Diabetes, most especially type 2, is becoming very rampant these days. Young folks are really coming down with this disease and the reasons are not far fetched. Please, up your physical activity today, hit the gym or perform light exercises in your compound at home. Minimize your intake of sugary drinks as well as foods heavily laden with carbs. For our ladies out there, abeg moderate your consumption of "sharwama", burger, pizza, fried chicken, chips, suya. For your mind you think say na d guy u dey do but u know no say na urself go still feel am later.
STAY ALIVE.
WHEN YOU ARE HEALTHY, YOU ARE WEALTHY

Prevention is always better than cure
We have 20 Million Nigerians who are Diabetic! Based on the African diet, diabetes is predicted to become an epidemic in a few more years. The cost of management is high, the drugs are not curative.

Loetue still remains the Best preventive invention for Diabetics. Every home needs it. Every individual needs it, especially Conscious youths who take all sorts.

One of the early signs of diabetes is excess urination. I am not asking you but I am telling this because I was once a victim. It all started with every one and half hour urination and before I could actually know what was going on I was slimming down at the fastest race. I don't want to lie to anyone but I must confess that all through these periods I did not go for test. I just believe that I am faced with diabetes. You might be wondering why he did not go for test; yes I did not go for test because I believe drugs do repairs and destroy the other side of the body. That was just my belief. Though I use to try some self medications which had some adverse reactions on me and I had to stop them because it does more harm than good.
To cut the whole the story short, today I am totally fine. People that kept mute when I was sick are already complimenting me. I am so happy now.
I know you are wondering how it happened. Na God my dear Nigerians. Just with as little as #5000 I stormed into a herb and a seed that turned things around for me. Today I don't urinate more than six times in a every 24hrs. Doctors has proven that there is no cure for this ailment but God has proven them wrong. I am a testimony to it.
I am writing this article to those facing this same issue to reach me. God did it for me and I believe same will apply to your own case. You can call me 08134556352.
God bless Nigeria.
