Type 2 Diabetes and the Hunt For a Miracle Cure

Here we go again!

Since I am still in the process of looking The Seekers cures for diabetes, I figured I would look into the cure for the most common type. That, of course, is type 2. Find the cure for type Please Don't Eat The Daisies and we have done something wonderful for untold millions of people.

Once again, I used my renowned research capabilities and typed in "cure for type 2 diabetes". In this case, nearly four and half million hits came back for "cure" and "type 2." Since being overly anal is not something I care to toss onto my resume, I did not go through each and every hit to find out how many actually dealt with curing type 2 hard drive recovery service In a term that might be considered somewhat less than academic when dealing with research, I can say, with all certainty, there were a lot that did.

The first cure I looked at said, being overweight was not really the problem. No, not at all. What it was happened to be the things that you ate which made you have diabetes. If, coincidently, you also happened to gain weight from these things, that was coincidental to being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Wending my way through the cures, a common thread seems to pop up. What is it? Well, it happens to be the old, I was cured of something I never really had in the first place line. One of those, I was an overweight, under exercised who was diagnosed as "pre-diabetic," and I found the "cure" scenarios.

Why should we believe people like, say, those fine folks at the Mayo Clinic who put out such things as "[t]here's no cure for type 2 diabetes, but there's plenty you can do to manage - or prevent - the condition." I suppose somebody could interpret "there is no cure" in more way than one.

The fact of the matter is, there is no cure for type 2 diabetes! Iron Fist you have it, there are ways to control it. That is what you should be looking for - ways to control it!

I am always preaching about seeing dietitians and diabetes education programs. See them, and do what they tell you to do! This is not just for the diabetic, but also for the family members of diabetics. One of the associated problems of diabetes, to my way of thinking, anyhow, is that it is hard to empathize if you do not really understand.

Please, do not look for miracle cures! Look for the best way to live with what has been dealt.
