The effects of diabetes on the body
Not only can diabetes create complications that could lead to death but it
can do serious damage to the functioning of the body.s major organs and systems
if left unchecked. The following is a list of the systems that diabetes may
attack. Treatment under a Diabetes alternative medicine program or conventional
medicine program will significantly decrease the likelihood of these conditions
occurring.
"The circulatory system. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes leads to coronary heart disease, stroke and circulation problems in the hands and feet. These conditions are two to four times more common in people with diabetes, and they account for most of their hospitalizations. Heart attacks, hardening of the arteries, strokes, poor circulation in the feet, and amputations are concrete and common examples of diabetes damage."
"The kidneys. Diabetes is the leading cause of end- stage kidney disease."
"The eyes. Diabetic eye disease, or diabetic retinopathy, is the major cause of new vision loss in Americans 20 to 74 years old, according to the National Eye Institute."
"The nervous system. Nerve cells may be disturbed or damaged, causing severe pain or loss of feeling, a condition known as neuropathy."
" People with Type 2 diabetes are at higher risk of vision and kidney problems, heart disease and nerve damage. More than 90 percent of the time, lifestyle changes such as losing weight, cutting back on fat and getting daily exercise can help keep your blood sugar levels in line."
"If you have diabetes, follow your doctor's advice." Diabetes alternative medicine "used in conjunction with medical care and your doctor's approval-may help stabilize blood sugar levels and, many cases, reduce the need for taking medications or insulin injections. (Do not stop alter injections without first consulting getting approval from professional.)" holisticonline.com/Remedies/Diabetes/diabetes_introduction.htm)
The danger of type 1 and 2 diabetes
"Many people have the false belief that Type 2 diabetes is not very serious. But it is not so. In 1986, 144,000 people died as a result of type 2 diabetes in the US, and 951,000 were totally disabled. In 1986, the economic cost of type 2 diabetes in the United States was estimated at $19.8 billion. Of that, $4.8 billion was spent on treating related conditions and complications, primarily cardiovascular conditions that manifested themselves in heart attacks, hardening of the arteries and strokes. Circulatory problems, such as poor circulation in the feet, leading to amputation, are also common in type 2 diabetes."
"Diabetes is a very serious disease and should be treated as such. In nearly all situations, people with diabetes require, at a minimum, routine medical treatment- including daily self-care. Through scrupulous attention to a healthy lifestyle and a strong commitment to maintaining target blood-sugar levels, diabetic people can significantly slow down the degenerative process."
"People with type 1 diabetes are vulnerable to dangerous short-term complications of the disease. Two of these complications have to do with disruptive swings in blood-sugar levels, such as hyperglycemia (too much blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar). People with type 1 diabetes also are at particular risk of ketoacidosis-a dangerous buildup of toxic acids in the body." (holisticonline.com/Remedies/Diabetes/diabetes_introduction.htm)
