Diabetes

More than 26 million Americans suffer with Diabetes. An estimated 7 million cases go undiagnosed and remain that way until the symptoms become acute. You could be experiencing pre-diabetes or diabetes if you experience one or more of these warning signs:

unusual weight gain

frequent urination

increased thirst

blurred vision

frequent infections

irritability

blood sugar handling issues

fatigue

low or high blood pressure

numbness and tingling in hands and feet

Two types of diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes, known also as juvenile onset or insulin-dependant diabetes, is an autoimmune condition occurring in a small percentage of the population. The immune system attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas; therefore Type 1 diabetics have to supplement insulin for the rest of their life.

Type 2 Diabetes, also called non-insulin dependant diabetes, affects about 90 percent of diabetics in America. Type 2 is defined as chronic high blood sugar or diet-induced and is 100% curable.
