Diabetes - A National Epidemic
You Can Beat Diabetes! Diabetic Support!
(PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- Are you a diabetic? If so, you are definitely not
alone. There are approximately 16 million people in the United States who have
diabetes. Public health experts believe diabetes will be the next great
lifestyle disease epidemic to afflict the United States. A study by doctors from
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently startled people
with the finding that the prevalence of diagnosed cases of diabetes had
increased 33% over the past eight years.
While an estimated 11 million
have been diagnosed, 5 million people are not aware that they have the disease.
Each day approximately 2,200 people are diagnosed with diabetes. About 798,000
people will be diagnosed this year. Do you have a friend or family member with
diabetes? If you have not been diagnosed as a diabetic, are you perhaps one of
the millions that are undiagnosed? The following are some warning signs to look
for:
· Frequent urination
· Unusual thirst
· Extreme hunger
·
Extreme fatigue
· Irritability
· Frequent infections
· Blurred
vision
· Cuts / bruises that are slow to heal
· Tingling / numbness in the
hands and feet
· Recurring skin, gum or bladder infections
There are
two primary reasons for Diabetes, 1) A prolonged diet high in carbohydrates and
2) Improper and under nourishment. Today, most people with diabetes are only
treating the symptoms and not getting to the root of the problem. Furthermore,
most medications given to diabetics are compounding problems instead of getting
to the source. The best way to manage Diabetes is to get to the root
causes.
Diabetics can help protect themselves by changing their daily
routine. Although doctors have stated that there is no cure for diabetes, the
following is recommended:
· Exercise
· Reducing sugar consumption
·
Improved nutrition
· Nutritional supplementation
A company named
Sportron International has developed a “ Diabetic Pack “ that is nutritionally
supporting today’s crisis with dramatic results. World renown nutritionist, Dr.
W. Alan Tomlinson recently said, “Sportron’s Diabetic Pack is the most advanced
nutritional support available and has been scientifically developed to intervene
and assist in cases of abnormal sugar metabolism.”
The bottom line is
that Diabetes has become a national epidemic. In an effort to assist Diabetics,
there is a Weekly Diabetic Support Call with Live Q & A session Thursdays
8:30 EST 212-990-8000 passcode 9902# . This is not a sales call, it is a support
