I have decided to write about this condition because for one, it has affected (and even wiped out!) some of those who are close to my heart, and also because there has been a recent surge in the amount of products and their theatrical ads that claim to possess the key to a complete CURE from Diabetes. The number one question that I have to ask these group of people who have mushroomed out of nowhere is, 'Do you people even know what Diabetes Mellitus is besides the generally known fact that diabetics have abnormal glucose levels in their blood?' There is YET to be an official statement that this condition can be cured because this isn't simply something where the focus is placed in keeping the glucose levels within its normal range but in digging deep down to its root cause or should I say the culprit of it which isn't anything else but the burnt-out pancreas itself. I mentioned earlier that we are dealing with a population of patients with abnormal glucose levels instead of bluntly saying that these people have high sugar levels because there are a lot of them who also have low blood sugar levels, neither of which is good for the proper functioning of the body cells. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (still incurable) condition in many that happens when the pancreas is not able to produce insulin as much as it should or completely shuts down and as a result, the glucose in the blood stays in the blood and is not taken up by the body cells to be utilized for energy. There are 2 problems here: the elevated glucose level with its own damaging effects upon the blood vessels and nerves which goes on to negatively impact an array of systems in the body in addition to depriving the cells from their major fuel source leaving them with no choice but to turn to the alternate fuel afforded by the fats in our body with eventual ketone formation and acidosis. In short, your life changes completely once you have been diagnosed with Diabetes, either type 1 or 2, both of which aren't reversible. Type 1 in its part is at least something that's autoimmune to which there isn't anything much that you can do to prevent its onset but Type 2 is about how much you are able to stay active and hold down your sweet tooth temptations. The destruction of the pancreas either by autoantibodies or being overburdened results in Diabetes and the only way to a cure is if you get yourself a brand new pancreas but if exchanging an organ for a newer version of it was as easy as changing the spare parts in your car, the researchers who are avidly working on it would have come up with the solution for it, wouldn't they? When you ponder on it though, the last thing that the pharmaceutical giants would want is a complete cease in the production of the hundreds of multi-million dollar worth of medications lined up for diabetics that only offer a lifetime control thus requiring a continuous supply in the absence of a much anticipated cure, so this now makes anyone think of the possibility that maybe, a gag has been placed over the many budding researchers out there and that is why till this day, despite the advancing technology, we are still heavily reliant on meds for something that's clearly organic in nature. The whole point of this article isn't intended to slander any parties involved but to clarify to the public that diabetes isn't curable and that's a fact. Your shaman or your herbal supplier or alternative medical practitioner would be telling you otherwise but trust me, there isn't one that's close to the truth. They may help make it seem like you are cured but you will realise that it was just something manageable and nothing more than that. Try getting off those meds etc and see how your sugar level shoots up after that. There is nothing wrong in giving the complementary or alternative medicine a chance to prove their worth but keep one thing in mind; the term cure for diabetes just does not exist yet, at least not in 2018. It is also crucial for some of our doctors to STOP telling their patients that they can live a normal life with diabetes. Not only is this sentence directly culminating false hopes but it can be dangerous to some when they take it as it is and start living the way they desire. There is NOTHING normal about being reliant on oral hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin and having to be mindful of what you eat and sweating it out when others without diabetes are able to get by without diet and exercise for a few days and still be okay. You will not understand how devastating living with Diabetes can be until you actually have it because it robs you off the opportunity to eat all that you want. Which normal person would want to be restricted when it comes to the basic things in life such as food and pleasure? (If dieting and burning calories in the gym gives you pleasure, you are not considered normal! ). Hopefully, this will help reduce the redundant ideas about Diabetes that seemingly puts into mockery the desperate ply of the ones cursed with it.
