Great comment...there is so much people don't realize. Aspartame is also close to formaldehyde. If people care they will find out but the problem is that most people allow the mass mind to guide them...

Stop eating artficial sweetners.Did you know that the chemical compound of nutrisweet is one molecule away from clorine?Why would you want to put that in your system.Think about it.

Thanks for sharing Ernie. You are right on the money with the way you overcame Diabetes...

Was not easy at first. Some things that help-Don't have ANY junk food at home. Temptation to overeat is too great to avoid eating them ALL..Avoid eating on impulse e.g. when shoppingOnly eat when hungry. This is contradictory to most other people's recommendations. I have only one major meal a ay in early afternoon. NO breakfast except white milk coffee sweetened with Nutrisweet. REASON ? I am not at all hungry.I am old-72. So my food requirements are considerably less than younger people.

That is great! Most people do not have the self discipline to do that. Thanks for sharing.

Diabetes is not a very pleasant disease to have. I had pre-diabetes some 2 years ago, mainly from being overweight. I went on a carbohydrate restricted diet and lost 10KG- 22 lbs over a period of 12 months. The main foods I gave up were high starch foods such as bread, rice, potatoes. pasta as well as foods with added sugar.To avoid sugar cravings, I use artificial sweeteners.Stayed the same weight-68 kg- for the last 12 months. Blood sugar levels now normal.Hope helps

I do appreciate your comments. A good diet and plenty of exercise is the best way to correct Type 2 diabetes. With the complications that Diabetes presents in the case of poor circulation and other problems, many people feel that the alkaline water is a great benefit to them.

A low carb diet decreases the need to take any medication or wonder water. High carbohydrate diet only imposes a need for insulin to suppress high blood glucose levels. Proteins and fats do not raise blood sugar levels while ANY carbohydrate does cause blood sugar "spikes".See-Diabetes Diet, Dr. Bernstein's Low-Carbohydrate Solution, Richard K. Bernstein, M.D., F.A.C.E., F.A.C.N., C.W.S., FACCWS.Hope helps

Concerning the nervous system ;the percentage that any nerve impulses going to any part in the body that is interrupted is the same percentage of brain activity. Upper cervical specific doctors can help go to( up c spine ). in other words diabetes can be caused by a nervous system that is not working right. Every one needs to know this.
