You are correct about the rising incidence of Diabetes. In fact, the increase in Diabetes is reaching epidemic numbers and is out of control. There is a commercial running on TV here in Canada that claims that there are 3 million Canadians with Diabetes. That represents about 1 out of every 11 people. The commercial is asking for donations for the Diabetes foundation.

Type II diabetes is preventable and curable for most people. Eat properly (consume a predominantly alkaline diet consisting of vegetables and fruits or moderate your diet and drink alkaline water, get some daily exercise (that doesn’t mean you have to be a gym rat) , get enough sleep, and reduce your stress. Most people that have Type II diabetes have eaten their way into the problem, so they can eat their way out.

It is easy to arrange to get a glucose test done when you visit your doctor. Find out your blood sugar level, and if the leve is increasing or is already high, talk to your physician about alternatives. The easy way to go is to take a drug, but your body won’t thank you for it. Even if a drug is necessary in the short term, I have learned that it is always better to investigate natural alternatives. If your physician is not on board, set up an appointment with a naturopathic doctor.

The cost of treating (not curing) Diabetes is now estimated to be about $2,800 per person in Canada, where we have much lower costs that in the States.
