7 Early Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes by adesteve0606(m): 6:53pm On May 08, 2016
The early signs of diabetes are not always obvious.
They may develop slowly over time, making them hard
to identify. Many are asymptomatic. Because they can
worsen over a period of years, type 2 diabetes may
remain undiagnosed longer than other, more obvious
conditions.

Here are 7 early signs to watch out for:

1. Frequent Urination
Also known as polyuria, frequent and/or excessive urination
is a sign that your blood sugar is high enough to start to spill
into the urine. Because your kidneys can’t keep up with the
high glucose levels, they allow some of that sugar to go into
your urine, where it draws additional water, making you have
to urinate often.

2. Extreme Thirst
Extreme thirst is one of the first noticeable symptoms of
diabetes for some. It’s tied to high blood sugar levels, which
cause thirst, and is exacerbated by frequent urination. Often,
drinking won’t satisfy the thirst.

3. Increased Hunger
Intense hunger, or polyphagia, is also an early warning sign
of diabetes. Your body uses the sugar in your blood to feed
your cells. When the cells can’t absorb the sugar (because of
a lack of insulin), your body looks for more sources of fuel,
causing persistent hunger.

4. Nerve Pain or Numbness
You might experience tingling or numbness in your hands,
fingers, feet, and toes. This is a sign of diabetic neuropathy,
or nerve damage. You are most likely to experience this after
several years of living with diabetes.

5 Signs of Aging That Could Be Diabetes in Disguise

5. Slow Healing Wounds
There are several reasons why a wound will heal more slowly
if you have diabetes. Poor circulation, the effects of high blood
sugar on blood vessels, and immunodeficiency are just a few.
If you experience frequent infections or wounds that are slow to
heal, it could be an early symptom.

6. Blurred Vision
Blurred vision occurs early in unmanaged diabetes. It can be a
sign of high blood sugar levels, which cause fluid to shift into the
lens of the eye. This usually resolves when blood sugar levels
normalize.

7. Dark Skin Patches
Dark discoloration in the folds of your skin is called acanthosis,
nigricans and is another early warning sign of type 2 diabetes.
They are most common in the armpits, neck, and groin regions,
according to the Mayo Clinic.

The Takeaway
If you have any suspicion that you may be experiencing the early
signs of type 2 diabetes, talk to your doctor . As with most serious
diseases, successful treatment and reduced risk of complications
depend on swift diagnosis. Left untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead
to lifelong impairment or death.

Diabetes is curable.

Natural and herbal supplements can help to restore
the body to a place of balance. But, it’s probably going
to take more than one thing, or even two. In fact,
it might take between 5-10 supplements to restore your health.
If there is a “serious” health issue on the table,
it will take much more time and effort than that.

Here are ten reasons to consider supplementing your
diet with high-quality nutrients:

1. Current commercial agriculture techniques leave soil
deficient in important minerals, causing the food grown
in this soil to share the same mineral deficiencies.

2. Many foods are shipped long distances and are stored
for long periods of time, both of which cause the depletion
of vitamins in these foods, including the important
B-complex and C vitamins.

3. Food processing, cooking, and preserving leads to nutrient
depletion in our food supply that makes it difficult to
obtain adequate nutrition from foods alone.

4. Many fruits and vegetables are genetically bred to improve
visual appeal and crop yields, not nutritional value,
which frequently results in lesser nutritional values
than our ancestors’ food supply.

5. Erratic eating habits, insufficient chewing of food,
eating on the run, and stress contribute to poor digestion,
making it difficult for our bodies to extract all
the nutrients it needs from food.

6. Pharmaceutical drug use has escalated over time.
Most medications deplete essential nutrients,
making people more vulnerable to deficiencies.

7. Specific times in life and health conditions may result
in higher needs of certain nutrients. For example, folic acid needs
tend to be higher during pregnancy, while menopausal women
may be vulnerable to calcium deficiencies.

