			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Natural cure for diabetes</strong> can come in handy if we only know how. Diabetes is an ailment affecting millions of people and knowing the <a title="natural remedy" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/go/naturalremedy.htm">natural cures for diabetes</a> is the best weapon in fighting the disease.</p>
<p>When one is diagnosed with diabetes, what immediately comes to our mind are the high sugar levels and the inability to heal wounds. Hence, there is an urgency for natural cures for diabetes in order to preclude these symptoms from taking place.</p>
<p>Diabetes is a disease wherein the body could not produce enough insulin in order to convert the sugar and other food as energy supplement of the body. Hence, the sugar remains in the form of glucose or blood sugar maintained at a high level, until they are urinated out of the system instead of having been utilized as energy supplement.</p>
<p><span id="more-13"></span>There is a need to find natural cure for diabetes at the earliest stage possible, otherwise, the diabetics under the type 1 and type 2 classification will often experience the following symptoms:</p>
<p><strong>Type 1:</strong> Intense thirst, excessive urination, low energy, weight loss or vomiting and nausea;</p>
<p><strong>Type 2:</strong> Fatigue, too much thirst, superfluous appetite, blurred vision or frequent urination;</p>
<p>Pancreas is a digestive gland that produces the insulin hormone glucagon and plays a very important role in ensuring that the glucose can be used by the body. Hence, diabetes is categorized into type 1 and type 2 with a third category known as gestational, all of which are affected by insulin imbalance:</p>
<p><strong>1. Type 1</strong> &#8211; A diabetic condition where one becomes insulin-dependent since the pancreas is not functioning properly to produce sufficient amount of insulin. This tends to affect many young adults and children. Cause is still unknown but often linked to genetic factors, viruses and immunity problems.</p>
<p><strong>2. Type 2 </strong>- A diabetic condition where a sufferer is not insulin-dependent and the common causes are lack of exercise and poor diet. As a result, the cells in our body do not respond to the insulin being produced by the pancreas or the cells become insulin resistant. Many matured adults are often affected, although recently many children and teens were recently diagnosed with this type of diabetes.</p>
<p><strong>3. Gestational</strong> &#8211; A diabetic condition that is pregnancy related and develops at the end of pregnancy. It normally disappears after pregnancy, but records show that women who experienced gestational diabetes are prone to develop the type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>Pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes may have no symptoms during pregnancy  but symptoms may include fatigue, blurred vision, frequent infections, extreme thirst, weight loss, frequent urination, vomiting and nausea. However, this type of diabetes may not be life threatening.</p>
<p>Hence, being health conscious and knowing the <a title="natural remedy" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/go/naturalremedy.htm">natural cure for diabetes</a> can minimize our chances of acquiring the disease. Keep in mind that natural is still the best and these are the following:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Maintaining a diet low in carbohydrates, reasonable amount of protein and high in fiber or those that have low glycemic index typical in a diabetic diet. <a title="diabetes diet" href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/diets-for-diabetes-counting-the-carbs-and-the-calories/">This diet</a> will lower the blood sugar, insulin level, medications, weight, regulate blood pressure and maintain good health as a whole.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Keeping a regular exercise. This will aid develop insulin sensitivity, immune system and blood circulation aside from the reduction of blood sugar, <a href="http://www.minusbloodpressure.com">blood pressure</a>, bad cholesterol and risk of heart disease.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Taking natural nutritional supplements with medical benefits for diabetics, e.g. Cinnamon, Banaba Leaf, Gymnema Sylvestre, Momordica and Fenugreek, to name a few.</p>
<p>Knowing the natural cure for diabetes will only lead to a life with better health in the years ahead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When diabetes is diagnosed, the next best thing to do is have an in-depth knowledge of controlling diabetes. Rather than be upset about it, it would be better to take interest in the ways of <a href="http://www.minusdiabetes.com/go/naturalremedy.htm">controlling diabetes</a> in order to manage the disease.</p>
<p>When one is diagnosed with diabetes, the blood sugar in the body is already high. The insulin being produced by the pancreas is no longer proportionate in order to normalize the blood sugar level in the body.</p>
<p>Here are 4 important points to remember if you are afflicted with diabetes:</p>
<p><strong>I. Learn your type of diabetes- It may be type 1, type 2 or Gestational</strong></p>
<p>a. Type 1- The body is no longer producing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin">insulin</a>, hence, this type of diabetes needs a daily dose of insulin injection.</p>
<p>b. Type 2- This is the common diabetes and treated with oral medications.</p>
<p>c. Gestational- This occurs at a later period of pregnancy. The child is prone to become overweight and possess the diabetes disorder as well. The mother later becomes susceptible to Type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p><span id="more-9"></span><strong>II. Monitor your blood sugar/pressure and cholesterol level</strong></p>
<p>a. Blood sugar- There is the A1C test in monitoring blood sugar which aims to have a blood sugar level of below 7. This is to avoid complications in the heart, feet, eyes, kidneys and blood vessels. A1C test is also known as HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin tests, indicates the average blood glucose level of a diabetic patient over the past few months.</p>
<p>b. Blood pressure- The ideal blood pressure is 130/80. <a href="http://www.minusbloodpressure.com">High blood pressure</a> can cause stroke, kidney disease or heart attack.</p>
<p>c. Cholesterol- The goal of most people is to have a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) of less than 100 and high density lipoprotein (HDL) of above 40. The LDL or commonly referred to as the &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol has the ability to block the blood vessels that will cause heart attack or stroke.</p>
<p><strong>III. Deal with your diabetes</strong></p>
<p>a. Have a meal plan.</p>
<p>b. Eat nutritional foods like fruits, vegetables, skinless chicken/turkey, lean meat, dish, beans, low-fat milk or whole-grains.</p>
<p>c. Eat a low salt and low fat diet.</p>
<p>d. Indulge in a 30 minute to 1 hour daily exercise.</p>
<p>e. Contact your mental health counselor if you are experiencing depression.</p>
<p>f. Eliminate the smoking habit.</p>
<p>g. Always maintain good dental hygiene to avoid dental problems.</p>
<p>g. Check for any blisters, cuts or even sores.</p>
<p>h. Monitor your eyesight and refer any changes you notice right away to your doctor.</p>
<p>i. Maintain your daily dose of medicines even if you feel good.</p>
<p><strong>IV Monitor your routines</strong></p>
<p>a. Make sure that daily routines are properly attended to with the use of a checklist or note pad intended for this purpose only.</p>
<p>b. Mark your calendar for the date of your next visit to the doctor so as not neglect it.</p>
<p>c. Maintain a target level of cholesterol, weight, blood pressure, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Controlling your diabetes can deter or delay the occurrence of diabetes problems to maintain a better quality of life and can prolong your lifespan in the process.</p>
