What You Don’t Know About Diabetes Signs and Diabetes Symptoms

Diabetes is in two broad types; Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus. Diabetes Mellitus is the more popular type, for obvious reasons accounts for one-third of cases of cardiovascular accident commonly known as stroke.

In this piece, we shall be concerned with Diabetes Mellitus; its causes and management.

Diabetes simply put is a chronic disease state that results in glucose interference. Glucose is very essential in the metabolic pathways in the body. For glucose to be utilized by the body, a hormone known as insulin has to act on it to make it fit for body consumption. It’s worthy of note that glucose here does not mean the conventional sugar, as the layman knows it. Glucose is the end of the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and oil, the 3 main components of food.

In diabetes, there is either an insufficient supply of insulin or a relative lack of insulin.

What Factors Call Your Attention to Diabetes In as much as there are individual variations in the presentation of diabetes, there are universally capital symptoms that would need further investigations by a medical expert. This includes:

Excessive Hunger : Most diabetics find themselves excessively hungry and insatiable. This is as a result of the lack of insulin needed to utilize glucose for the body’s need, so the body lacks glucose even among the intake of so much. Excessive hunger in medical parlance is known as polyphagia.

Excessive Urination : This needs a careful interpretation. The patients definitely pass more urine after indulging in plenty fluid intake. This is not part of the diabetic symptoms. We are interested in excessive urination without provocation. A very reliable index of excessive urination is the total amount of urine passed at night (nocturnal). Pause and ask yourself how many times you urinate at night (between the hours of 10pm to 6am). If you answer 4 times and above, you would definitely need further investigation on possible diabetes presence.

Tingling Sensation at the Feet : This sensation is subject and varies for individual to individual. This is one of the symptoms that can be ascribed to chronic uncontrolled diabetes. Diabetes has been shown to affect long nerves and the tingling sensation is as a result of the weakness of the nerves

Blurring Vision : Diabetes affects the lens of the eyes. It causes plaques to be deposited in the lens causing blurring vision. This is one of the symptoms and pointers to the presence of diabetes condition.

There is one more sign, which could very well be considered a symptom. It is the most obvious sign, one you see every day in the mirror if it applies to you. And that is, obesity. Obesity in medical terms doesn’t necessarily mean you are grossly overweight. There is a chart available in many places on the Internet, called the BMI, or Body Mass Index. Just “Google” it. You can use the chart to determine whether you are obese or just overweight or in the healthy weight range.

Of course, not everyone who is overweight or obese has diabetes or pre-diabetes. But obesity is the base from which most of the other signs of diabetes operate. If you have a BMI of 30 or higher and you have two or more of the other signs described in this article, you are at very high risk for diabetes and other serious health problems.

Are Doctors Lying About the Cure for Diabetes?

“The People” have had enough apparently!

An “insider” revealed today that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people – and even worse: with the help of “law-makers!”

It seems that “money” (as usual) has blinded doctors and medical practitioners to the degree that they are now willingly *suppressing* the truth regarding diabetes – its control, management, and even its cure!

That’s right: “cure!”

And what should shock you even more:

It seems that it’s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you.

Yet it’s very much okay to say that something “treats” or helps “offset” the symptoms of some health condition or disease.

But if you say “cure” (and even including when you in fact have a real and bona fide cure for something and can even prove it!) you can get arrested.

Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure” industry?

It’s simply because no one’s out to “cure” anyone because there’s little money in doing so.

Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone’s really out to do for you these days – as doing so means you being “forced” to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and … (you get the point!)

Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you’re cured – and that’s that (over and done!)

But a number of doctors, philanthropists, and just plain old “good folks” armed with “real answers” and “real solutions” are stepping up and are NOT afraid of “Uncle Big-Bully Brother!”

One courageous fellow by the name of Melford Bibens, CPT, is doing exactly this, as he overcame “naturally” the dreaded disease Diabetes!

Not only that, but Melford has lectured and personally helped individuals beat the disease to the point that proven sufferers have actually gotten re-diagnoses as “no longer having the disease at all!” (Something that’s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! – and now which may even be against the law!)

But it’s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sambo” has actually started using “Gestapo” tactics whereby people and businesses truly offering “cures” have been raided with masked armed police who even go to the point of forcing customers in the stores to get down on the floor at gunpoint!

So, if you’re wise and want to find out about this while it’s still possible for you to do so, then just visit this link now:
