This is not medical advise. Information contained here is based on my own research for my own information. I feel that this information may be of value to others who may have blood sugar problems, or who just want more information. If you have a medical problem, you need to consult with your doctor. Diabetes information here should not be used to diagnosis or treat any medical problems. Diabetes like many other major health problems has some serious myths out in the public mind. Many times people consider blood sugar problems to not be as serious as say a heart attach, a stroke or cancer. Because diabetes is what is considered a “silent disease” we do not give it the consideration we should. Another “silent disease” is Hypertension, which is also found in many cases along with diabetes.

Many health professionals now think that Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease all run together, that if you have one there is a very good chance that you will develop the other two. It has progressed to the point that it causes you problems you are already way into the disease process. At this point you probably have damage to blood vessels and tissue.

Most Type II diabetics have had the disease for 10 years before it is diagnosed. It usually takes that long before the disease causes problems that require you to go to the doctor. Because you don’t have much diabetes information. Many people think if you’re overweight you’re going to develop none-insulin dependent diabetes, commonly known as Type II diabetes. They sometimes think this comes from eating too much sugar or sweets. Thus causing you to become overweight. As far as being overweight does not mean that you will for sure develop the disease. It is only a risk factor for it. Eating too much sugar or sweets in and by itself is not going to cause this disease. You can become overweight from other types of food. Any diet that has high caloric value, whether it comes from sugar or from fat can produce increased weight, thereby setting you up for the possibility of developing Type II diabetes.
