have diabetes type 2?
I have lost the freedom of my life. The fact that this disease can cause complications slowly over several years without any obvious symptom is quite scary. It is the fear of not knowing whether I am actually healthy or not grips me! I can never be sure of having proper control over diabetes unless I have undergone a complete check-up. This uncertainty has made my life more complex. Sometimes, I wish diabetes caused a few more obvious symptoms that would warn us if something wrong happened inside the body! I wish!
The end of the interview
This interview above took place several weeks before starting his recovery process with the help of the NaturalMedicine.ge expert team. His practitioner reached out to us and we were happy to help him. This blog article above was a summary of the conversation we had with him.
The natural view
In the natural view, type 2 diabetes is a disturbance in the blood system and digestive system that prevent insulin from being distributed adequately. In practice, we see that type 2 diabetes is preventable and also curable when the underlying root cause is solved and removed by the immune system.
To do this, we provide a urine analysis and a Natural Detox and Personalized Formula treatment package. Our unique urine analysis is aimed at investigating substances, such as chemicals, (heavy) metals and other inflammatory factors, give a clear indication of the load on your body cells and your cell renewal process.
The six-month Personalized Formula and Natural Detox treatment
With our previous experience in helping type 2 diabetes patients, together with this interview and the results of his urine analysis, we were able to create a personalized treatment that would help this client get rid of diabetes type 2.
Our formulas support the immune system in cleaning out all necessary viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and other toxic substances out of the blood system, organs, tissues and lymphatic system.
This natural process needs six months to remove all inflammatory (infection) agents such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi from the body and to restore the natural cell balance.
How the client has improved
Only after a few months, the disturbance in the blood system and digestive system that prevented insulin from being distributed adequately in this body was fixed. His previously dry skin started to improve after 3 months. As there is a more stable flow of insulin, his blood sugar levels are much more stable these days. He enjoys eating types of food that he couldn’t eat at all before, but he still tries to keep those to a minimum. He is off his medication and feels like a completely healthy person!
