<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Discover the Ultimate Secret to controlling Diabetes.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The sad FACT that the World’s Doctors keep to themselves, is that IT IS MORE FINANCIALLY PROFITABLE TO <span style="text-decoration:underline;">TREAT</span>, THAN TO <span style="text-decoration:underline;">CURE.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Diabetes is a debilitating condition that profoundly affects the lives of a surprisingly high % of the human race throughout their life’s journey. Sadly, if the truth could be openly revealed, this suffering is largely unnecessary  </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>At LAST ….. “The People” have had enough apparently! An “insider” has revealed that the “World of Medicine” is scamming people &#8211; 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 cancer &#8211; its control, management, and even its cure! That&#8217;s right: cure ! And what should shock you even more: It seems that it&#8217;s against the law to say the word “cure” when describing anything that actually cures you. Yet it&#8217;s very much okay to say that something “treats” or  “offsets” the symptoms of some health condition or disease. Ever wonder why we have a “healthcare” industry and not a “healthcure”industry?  It&#8217;s simply because no one&#8217;s out to cure anyone because there&#8217;s little money in doing so. Instead, keeping you sick and marginally pain-free is all anyone&#8217;s really out to do for you these days &#8211; as doing so means you being forced to buy all the same drugs over and over again, and again, and &#8230; (you get the point!)  Of course, if a cure came along it would mean you buy it one time, and then you&#8217;re cured &#8211; and that&#8217;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&#8217;s helped many people overcome “naturally” the dreaded disease of 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&#8217;s pretty much always been ruled out as a possibility altogether! &#8211; and now which may even be against the law!) But it&#8217;s not certain how long Melford will be allowed to do this because “Uncle Sam” 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&#8217;re wise and have related issues  -  ie, causes,Glucose information, Diabetes Type 2, Blood Sugar count,  etc……..     </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Then you would be wise to discover this breakthrough information for yourself.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Causes of Diabetes</p>
<p>There are many reasons why people develop diabetes They can be infection of the pancreas, weight, stress, in activeness, age, family history, race, high blood pressure, poor nutrition, and gender.  Some people can have a lower blood sugar level, and this prevents them from being diagnosed with diabetes..  In this case if it is not caught it may turn into type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>Some people find that an infection in the pancreas can cause diabetes.  When this happens the pancreas will not produce enough insulin and sugar can build up in the blood stream.  When this happens the sugar does not move over to the cells.</p>
<p>Professionals in the health industry say that if your waist is bigger than 35 inches, you are at risk of getting diabetes.  People who are not active have a high risk of developing diabetes, more so then somebody that exercises two to three times per week.  Going to the gym is not needed but just a good brisk walk for thirty minutes can help.</p>
<p>Risk of developing diabetes grows as you get older.  Studies have just been done that have proved that eighty percent of people who get diabetes are forty five or older.</p>
<p>Another factor for diabetes is your family history has a lot to do with if you are going to get it or not. If your parents have diabetes or any close relative you are at risk.  It is unfortunate, but you share the same genes. However it may be reversed if you take some preventive measures.</p>
<p>There are so many things that are related to getting diabetes.  So many people getting diagnosed in the world with diabetes it could be prevented in some cases; People need to take action to stop it!.  There are also many measures that could be taken in trying to prevent diabetes.  You should use the Internet to try and find out more about diabetes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Diabetes is a disorder that affects the way your body uses food for energy. Normally, the sugar you take in is digested and broken down to a simple sugar, known as glucose. <!--more-->The glucose then circulates in your blood where it waits to enter cells to be used as fuel. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, helps move the glucose into cells. A healthy pancreas adjusts the amount of insulin based on the level of glucose. But, if you have diabetes, this process breaks down, and blood sugar levels become too high.</p>