8. Increasing levels of environmental pollution in our air,
water and food may cause our bodies to use more nutrients
than normal to detoxify and eliminate harmful substances.
This is especially true of the antioxidant vitamins,
some of which include: the “ACE Vitamins:”
Vitamins A, C, and E.

9. We all have genetic weaknesses, including higher
needs of some nutrients, higher rates of depletion for certain nutrients,
and an increased likelihood of genetic expression of some
illnesses if vitamin or mineral deficiencies are present.

10. Many nutrients have been proven to prevent or aid in the treatment
of health conditions like high cholesterol, arthritis, birth defects, and cancer.
Check out my articles on the vitamins and minerals that help prevent cancer.

It is important that you always consult a qualified health professional
first to avoid any drug-nutrient interactions.
And avoid supplements with sweeteners, colors,
artificial flavors, preservatives, or fillers.

Nothing will take the place of eating a good and healthy diet.
But taking quality, whole food-based natural supplements
can go along way towards helping you maintain a better level of health.

bad habits (skipping meals and not eating organic foods),

Do you know that diabetes is fast
becoming an epidemic in Nigeria?

From our findings, there are some states
in Nigeria where diabetes is now like
malaria.

According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), from
1980 through 2010, the number of
adults in the world aged 18 and
older with diagnosed diabetes
more than tripled.

Moreover, the diabetes epidemic
shows no signs of slowing down,
affecting over 20 million people in
Nigeria. Another 35million adults
have prediabetes, putting them at
greater risk of developing type 2
diabetes down the road, according
to the CDC.

Diabetes is a costly disease, placing
a high financial burden on the
patient and the healthcare system.
If poorly managed or left untreated,
it can cause blindness, loss of kidney
function, and conditions that require
the amputation of digits or limbs.
The CDC reports that it’s also a major
cause of heart disease and stroke
and the seventh leading cause of death
in the World.

The bottom line is that diabetes can be
bad news—but this doesn’t have to be
the case. Interventions can prevent or
delay the disease in people with
prediabetes.

But what about people who’ve already
been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?
Can their diabetes be reversed? Is it
possible to cure diabetes with natural
therapies?
The answer to this question is yes.
This is what our all Natural Diabetes
Care, GLUCOFIT has been achieving.

Using GLUCOFIT,People's high blood sugar
have been proven to comedown with as much as
50% within 2 weeks.

GLUCOFIT has restored life to many people

Good morning.
I'm sure you had a refreshing
night rest.
The information below was published
by WHO a few months ago. I am sure
it will be of help to you.
So many death caused by Diabetes is
due to ignorance or lack of knowledge
on it. These spurred the need to highlight
to you the following facts sourced from
WHO (World Health Organization)
documentation;
1.There is an emerging epidemic of diabetes
that can be traced back to rapid increases
in overweight, obesity and physical inactivity.
Total deaths from diabetes are projected to
rise by more than 50% in the next 10 years.
Most notably, they are projected to increase
by over 80% in upper- middle income countries.
2.T1D [ Type1 Diabetes] is characterized by a
lack of insulin production.
3. T2D[ Type2 Diabetes] results from the body's ineffective use
of insulin.T2D is much more common than T1D,
and accounts for around 90% of all Diabetes
worldwide.
4. Reports of T2D in children- previously rare-
have increased worldwide. In some countries,
it accounts for almost half of newly diagnosed
cases in children and adolescents.
5. A third type of diabetes is gestational diabetes.
This type is characterized by hyperglycemia, or
rapid blood sugar, which is first recognized during
pregnancy.
6. 80% of diabetes deaths are now occurring in
low- and middle- income countries.
The full impact is much larger, because although
people may live for years with diabetes, their cause
of death is often recorded as heart diseases or
kidney failure.
7. Lack of awareness about diabetes, combined
with insufficient access to health services, can
lead to complications such as blindness,
amputation and kidney failure.
8. Diabetes can be prevented. Thirty minutes of
moderate intensity physical activity on most
days, a healthy diet and nutritional
supplementation can drastically reduce
the risk of developing T2D.
This is where GLUCOFIT comes in.
Have a blessed day.
