Answer 4

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.

No clear symptoms unless it is extremely bad.

Your doctor can order a fasting sugar test to tell for sure. What happens is you don't eat anything or drink anything for 12 hours. Then you go to a doctors office and they give you a drink with a lot of sugar in it. Then over the next few hours they regularly test your blood sugar and see if your body is producing enough insulin to bring the sugar rush under control. If it doesn't, then you probably have diabetes.

Answer 6

My husband was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes 25 years ago. He had NO signs or symptoms.

See your doctor - have a fasting glucose tolerance test done. It's one of the best methods to determine blood glucose levels.

One other thing, after doing much research on the subject, let me caution you - if the doctor says you are "prediabetic" don't listen to him/her. There is no such thing as "prediabetic" - that's a little like saying I am a "little pregnant".

Diabetes is truly a serious disease. I best heard it described as "termites in the body" you can't see the horrible damage until it's to late.

Get to a doctor - get your blood test done - rest easy. It is a very managable disease if you know what you are doing.

Good luck.

Answer 8

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 9

The classic answer is the "four Ps"
polydypsia = excessive thirst
polyurea = excessive urination
polyphagia = excessive eating, as you try to make up the lack of glucose in your cells by consuming more calories, which makes the ketosis worse as you lack the insulin to move the glucose into your cells, etc.
polyketouria = ketones in the urine, and ketoacidosis in the blood stream

Actually, here's a snippit from wikipedia which explains in more detail:
The classical triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst, and consequent increased fluid intake) and polyphagia (increased appetite). These symptoms may develop quite fast in type 1, particularly in children (weeks or months), but may be subtle or completely absent - as well as developing much more slowly - in type 2. In type 1 there may also be weight loss (despite normal or increased eating), increased appetite, and irreducible fatigue. These symptoms may also manifest in type 2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled.

Thirst develops because of osmotic effects—sufficiently high glucose (above the "renal threshold") in the blood is excreted by the kidneys, but this requires water to carry it and causes increased fluid loss, which must be replaced. The lost blood volume will be replaced from water held inside body cells, causing dehydration. Prolonged high blood glucose causes changes in the shape of the lens in the eye, leading to vision changes. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diagnosis of type 1; it should always be suspected in such cases.
Patients (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an extreme state of dysregulation characterized by the smell of acetone on the patient's breath, Kussmaul breathing (a rapid, deep breathing), polyuria, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain and any of many altered state of consciousness or arousal (eg, hostility and mania or, equally, confusion and lethargy). In severe DKA, coma (unconsciousness) may follow, progressing to death if untreated. In any form, DKA is a medical emergency and requires expert attention.
A rarer but equally severe presentation is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes, and is mainly the result of dehydration due to the polyuria. Often, the patient has been drinking extreme amounts of sugar-containing drinks, leading to a vicious circle in regard to water loss.