<p><strong>Main Causes of Diabetes</strong></p>
<p>We know that diabetes develops as a result of your body&#8217;s cells not getting enough insulin (a hormone which helps convert blood sugar/glucose into energy). This is usually because your pancreas fails to generate enough insulin or because your body&#8217;s cells start to resist insulin. Although we know what leads to the development of diabetes we do not currently know why this happens in certain individuals and not others.</p>
<p>This means no matter how much or how little insulin is made, the body can&#8217;t use it as well as it should. As a result, glucose can&#8217;t be moved from the blood into cells. Over time, the excess sugar in the blood gradually poisons the pancreas causing it to make less insulin, and making it even more difficult to keep blood glucose under control. Obesity is a leading cause of insulin resistance; 90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight.</p>
<p>here are some common diabetes causes that include genetic causes as well as environmental causes. The risk of diabetes is higher if there is a family history of diabetes. Environmental factors that can lead to the onset of diabetes include poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, and stress. Diabetes is a disease that can be prevented &#8211; or controlled once a diagnosis has been made.</p>
<p>Type 2 diabetes usually occurs gradually. Most people with the disease are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, type 2 diabetes can also develop in those who are thin, especially the elderly.</p>
<p><strong>Diabetic Symptoms</strong></p>
<p>Type 1 diabetes is usually recognized in childhood or early adolescence, often in association with an illness (such as a virus or urinary tract infection) or injury.</p>
<p>The extra stress can cause diabetic ketoacidosis.</p>
<p>Cuts or sores that take a long time to heal.</p>
<p>Slow-healing wounds.</p>
<p>Frequent urination (especially at night)</p>
<p><strong>Diabetes Treatment</strong></p>
<p><strong>Intranasal, Transdermal</strong></p>
<p>Other routes for the delivery of insulin have also been tried. Intranasal insulin delivery was thought to be promising. However, this method was associated with poor absorption and nasal irritation. Transdermal insulin (skin patch delivery) has also yielded disappointing results to date. Insulin in pill form is also not yet effective since the digestive enzymes in the gut break it down.</p>
<p>Many, but not all, of the symptoms of diabetes can be controlled by the administration of insulin. The forms of insulin available early in the 20th cent. had to be injected frequently because they were quick-acting. Later modifications gave the insulin solution a more prolonged action so that hypodermic injections could be made less frequently. Some now control their insulin levels via a small, portable insulin pump. In certain cases of mild diabetes, oral medications that stimulate production of insulin can be taken in lieu of insulin</p>
<p>&#8220;Diabetes knowledge, treatment, and prevention strategies advance daily. Treatment is aimed at keeping blood glucose near normal levels at all times. Training in self-management is integral to the treatment of diabetes. Treatment must be individualized and must address medical, psychosocial, and lifestyle issues.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As we all know, Diabetes is one of the most common disease prevalent over the world these days. The condition in which the</p>
<p>body accumulates excess of sugar is termed as diabetes.</p>
<p>There can be two reasons for this, either a problem with secretion and functioning of the Anti Diuretic hormone or the</p>
<p>problem with secretion of insulin. The former is called, Diabetes insepidus, Diabetes Mellitus being the latter one. The</p>
<p>latter is rather more prevalent and is the matter of concern for almost every second house in the society these days.</p>
<p>There is no miracle drug to totally cure diabetes at once, but what we can do is just keep it under control by imposing a</p>
<p>regular check on it by using medicines etc. For this we need monitoring the progress of the disease from time to time. In the</p>
<p>busy schedule of the 21st century it is virtually impossible to go to the doctor every time there is a need for testing the</p>
<p>blood sugar level. The solutions to these are Glucose monitoring kits.</p>
