Living with Type II Diabetes : Lifestyle Adjustments Personal preferences

Introduction

Your stomach is your grave ' said George Bernard Shaw , the famous author

An individual is a type II diabetic , elderly , say over sixty years of age , and still alive , with all the hard medication prescribed by the physician-congratulations , you have really mastered and put into practice , certain positive aspects of disciplined living , because you have tackled the ill-effects of

the tough anti-biotic as well the type II diabetes

The other day , my friend , a renowned physician told me about a new drug to treat type II diabetes among the elderly . But ' he said there is possibility of side effects . Some of them are high blood pressure palpitation , stiffness in the muscles , back-pain , a burning sensation in the stomach , liver diss etc

If it creates so many side-effects , what you are prescribing is medicine or poison ' I put a counter-question . Instead of inviting so many complications to cure diabetes , I am happy with my present condition ' This , in short is the position with regard to the relentless research that is going on to find a cure for the diabetes So , far , it must be frankly admitted that the billions of dollars spent on research projects has gone to the drain , and the scientists are groping in the dark . They are trying to find the `bacteria ' or the `virus ' that causes diabetes . They will never be able to find one because the root cause is not the virus , but the human being - in the present case , the type II diabetic patient himself . If an individual begins to read the available literature on diabetics , thousands of research s and opinions , by the time you finish them , the type I Diabetes will turn to type II Diabetes . The madness of scientists and researchers is indeed amazing . They just don 't go to the root cause of diabetes and do research on the frivolous and the non-essentials ! They wish to control an advancing avalanche by the fence of straw ! Or reach the moon by kite-flying . Suppose an area is mosquito-infected . What is the remedy ? It is to kill the mosquitoes by spraying insecticides or any other spray that destroys them . Soon more new mosquitoes will arrive as reinforcements for the killed ones . Obviously to kill them is no solution to the problem . The permanent remedy is to remove the filth which breeds them ! So , unless we go to the root cause of type II diabetes , we shall never be able to cry a halt to the ever increasing number of type II diabetic patients all over the world . Coupled with old age , it is a double tragedy

Problem statement and general of condition /problem

The cases of Type II diabetes among the elderly is increasing like the law of geometrical progression . Diabetes cases as a whole , in USA are a staggering 16 million . The related issue is...
