Why Are We Doing Diabetes Workshops?

A 55 year old woman walked into our waiting room looking as if she had been diagnosed with a death sentence. When I sat down and talked to her, she proceeded to tell me what she had been told by her physician. First, she was going to have diabetes for the rest of her life. He then told her that she had an increased chance of going blind and the possibility of amputations. This information was given so “matter of fact” without the consideration of the impact on the patient.

Two days later, another diabetic came to us with a similar story, only he was told that medications were the only way to control his diabetes. Besides feeling extremely tired and sick most of the time, he simply had no zest for life. He felt that even if his diabetes could be managed, he was not going to feel good again.

After listening to their concerns, we shared the hope that there are other options and even the ability to reverse diabetes and live a healthy life. By the time they walked out of our office they both felt a lot better and had hope again. That’s why we are on a mission to do as many workshops as possible for diabetics and their loved ones. No one needs to suffer needlessly.

A Natural Approach to Managing Diabetes

It is currently estimated that between 40 and 50 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition also referred to as Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X.

Metabolic Syndrome is Actually a Group of Conditions Including:

1 Insulin Resistance (the body’s inability to correctly utilize insulin which causes variations in blood sugar levels)

2 High Levels of Blood Fats (high LDL “bad cholesterol”, high triglycerides and low HDL “good cholesterol”)

3 High Blood Pressure

4 Obesity (especially truncal/abdominal obesity)

The concern with metabolic syndrome is not only that it predisposes people to diabetes, but it is also a major risk factor for heart disease. There are certain lab tests that can be run to help determine the presence of metabolic syndrome and aid in reducing the risk of developing Diabetes altogether.

The Common Symptoms of Diabetes Include:

1 Excessive thirst
2 Excessive hunger
3 Frequent urination
4 Unexplained weight changes
5 Poor wound healing

All types of Diabetes are cause for concern. Diabetes, especially in its late stages, often results in irreparable damage to the blood vessels, nerves, eyes (retina), kidneys and developing fetuses. This is why it is so important to keep Diabetes, that is, the blood sugar, under control.

Common Treatment:

Conventional treatment for Diabetes (especially Type 2 Diabetes) typically includes prescription medications to improve insulin sensitivity. In some cases of Type 2 Diabetes, certain medications may be necessary for a short period of time to help get blood sugar levels under control. However, these diabetic medications should be avoided where possible to reduce the risks to long-term health and avoid the potential harmful side effects, like increasing the risk of coronary heart disease and kidney and liver problems.

The Good News…

Diabetes can often be entirely managed by lifestyle changes and without the need for any kind of Diabetic medications. Additionally, patients with Metabolic Syndrome (those prone to develop Type 2 Diabetes) would more likely never develop Type 2 Diabetes simply by making changes to their diets, activity levels and stress management.

Diabetic Workshops

Education is the key to controlling and often completely avoiding Diabetes. Diabetes prevention ideally starts early in life, especially for those people genetically predisposed. For those people taking prescription medications for their Diabetes, it is often possible to reduce and even eliminate the need for these medications through proper nutrition, exercise and other natural alternatives.