<p>November is celebrated as the National diabetes awareness month, and what is better than buying a new technologically</p>
<p>improved glucose monitoring kit this month, with lots of companies selling them at discounted price.</p>
<p>The most common and used item all over the world is the Accu chek. There are various variants like, Accu chek AVIVA, Accu</p>
<p>chek Compact Plus, Free style flash, free style lite, Ascensia Breeze 2, Ascentia contour. Free style freedom meter kit is</p>
<p>considered to be using the least amount of blood (3 &#8211; 10ml).</p>
<p>Moreover the kit includes, 10 test strips, lancing device from Free Style, 10 Lancets, Free style control solution, etc. Accu</p>
<p>check Advantage Diabetes monitoring kit contains the blood glucose meter, Adjustable Accu-Chek Softclix Lancet Device (10</p>
<p>lancets), etc. Accu check active diabetes monitoring kits also has a similar composition.</p>
<p>The new Accu chek Compact plus diabetes monitoring kit requires no strip handling and auto calibration is done. There are</p>
<p>various combo offers available too, when brought in combination a discount can be availed.</p>
<p>One Touch Ultra 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System:</p>
<p>It requires just a drop of blood and requires only about 5 seconds to get the result. The back light and the scroll button</p>
<p>makes it easier to handle. It can store last 500 records with time and date of checking. Hence, the patient can have a look</p>
<p>at the rate of improvement. It has got a simple and unique design and comes in various combo offers. The one touch ultra 2</p>
<p>strips are available separately.</p>
<p>One Touch Ultra Mini Blood Glucose Monitoring System is simple and sleek in design. Only one touch Ultra test strips can be</p>
<p>used with it and the result comes within 5 seconds. The whole kit comes with an educational booklet along with category of</p>
<p>food which, if taken keeps the blood sugar level low.</p>
<p>Home Diagnostics Sidekick Blood Glucose Testing System, is another one in the similar category. It requires 1 UL of blood</p>
<p>sample and less than 10 seconds to give the answer. The blood is generally taken from the forefinger.</p>
<p>However, while using these Diabetes testing kits, you must keep in mind certain simple things:</p>
<p>* Proper instruction should be followed while taking the test at home.</p>
<p>* Each strip should be used only once and after that it should be discarded at a safe place.</p>
<p>* When abnormally low or high results come, then you must repeat the test to confirm.</p>
<p>* Proper medication should be taken only after consultation with the doctor.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The basic goal of a diabetic is to live as normal as possible by staying out of complications, and so proper diet must be</p>
<p>followed. There are nutrition guidelines for the Diabetics Food Pyramid and patients must aim to keep blood sugar levels</p>
<p>stable while ensuring that the body still receives the proper nutrients to keep going.</p>
<p>A Diabetic&#8217;s balanced meal plan must comprise of the following ratio, as recommended by the American Diabetes and Dietetic</p>
<p>Association: Protein providing 10% to 20%, Fat providing no more than 30%, and Carbohydrates supplying up to 60% total</p>
<p>calories. The large part of a diabetic&#8217;s plate must consist of starch such as bread, cereal, rice, and starchy vegetables.</p>
<p>Six or more servings a day is required to make sure the diabetic receives the right amount from this food group. Fruits and</p>
<p>vegetables, as always, are the stomach&#8217;s best friends. For diabetics, overeating of fruits is still not advisable as some</p>
<p>fruits contain too much glucose so a small piece or two of fruits like orange, apple, pineapple, strawberry, banana, and</p>
<p>pears for the whole day is fine. Most vegetables and some seeds are good for people with diabetes. They help to slow down or</p>
<p>reduce the absorption of glucose from the intestines. Soluble fibers found in legumes also have positive effect on blood</p>
<p>sugar levels. For milk and other dairy products, non-fat or low-fat selections must be preferred as they can provide the</p>
<p>needed vitamins and minerals without putting the patient to the risk of heart attacks.</p>
<p>It is a common knowledge for diabetics that sugary foods as well as fatty foods can harm their health but complete or total</p>
<p>denial of these foods is actually too much. Dietitians agree that they can satisfy their sweet tooth every once in a while</p>
<p>like a piece of chocolate or small cookies on top of nutritious foods consumed for the whole week so it best to save the ice</p>
