Treating diabetes.

It often happens that some people suffer from diabetes and are not aware it, because their symptoms seem insignificant. According to recent studies, the early diagnosis of the disease may reduce the likelihood of occurrence of complications. Some of the symptoms you should watch out for are: Excessive thirst, Excessive hunger, Blurred vision, Increased fatigue, Unusual weight loss, Numbness in the arms or legs, Weakness, Vomiting and stomach pain and Lack of concentration.

What we know most about diabetes is that it can cause many physical problems. But what we usually ignore, are the emotional reactions of the patient.

According to research carried out at many universities, diabetics are twice more likely to suffer from depression than non-diabetics. These patients feel sadness and disappointment and seem to mourn for the carefree life they enjoyed before the onset of the disease. Others fear the complications of diabetes, including nephropathy, blindness, heart disease and circulatory problems. It is true that diabetics have to go through constant blood tests, medical care, medications and follow a special diet, which can make them feel suppressed and deprived.

How to treat the disease without medication:

The first thing you need to do is to avoid consuming foods rich in fat and sugar. Foods high in sugar: jam, chocolate, honey, sweets, cakes, biscuits, most breakfast cereals, soft drinks, juices.

High-fat foods: fried foods, fat cheese, butter, fresh cream, pastry, sausages, meats, nuts, mayonnaise, potato chips, bakery items.

Additionally, you have to avoid consuming eggs. A recent study found that eating an egg a day can lead to the development of type II diabetes. After 20 years of research on 57,000 men and women, scientists from Boston and Massachusetts, found that consuming one egg per day increases the risk of type II diabetes by 60%. For women the risk was increased by 77%. However, the consumption of one egg a week does not increase the risk for this condition.

It would also be very helpful to lose some weight, if you have extra pounds. About 80% of people diagnosed with this condition were overweight at the time of the diagnosis.
