1.Diabetes is inherited. While heredity plays a part in getting diabetes, the major reasons for getting diabetes is primarily due to a poor lifestyle. 2.Sugar causes diabetes. Sugar does raise glucose somewhat but it is the simple carbohydrates in food that is quickly converted into glucose that leads to high sugar spikes, obesity and ultimately diabetes. Diabetics can eat sugar, but sugar alone does not cause diabetes.
2.Insulin helps control blood sugar and cures diabetes. Generally type 1 diabetics need to be on insulin as their pancreas do not produce enough insulin to move glucose out of the bloodstream. Insulin injections help but ultimately the resistant cells require more and more insulin for glucose to enter. Insulin does not cure diabetes.
The pancreas of type 2 diabetics produce insulin and this can lead to mild symptoms that are easy to overlook. 3.Drinking water helps to flush out excess blood sugar. 6.Oral medications are all you need to control diabetes. You cannot avoid eating carbohydrates. It’s the type of food you eat on a regular basis that ultimately leads to diabetes. 4.Diabetes cannot be controlled. Diabetes is controllable.
If diabetes is not addressed, the complications of blindness, and nerve damage to the feet result leading to amputations. Diabetics are especially vulnerable to complications since their kidneys flush out essential nutrients as they try to rid the body of excess glucose. The body simply has little defense against the pathogens, viruses and diseases that regularly invade the body. 10.There are no natural remedies for diabetes. The diabetic should supplement with vitamins C and E and B vitamin complex. Besides taking supplements a healthy diet and exercise routine can go a long way to controlling blood sugar.
