Now comes decision time, make the extreme effort and changes or just let it ride......and accept fate.

Diabetes, is really not a disease at all, it is a complicated metabolic disorder.  It has a combination of contributing and rapidly worsening causes, and requires that the patient himself become educated overall about the living with and "controlling" the disease before it, under stealth, causes bodily damage unbeknown to the patient that can never be overcome or undone.

The progression advances and likely is advancing right now without any clue, warning or notification to you of any kind.

Therefore, right now, is of life importance, decision time.

Every day of delay can cost you unrecoverable body damage and each day of progression makes the task harder to control.

The diabetic person will need to do a crash course to learn and be fully informed of what the options there are to do about it.

Maybe they have too much going on in their life right now, they just are not ready and can not "get to it" right now.

When they do "get to it", they may find it is already too late and serious unrecoverable bodily damage unbeknown to them has "already" been done.

There are so many facets of this diabetic progression that it takes great effort of monitoring your own blood sugar at least 3 times a day at the right time and stage.  You need  to know what readings mean in relation to the time lapse, what you ate or had going on so that you soon realize (become self educated) what is taking you the wrong way and what helps.

Stop doing what is causing the wrong reaction and do more of what works.

In addition you have blood pressure, and blood fats to monitor and get under control.

 You become your own tester, your own record keeper. Your own diagnostician and prescribe for yourself new or more action to move results (control of blood sugar) (and blood pressure, Triglycerides etc) in the right direction.

This is a 24 hour job and you can not hire anyone to do it for you.

It is quite frankly a lot of work that you did not ask for nor want right now.

It is your life and you need to decide very soon, are you going to step up to the plate, do you have what it takes, the gumption and motivation to do whatever needs to be done, day after day effort without fail, to "beat" diabetes, or are you going to ignore it and go on with your present life style as long as it lasts.

Your doctor and health team (no matter how good or how expensive) merely make suggestions, prescribe drugs to treat the symptoms, (do nothing to treat or stop the cause) do occasional backup tests, but it is the patient themselves that has day to day total responsibility.

How your diabetes goes is 90% determined by you and actions you take or do not take.

You will personally need to make dozens of decisions and choices every day that affect your diabetic out come.

You will need to become your own "expert" on the subject and learn almost overnight what it takes, try out and find "what works" to control your diabetes.

 It is now known what happens when you get into a downward spiral to degeneration, disability and death when entrapped in routine "make life easy right now" medication.

We will not go into that here but warn you that this is an important decision time on what course you are going to take.

You need to get your blood sugar under control immediately, with medication if necessary, or even insulin, and get off of it eventually as you learn to control it without outside medication.

Work this out with your doctor.

Decisions on your own to get control of your blood sugar and blood pressure, with diet, exercise and supplements, (and stress control) all of these done at precise times, are wants and quantity as well as "what", are all under your control and requires you to be responsible for constatnly making what amounts to life or death decisions.

You and many others just want to turn it over to someone

We suggest you research and become fully educated on your choices in this matter, that gravely affects your stay on earth.  You may want to look into this enough to realize this has not been working.

More are getting diabetes at an exploding rate, it is not "controlled" the death and disabled totals are going up yearly. In short there is no "magic pill".

The only people succeeding in getting out from under the inevitable "progression" of the disease are those taking very strict discipline in getting themselves to do what needs to be done.

The first thing is to become promptly educated in what has happened to you.

They never set out to cure or correct what is causing the severe metabolic disorder you have acquired. 

If you want to correct the problem you have to take charge and responsibility of finding out what works and get after it right now, not next week.

A recent study in San Diego, reported in this newspaper, found that they could turn diabetes around in as little as two weeks.

  These successful people paid $2,800 a week to be part of the test and study. (that's commitment) the pros got them to do what you can do on your own but wont have the discipline to do unless you have got $2,800 a week riding on it.

By the way.... Only half of test people succeeded in getting their diabetes turned around ( not stopped) in the two weeks.

We have here and others have in numerous books at length spelled out what works for most and how you can determine what will work for you. There is no magic bullet, we promise only a lot of work on your part.

Our part is education, of getting and keeping you educated and informed in what's working, what's not working and what others are doing and how they are progressing.

  Your publisher is in the same boat, when he is finding his way out of the swamp he is marking the trail for others to get out also.

 

We are working hard to supply you the best map.

The biggest problem is 40 years of your life style habit, you desperately want to continue doing what you have always done. 

See our article on getting your new Diabetes life style on automatic, click here.

It will take 21 days of very difficult and frustrating action to get your new routines on automatic, where you do it all without thinking about it. 

During the 21 days you will be like an alcoholic or drug addict. Almost frantic, wanting to go back doing what you have always done. 

The struggle will be internal and yours alone. 

A diabetes support group weekly meetings will help. 

You will likely find excuses to want to avoid these changes…. over six weeks or longer to establish new habit patterns.

You do however, need to correct and update your life style and diet at the earliest moment.

  Your doctor may want to and we suggest you get assistance to get your blood sugar under immediate control until and as you learn how to handle and control it on your own. 

Read our article on, "You may have type "1.5" Diabetes".

Just as soon as possible, take control with exercise, diet and supplements. (also work on lowering your stress levels.) When you have your blood sugar levels down to respectable, your doctor will likely welcome your getting off any temporary assistance insulin or medication.

Without your participation, more and more medication is needed as your disease progresses.

Read elsewhere on how you can easily get caught in a downward self perpetuating spiral unless you take control.

Remember, with diabetes, Nothing works until you do.
