Diabetes type 2 is a common and often misunderstood disease. It requires attention to details. Details, such as your blood glucose numbers, and details, such as what you ate for dinner. There is a correlation between the two.

This is a web site that aims to educate you. Educate you about the blood sugar numbers. Educate you about healthy eating and why it is so important. Our main goal is to make you more knowledgeable.

You will also learn about:

• Prevention of diabetes type 2, including a ‘diabetes food guide’.
• Facts about diabetes, such as ‘who discovered diabetes.’
• Symptoms of diabetes type 2, for example, ‘diabetes foot pain’.
• Treatment of diabetes type 2, including ‘testing for diabetes’.
• Research around diabetes, such as a ‘new diabetes drug’.
• Support services available for you, for example, a ‘diabetes care journal’.

Diabetes type 2 is a complex disease. It affects every part of your body - your eyes, your heart, your kidneys, and your nerve cells. In this respect it is a unique disease. It has the power to kill you, if you are not attentive to the details.

We explain for you ‘what causes diabetes’ and ‘how to prevent diabetes’. Once you understand the causes, you will be able to focus on prevention. You can reverse diabetes type 2, if you are willing to make some lifestyle changes.

Two of the risk factors for diabetes type 2 are excess weight and inactivity. There are other risk factors over which you have no control, such as your age. But, you do have control over your weight and your level of activity.

We did not say this would be easy. Lifestyle changes are some of the hardest things you can do. We are here to support you in your efforts to make your life better. Your life does not have to be filled with negativity, bitterness, and complaints.

Nothing succeeds like success. Lose the first three or four pounds and the next ones will be easier. Go for a walk or join your local YMCA. You can do this.
This can be a scary time for you. So learn all you can, and you’ll be in better shape to get through this.

Winston Churchill said, "When you're going through hell, keep going."
