There is the threat of lapsing into a coma because of low levels of glucose. Maybe you have forgotten and taken too much insulin and experienced the same results It is great that a little sip of orange juice or a small piece of candy will bring you back around in a lot of cases. Day in and day out you labor with diabetes,giving yourself insulin or the not so laborious route of taking pills. You say to yourself…I am tired of this. But you realize you have to do this to live. Suddenly you think….There must be a better way.

If you are one of the lucky ones,your mind settles on supplements. You realize there has to be more,something better,a way to deny the symptoms of diabetes the free reign to tear down your body,to shut down your kidneys,to cause you to have to deal with diabetic nerve damage. You decide within yourself…I am going to fight,deny and defy this sickness the control of my being. I refuse to give in or up.

Now you are interested in knowing all there is to know about diabetes. You find out that it is a failure by your body to metabolize fat. A failure of the pancreas to produce adequate amounts of insulin,a failure of your body to use the insulin produced. But you are determined not to allow one last failure. You will not fail in fighting this illness. You prefer the supplements route. You determine to give your body what it needs to function properly without so much outside assistance from insulin.

Medical supervision is necessary and you inform your doctor of your intentions.Because diabetes can be insulin dependent or not insulin dependent,you carefully map out a plan of attack. You change your lifestyle,and take supplements that contribute to sugar control and prevention or management of diabetic complications.

You start to take vitamins….C,E,Bilberry,,magnesium,along with about six other supplements daily. Shortly you notice a difference. You do not feel the same,you do not take as much insulin,your doctor suggests reducing insulin intake,finally you realize,though the war is not over yet,because you have a few battles left. But finally victory is attainable. You feel like moving forward.

Sometimes defiance in the face of sickness,nets us satisfaction…A goal can be reached if you believe it can,and strive toward the desired effect.