<p>creams and cakes during occasions. Diabetics are also asked to limit their fat intake because they are at higher risk for</p>
<p>heart problems. They need to watch cholesterol by choosing smaller portions of lean meats, poultry, and fish. They are also</p>
<p>advised not to engage in high-protein diets such as Atkins. When it comes to alcohol, small amounts can be included into a</p>
<p>meal plan if the blood sugar is under good control but drinking alcohol in an empty stomach can cause low blood sugar.</p>
<p>Ideally, patients should visit a professional dietitian to have an individualized diet plan within the general guidelines</p>
<p>that takes into consideration their own health needs. There is no single best diet recommended for all diabetics. Even if all</p>
<p>diabetics are under Type 2, some may be in danger of kidney disease while others are suffering from high blood pressures.</p>
<p>Additionally, some researchers concluded that the positive benefits of certain diabetic diets were derived not from the</p>
<p>specific regimens but because the patient who participated in the study were attentive and focused. This could only mean that</p>
<p>any proper and healthy diet could work for a patient who is diligently working at it.</p>

Unctuous food produces more energy. Blood sugar increases due to the following factors.<br />
1)     If we are talking calories in more quantity.<br />
2)     If we secretion of insulin is less.<br />
3) If the function of the pancreas gets disturbed. In many cases, diabetics may pass sugar in their urine. This increases sugar level in the blood gives rise to many complications and in such cases diabetes can attack the body easily.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For those of you who don&#8217;t know exactly what diabetes is or how it begins, Diabetes is a disease in which the level of sugar in the blood is abnormally high. The reason for the high blood glucose (sugar) levels is that the body is not able to properly control the amount of sugar in the blood. Persons diagnosed with diabetes cannot produce or effectively use insulin to regulate their glucose levels.</p>
<p>Diabetes begins in the pancreas, but can lead to kidney failure, nerve damage in the feet, eyes, and heart, and cause great disabilities. But proper  treatment can lead to a healthier lifestyle and an higher quality of life. If you or a loved one is affected by diabetes, please feel free to contribute to this blog. Share your thoughts, ideas, feelings, and especially experiences. Together, we can conquer diabetes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Diabetes mellitus</em> (commonly referred to as just &#8220;diabetes&#8221;) is a disorder in which the body either does <b>not produce</b> or does <b>not properly utilize</b> insulin. <em>Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, that helps move glucose into the cells, and that is needed to convert sugar, starches, carbohydrates and other food into energy needed for daily life.</em></p>
<p>Normally, the sugar you take in is digested and broken down to a simple sugar, known as glucose. The glucose then circulates in your blood where it waits to enter cells to be used as fuel.</p>
<p>Because diabetics have a disfunctionality in which the <strong>pancreas</strong> does not produce insulin, or does not adjust the amount of insulin based on the level of glucose, their bodies can&#8217;t use glucose (blood sugar) for energy, which results in elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) and the eventual urination of sugar out of their bodies.There are three main types of diabetes:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Type 1</b> (&#8220;insulin-dependent&#8221; and previously called &#8220;juvenile diabetes&#8221;). Type 1 diabetes is associated with a malfunctioning pancreas which does not produce adequate amounts of insulin. It develops most often in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetes is traditionally treated with insulin.</li>
<li><b>Type 2</b> (&#8220;noninsulin-dependent&#8221; or sometomes called &#8220;adult-onset diabetes&#8221;). Type 2 diabetes is associated with insulin resistant cells. It is much more common and usually develops in older adults. Type 2 diabetes is now being found at younger ages and is even being diagnosed among children and teens.</li>
<li><b>Gestational</b> (pregnancy-related). Some women develop diabetes during pregnancy usually toward the end of pregnancy. It effects approximately 3 to 5 percent of all pregnant women. Although it goes away after pregnancy, these women have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life.</li>
