Hi,

Dont panic! Diabetes can make you go blind if it is poorly controled over a long period of time, but this does not mean that your partner will go blind. There are many serious side effects from diabetes but achieveing good control will lower the risks.

The type of diabetes that I think you are talking about (type 2) occurs when your body becomes resistant to insulin (not to be confused with type 1 diabetes where your body stops producing insulin, many people with type 2 diabetes produce more insulin than normal but it is still not effective enough). Type 2 diabetes may be controled by diet, tablets, or insulin. Your partner should consult their doctor about what will work best for them, but read about it yourselves too so that you know about and understand all of the ways that you can better control your partners diabetes and this will help to reduce the risk of complications. Try http://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/ - this is part of diabetes uk's web site - their information is relyable as they are a large charity and they check information carefully before publishing it.

Diabetes can be hard work, but the most important thing to remember is to eat healthily, take your medication if required, and see your dr regularly to review your medication etc. You should always discuss things that you're worried about (like complications) with your doctor - keep on at them if you're not happy with or don't understand their answer, and if you don't feel like you're getting anywhere see a different doctor.

Hope that helps - good luck :)

I have stage 2, and I am 29 years old. I was diagnosed with it when I was 20. Seriously, the best advice I can give you, or her, is to stay positive. This CAN BE MANAGED. That took a while for me to understand. IT CAN BE MANAGED through diet and exercise and medication if needed. I reccomend seeing a dr. and getting checkups regularly, especially for the eyes. I have diabetic retinopathy and have had 2 laser treatments and I am fine. Don't lose hope. You can still live a long healthy, active life while being diabetic.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I'm sorry to hear that your partner has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.

No doubt, your head is swimming with all the information that you've been given. The only thing I would add is that you should take a look at some, if not all, of the sites that I've listed below. If you need more, send me an email. I have plenty of urls in my favorites. You'll notice that I've included sites in just the UK and USA. I do have a few sites in Canada and Australia too, if that's where you're from. Alternatively, if you do a google search, and just include the word diabetes in the search bar, you'll be presented with hundreds of thousands of sites.

As others have already indicated, the best thing your partner can do is to get his/her blood sugars within the realms of 4-7mmol/l for UK measurements or 72-126 mg/dL for US measurements, and attempt to keep it there.

It is important for periodical eye examinations to be done (at least annually, but more if there has already been some deterioration). Even when problems are identified, there are treatments. I have personally had a tremendous amount of laser treatment (lazer if you're American) on both of my eyes over the last 15 or so years. They are now relatively stable, so it's worth considering.

Who is it that is worried about your partner going blind? Is it doctors, ophthalmologists, friends, relatives, yourself? If you are concerned about this, I would advise you ask your doctor for him/her to refer you to an opthalmologist for specialist treatment.

Best of luck to you both ... for it is both of you that will need to deal with the condition.

I am assuming you are talking about Diabetes Type 2, Adult onset. Basically it means that your body is not producing enough insulin to effectively convert all of the glucose in your body into what your body needs. The excess glucose will build up in the body clogging arteries and veins. Now, my mother has diabetes and has had it since 1994-5 She has been able to control it through diet and exercise and the best way to avoid the complications such as eyesight and loss of limbs is to set a rigid schedual on eating exercise and such. Unforunately there will be some eyesight degredation, as well as some loss of feeling, but the longer that they are able to last without having to go on insulin shots the better off they will be. Over 8 years my mother has gone from no glasses to moderate perscription. They are working on treatments to reverse the lack of insulin production, as well as help with the other effects of diabetes. Good luck to you and your partner and never give up hope! This is the most important part of the whole process, hope can help more than you realise.

Serious answer.
There are thousands of people who have suffered from both type 1 and type 2 diabetes who have turned to naturals for help. Blood sugar levels can be regulated by giving the pituitary gland (the insulin provider) the right tools to do the job it was originally intended to do. By eating low-glycaemic foods and taking exercise,(need not be strenuous) a walk in the morning and evening for at least 20 minutes would be good, can help your body bring down its sugar levels. A man who took some naturals that I recommended began to feel better within a couple of weeks. Thinking that it was due to some of his Doctor's recommendations, he stopped taking my suggested remedy, and very quickly began to feel dreadful. After a week of going back on my remedy he said he felt much brighter and back to something like normal. Diabetes can be beaten, but you need to go back to the root cause. This can be achieved and you can knock it on the head. I have other success stories but they are too numerous to list here.
For more information please contact me.
Help is here.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/MHtYq

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.
