I have to comment on Diabetes...Type 1 is an auto immune disease where the immune system is attacking the beta cells of the pancreas where insulin is made...no cure. Type 2, which previously was called Adult Onset is no longer seen in just adults, but children in an alarming rate of increase. This is a lifestyle dis-ease. The pancreas may be exhausted and no longer producing enough insulin, but, more often than not, the fat cells are so saturated they can no longer accept insulin....that is Insulin Resistance. Too many carbs is more the culprit because some of the carbs that are not burned at consumption are stored in the muscles and liver as Glycogen....for reserve. The rest is converted into Triglycerides (fat in the blood) and stored in the cells...that's how they become saturated and unable to function properly. This is a very over simplified explanation....beer....lots of carbs, is very high glycemic and can accerlate the risk of developing Diabetes. The Book Death To Diabetes by DeWayne McCaully will refute, with little room for argument, that Diabetes can be, not only reversed, but cured...he is living proof. The choice we make of what to put into our bodies is the difference between life and death. And the craziness of this issue for me is that as a Wellness Coach who can counsel folks about helath and wellness and as a woman of Faith who prays for healing and wholeness for others, I am, at times, unable to do the same for myself. BUT...I am bound and determined...I am Destined for Joy and to shake off the old demons that haunt me! We all have to keep going
