Maybe I am not a diabetic!

The Center of Disease Prevention, in Washington DC, has said that by 2050, one third of America will have diabetes. This means the person to your left, to your right, or you. America has an epidemic going on. So does the rest of the world.

Do you want to bet that you might not get diabetes? Or do you want to learn first, what happens to you if you get the disease?

Nobody can tell if you just got diabetes. It's not like a broken arm and you have it in a sling. Diabetes is called the Silent Killer. There is no recognizable symptom. You do start drinking a large amount of liquids, and therefore, you urinate a lot. Your body knows you have diabetes, and it is trying to flush it out of your body. Most people do not recognize drinking and urinating as anything out of the ordinary.

When you have diabetes, you can become blind. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness. It is the second leading cause of heart attacks. You know it is happening to you when your world begins to darken. The back of your eyeball is being eaten away. The retina is at the back of the eyeball, and the center of the retina, is the macula. This is what is being attacked. Some call it macular degeneration. Some think the degeneration is naturally age related, and they call it AMD, aged macular degeneration. Your hope is to stop adding to the cause of diabetes, and retain some eye-sight.

Without a little door to get through to the back of your head, to the retina, there is little that anyone can do to rectify the damage for you.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney failure. Your kidney is like your clothes dryer, that you use after you have washed clothes. The dryer has hundreds of filters whose job it is to collect small particles. It is usually lint. After a fair amount of use, our mothers take the filters out and rinse them clean.

The key is that for either the dryer or the kidney, there is debris that is within their volume that migrates to the filters where they become attached to the filters. For the dryer, there is a mechanism we call the mother that takes the filters after every wash-dry and cleans them of the captured debris.

Unfortunately, there is no comparable mechanism for the kidney and the kidney fills up with the debris caused by diabetes. Sooner or later, the kidney, acting as the sewer system, is full. It's like your toilet being full, and the body no longer works.

There is a hope. Diabetic patients go to a facility three times a week, to be seated in a chair for three hours that has tubes attached to their body, that carries a saline solution into their kidney. This is to wash the debris away. Records show that this is effective for several months. Then your body gives up.

The medical problem is the large difficulty in keeping the diabetic's kidney clean. There is on-going research in several places in the world and it appears that a replacement may operate for a while, and then it becomes the same as the original kidney. This replacement operation will cost thousands and this may be the limiting factor.

Obviously, stopping an on-going cause of diabetes in a diabetic patient should be a doctor's first goal. The second goal should be to have the patient take the supplements that change into the killers that search out and eliminate the diabetic destroyers.

Another bad complication of diabetes is to have a non- traumatic limb amputation. Most amputations are sudden physical injury limb amputations, caused by physical activities.

When the doctor tells you that you have neuropathy, you already know something is wrong because your feet hurt.

It starts at your feet and ends at your knees when they cut off your leg. I was at a clinic visiting a friend of mine. She had neuropathy. I arrived just in time to see a doctor injecting something into her ankle. Oh, I said, that's to stop the diabetes from going on up to the knee. No the doctor said, it's to deaden the pain that would go to her brain. Some patients don't know they have the pain that goes with the disease.

Your heart is not spared. You will have heart attacks. The International Diabetes Federation (lDF) say that 8 out of 10 diabetics will die from cardiovascular disease.

How does diabetes abed so many parts of your body? Because it starts, and remains in your bloodstream. When you eat, your digestive system's digests, good or bad food, into glucose and deposits it into your bloodstream. And your bloodstream carries it to every one of the thousands of cells that make up your body.

Your mother gave you glucose to start with. The new glucose is available in the bloodstream ready to deposit some glucose into the cells so they have the ability to perform their physical needs. You can't raise your arm without all of the arm's cells providing the energy to do so.

It's amazing that a fundamental virtue of nature is the potential carrier of a potential disease when we eat the wrong food that can cause a disease.

With a diabetic in the family, the average family spends about $14 to $15, 000 per year for diabetes.

You now know what happens to you if you get the disease. The big question is are you a diabetic?

If you are very young, and think you have many years to go yet before you have to worry about a disease that afters the ''older'' people, know that older can begin at a age much younger than you would think. There are 340,000 children becoming diabetics each year.

Now we are at a vital question. ''How do I find out if I am already a diabetic?'' OK, ask your body, it knows! You find out how much glucose you have in your bloodstream!

You take the finger prick test. You use a test set from the pharmacy. You take ONE SMALL drop of blood, and you put it on your meter. The meter tells you a number. If you were born a hyperglycemian, you should be at 120. If you were born a homoglycemian, you should be at 70. If your number is different, you need to find out what it means. I can help you.
