"Based on the research and information I have on May 06 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright © 2006

No other ailment requires the patient to do 90% of the work and be 90% responsible for his own recovery or holding his own, and/or staving off the advent of complications. "define".

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 you need to know that monitoring your own blood sugar is just a part to keep from developing diabetic complications, such as kidney problems, neuropathy, (dead feet) blindness etc.

What you are not being told is that your diabetes is just the tip of the ice berg, it is to make you aware you have some serious problems progressing and including the cause of heart attacks, strokes, cancer, etc including All degenerative diseases are most likely (not diabetes,) will be what will kill you.

Diabetes is likely and can overnight make you an invalid, but it is associated (progressing same cause) degenerative diseases that are more likely to be what kills you prematurely.

Many deal only with the high blood sugar symptom, when this is a part but only a small part of the problem.

Diabetes was a warning that what causes your diabetes is also accelerating them and you need to stop the cause immediately for your diabetes sake, but which will also put a stop to progression of the degenerative disease killers.

Become self educated, what is taking you the wrong way and what helps quickly eliminate the cause.

...... THIS IS WORK, DYING IS EASY.......

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 your life lasts.

You may say you are too busy right now, too many commitments to do much about it right now. If you had a heart attack would you STOP doing what you are doing and take necessary steps to survive the attack?

The statistics are in fact if you don't take care of your diabetes immediately, your chances of having a heart attack are several times normal.

Your doctor may reassure you, just cut down on the sugar and pastry's a little, take your meds and you will be fine......

Truth of the matter, statistics are "You Wont Be Fine".

This is now proven to be a lie, two multi million dollar government studies, (over 10,000 diabetics each,) others by U.S., Canada and Australia, prove those on medication are dying earlier then those doing little or nothing to control their diabetes.

You should be aware by now, that if on sugar and flour for over thirty years, you are a Sugarholic, and will have more trouble getting Sugar Sober, then Cocaine Addicts have getting off Cocaine.

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 constantly making what amounts to life or death decisions.

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

(pay them some big money) that will assure you that if you just stick with this magic pill, everything will be fine.

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.

  How to best stop it in its tracks and not get trapped in a medication program that only gets worse and worse.  Remember, the medical profession is only treating "symptoms", relieving you from noticing so severely some of the effects of diabetes for a little longer.

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.
