  1. Although I take Metformin at the moment I have just read an interesting article about the endocannabinoid system we have and how by using CBD oil it can regulate all body functions including blood sugar levels and I am excited to try this because I hate prescription drugs and the side effects.

    Good exercise and maybe some cbd and I will feel a whole lot healthier and I will come back once I have tried this.

    Has anyone else tried CBD that you know of as it is highly recommended for a lot of health issue including of course diabetes?

    • Hi Vicki,

      I know all too well about medications such as Metformin and Farxiga and like you I detest taking them. The whole idea here is to find natural ways to lower blood sugar and when you are diagnosed with diabetes, you must take those first crucial steps in addressing it.

      Exercise and healthy eating are always the most important parts of controlling diabetes.

      But CBD oil can be a major help in the war against diabetes in addition to eating healthy and exercising of course.

      Diabetes doesn’t have to be a death sentence if you just learn to get it under control.

      I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

  2. Hi; Wow! Your post is very informative and helpful. Diabetes is raging among the many common silent killers out there these days. I notice that people of all age group are now coming down with the disease.

    Do you believe that Diabetes is a curable disease?

    I am convinced that regular exercise and shedding of excess weight can play a significant role in preventing Diabetes and lowering blood sugar levels.

      Thank you! It’s so important for anyone who is just diagnosed with diabetes to know as much as possible.

      It is way too common nowadays and must be addressed at once.

      I don’t believe that diabetes is curable but I do feel that control is the answer to living a normal healthy life.

      And of all the things you should do, exercise and eating healthy are the top two!

      Losing weight is the most important thing to do!

      Thank you for sharing πŸ™‚

  3. Hi

    I am grateful for your article on diabetes.  Your advice will help people struggling with a debilitating disease.  Dr. Caldwall Ecesteing and Dr. Colin Campbel are strong advocates of using diet to cure chronic diseases like diabetes.  I have heard stories of type II diabetes being reversed by a change to a plant-based diet.  Dr. Colin Campbell’s book ‘the China Study’ has solid research on the effects of diet on health.

    Keep up the good work

    All the best

    • Hi Aaron,

      Thank you so much! There are many things you can do as I mentioned when you are first diagnosed with diabetes.

      I agree with the doctors about diet controlling and preventing the disease. It’s always about diet and exercise.

      So many doctors and people in the health field agree that a plant based diet is the way to go.

      The China Study looks like an excellent book. I should pick one up for myself!

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback!

  4. Interesting article!  First off, I would like to say that I love your webpage design.  This isn’t a subject I’m normally interested in but the images kept me engaged.

    This is really good advice for those who struggle with diabetes.  A lot of time for things of this nature is just to do a lifestyle change which incorporates good health, exercising and eating right.  It’s not an easy thing to do either.  If someone wants to make a change in their life, it starts with them and they have to want it

      First off, thank you for saying! It’s important to know what to do when you’re first diagnosed with diabetes.

      You could have been eating right and exercising and be diagnosed and be in shock but it happens.

      Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes is not a death sentence if you know what to do and keep it under control.

      It is all about lifestyle change for most folks and it is a total necessity to remain healthy.

      Thank you for sharing!

  5. I have a friend whose child was diagnosed with diabetes last year and it’s been eye opening to follow all of the steps they must take to ensure the best health for their child. It’s been an emotional journey as they continually look at the newest technologies to monitor blood sugar and insulin levels. Educating the school administrators and people around them about how to manage the disease is critical to keeping their little one healthy and happy. Thanks so much for this informative post.

    • Hi Aly, 

      It’s hard enough being diagnosed with diabetes as an adult. But with children it’s even more devastating.

      But it doesn’t have to be. Adulthood or childhood, we can control our diabetes and live a normal life for the most part.

      And yes technology is changing every day in this world so there’s always a possibility of additional hope!

      You brought up an excellent point too with the educators in the schools who should be teaching kids about such things such as diabetes instead of other subjects that aren’t as important.

      I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you πŸ™‚

  6. Diabetes is a very dangerous disease and if not properly managed can result to serious heart problems and maybe stroke. I have seen a lot of diabetic patients that ended up having a stroke at the long run. I do hear some myths that says too much thinking can also to result stroke, how true is that?
    Many patients are advised to be taking wheat flour instead of yam flour. They are banned to take many foods that have high carbohydrates because of too much glucose in their body. Some people ended up losing their life with this illness because of poor management while others are doing very fine as if nothing happened to them because of their proper management like proper food and proper exercise and proper treatment. Is it possible for those people that develop heart problems because of diabetes to also undergo exercise for body maintenance?

    • Hey Stella πŸ™‚

      Diabetes is indeed a dangerous disease which is why you must learn to control it after you’re diagnosed.

      It leads to much more than heart disease and stroke unfortunately. The most important thing to do is talk with your doctor and come up with a plan to control your diabetes.

      Too much thinking can cause a stroke? I don’t know about that. I’m not an expert as far as that goes.

      High carbs and sugars are the enemy here and should be avoided in high amounts.

      But being able to curb these things is crucial with diabetes. The natural ways to lower blood sugar are the best ways!

      Appreciate you stopping by! πŸ™‚
