Over the years i have lost loved ones (family and friends) to unfriendly and incurable diabetes. :(. I wish i knew then what i know now i could have been able to help. Never the less i know this post will help as many as possible. Amen! :). Diabetes is an unfriendly friend that will never go away once it comes your way but never worry for it can be silenced and properly manged. All you have to do is follow my directions and you will be fine or able to help a loved one. The idea i am going to be sharing is one which i have seen work effectively.:)
There are two types of diabetes ie the type1 diabetes which was known as the juvenile-onset diabetes. It is refered to as juvenile because it usually develops in children and young adults. It is caused by an auto-immune reaction where the body's defence attack the cells that produce insulin... Patients diagnosed with type1 diabetes are usually insulin dependent. This is a rare kind of diabetes... The type2 diabetes is the most common. It is refered to as the non-insulin dependent diabetes or the adult-onset diabetes. It accounts for 90% of all cases of diabetes. In this case the body does not completely stop producing insulin rather the body cannot respond properly to the insulin produced. This type2 diabetes can remain undetected for many years, pls always check your system from time to time this will help you detect any anormally and not just diabetes.
In time of all my observations i have come to note that a major mistake patients diagnosed with type2 diabetes make is the complete cut off of carbohydrates. Carbohydrate is a major nutrient which the body needs to produce energy. It is the fuel of the body if you ask me. Most diabetic patients i ve seen that cut off carbs from thier diet look very old with very pale and sagged skin no matter their age. This change occurs within 2-3 weeks of this cut off. I don't wanna bore you with my plenty stories. lol. Here are some steps to managing diabetes type 2:
step1: WATER THERAPY
As far as i am concerned water is the most beautiful thing that happened to all living things. To carry out this therapy be sure that where you can ease your self is available. This is an act of dedicating 3hrs of your everyday life to drinking water and urinating freely. For those working in offices it can be managed trust me (ur health first). As water is a blood purfier it will help reduce the amout of sugar in ur blood stream with ease.
Step2: EAT A LOT OF VEGETABLES &fibers
Beautiful vegetables :D. I call it it beautiful because vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants which gives our skin that radiant glow it needs. Despite the beauty it gives it goes on to purify the blood, cleans the kidney of all the unwanted toxins responsible for the improper response to the insulin produced. Some examples of these vegetables are: pumpkin leaves (ugu as its locally called), scent leaves (nchanwu), utazi leaves,etc. Fiber is important because it helps you feel full and help ur digestive system to work properly. Fiber can reduce the absorbtion of sugar.Vegetables should be part of ur daily meal for its benefits goes a long way in managing diabetes.
Step3: BALANCING CARBOHYDRATE
Like i said before, cutting off carbohydrate is a major mistake. Yes i know that carbohydrate is broken down to glucose and it can cause the blood sugar to rise but this doesnt mean you should cut it out of ur diet completely. Some carbohydrates have great health benefits. Remember it is said that the brain needs sugar to function properly. For example whole-grain foods and fruits provide you with fibers vitamins and other nutrients you need (will share more examples of healthy carbohydrates on facebook).
Step4: EXERCISE
The kind of exercise i am talking about here is one that includes reading. Yes you ll get to know why i have included reading. Once you eat carbohydrate your sugar level goes up. But exercising helps balance it out and keep it in a healthy range. Doing some sit ups, squatting (yes o squatting.lol), jugging, yoga etc will not just give you that perfect tummy, butt , or body shape, it uses up sugar in the body and that definitely helps regulate blood sugar. Now here is why i included reading, for some old people or physically challenged persons that may not be able to do some of these exercises, reading is a way of working the brain and as the brain is working sugar is being used up.
