More than one out of every three individuals in the U.S. have diabetes
and another 26%
are
insulin resistant. Based on an analysis of four years of data
from the National Health
and
Nutritional Examination Survey, these numbers are dangerously
high for a country
as
prosperous as ours. The study included information on 4,761
adults who were
classified
by their glycemic status. The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes
has increased
in
recent years with undiagnosed diabetes and impaired fasting
glucose remaining
constant
over the past decade. Please read this last sentence twice. It
will tell you that
the
treatment for diabetes has been unsuccessful. Is it purposefully
unsuccessful or just
unsuccessful
through the ignorance of the National Diabetes Association.
Probably a little
of
both. Take a look at the shelves at Walgreen’s and you will see
multiple aids to help
you
manage your diabetes. The key word here being “manage” because
you are told
you
will always have this disease and the best you can do is monitor
and “manage” it. Of
course,
the truth of the matter is a bit different. Not only can you
successfully manage
blood
sugar disorders, you can positively reverse diabetes and blood
sugar problems by
correcting
your diet, decreasing your stress and increasing daily exercise.
At the Natural Medicine Clinic, we can educate you towards understanding
the pro’s and
con’s
of each individual food group based on your level of activity.
Please take your first
step
toward improving your health by letting our clinic test your
blood sugar levels for
early
detection. After all, you have to help yourself.
