Women, Diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: How Exercise Can Help

Some women are at higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes because of a syndrome that often goes undiagnosed: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, affects between six and ten percent of women who are of childbearing age. One of the symptoms of PCOS is often excess weight gain, with that weight carried around the abdomen. Reducing the risks of developing type 2 diabetes in women with PCOS involves, in part, improving insulin sensitivity.

If you have symptoms such as irregular or infrequent menstrual cycles, acne, excessive body or facial hair, you may have PCOS. PCOS causes a hormonal imbalance that can cause these types of symptoms. Your doctor will be able to identify the syndrome and direct you to appropriate treatment to control the condition and prevent future complications such as heart disease, infertility, endometrial cancer, and diabetes.

Women with PCOS should be sure to eat a healthy diet, and include regular exercise each week. Maintaining a healthy weight, and losing any extra pounds, will not only help to prevent cardiovascular disease and diabetes, it will also help to reduce the symptoms associated with PCOS.

There are some women that, even with increased exercise and a healthy diet, will not lose weight. Will these women still benefit? Studies have shown that exercising has healthy benefits, regardless of its effect on weight. Exercise affects how the body metabolizes carbohydrates (glucose), and improves insulin sensitivity, both of which help to prevent diabetes from developing. As our body becomes less sensitive to insulin, the pancreas increases its production of insulin to try to compensate. By exercising, and improving our body's sensitivity to insulin, we keep the pancreas from working overtime.

Losing weight can be particularly important to women, not only for the health benefits, but also because of the effect on energy and self-esteem. Even if the exercise does not help you to lose weight in the short term, it will still have a benefit to your health. Before starting an exercise program, it is important to check with your doctor. They may have recommendations on starting a program, or cautions based on your personal medical history.

There are several ways to start an exercise program; the key is finding what works for you. You may choose to ride a stationary bike, swim, walk, or dance.

Walking is a great way to begin a habit of regular exercise. Women who enjoy a daily walk report feeling better, sleeping better, and experience less moods swings. Should you decide to start a walking program, make sure you have a quality pair of walking shoes. Your local running store can provide you with information on the style of shoe best for you. When you begin, do not worry about your speed, or how long you walk. Even a slow-paced walk will be good for your health, and as you build up stamina, you will be able to increase the length of your walk. Start out slow, studies show that even a slow-paced walk is good to your health. As you continue your program, you will probably find your stamina builds up and you can add more distance to your walk. An excellent goal to work towards is a thirty-minute walk every day.

The Diabetes Diet

Although a "miracle" diabetes diet does not exist to cure the disease, if you have type 2 diabetes, there are dietary rules you can follow that will ensure you stay as healthy as possible. When it comes right down to it, proper nutrition is the only “diet” you need to follow. Many people are inexperienced with following a healthy diet, but once you get into the swing of things, eating properly will become part of your lifestyle.

To start off, it’s best to follow the nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid, with special attention to carbohydrate intake. Also, diabetics should maintain a regular meal schedule and exercise portion control.

Starches are allowed in a diabetes diet, as long as you control portions and don’t consume too much starchy food. Starches are present in bread, cereal, and starchy vegetables.

Consume five fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. This can easily be accomplished by eating a piece of fruit for a snack several times a day, or by eating vegetables with dinner. Soups, stir-fries, and chili make good hiding places for veggies if you need clever ways to add more good stuff into your meals.

You can still eat sugars and sweets (perhaps surprisingly) with type 2 diabetes, but do so in moderation, which means once or twice a week maximum. One way to eat fewer sweets without neglecting your sweet tooth is to split a dessert in half.

Especially beneficial for diabetics are soluble fibers, so you need to get as many as these into your diet as possible. Luckily, you can find soluble fibers in many foods, including fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Soluble fibers are excellent because they aid in slowing down and reducing the absorption of glucose from the intestines. Legumes (such as cooked kidney beans) have the highest amount of soluble fibers, and also keep blood sugar levels in check. Insoluble fibers, found in bran, whole grains and nuts, are also part of a healthy diet because they work like intestinal scrubbers, by cleaning out the lower gastrointestinal tract.

For many people, contacting a dietician is the best way to put together a good diabetes diet. Everyone is different, so keeping in contact with your physician and nutrition consultant will ensure your diet plan is the optimum one for you. A professional will take into account your lifestyle, medication, weight, other medical issues, and your favorite foods to come up with a plan that will keep you healthy and satisfy your cravings for particular flavors.

A Healthy Weight – and Lifestyle

If you have type 2 diabetes, it’s also very important to maintain a healthy weight. With type 2 diabetes, added body fat actually makes it more difficult for your body to produce and use insulin. Trimming down as little as 10 or 20 pounds has the potential to improve your blood sugar significantly.

Smokers are advised to quit as soon as possible, as smoking can aggravate diabetes and make it more difficult to cope with the disease. Because diabetics often experience circulation problems in the legs and feet, smoking is a dangerous habit to continue - it decreases blood flow even more. Smoking also increases LDL cholesterol and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.

If you keep your blood sugar under control, moderate alcohol consumption is allowed, but avoid drinking on an empty stomach, as this can lead to low blood sugar. To learn how much alcohol you can safely include in your diet, consult your doctor.

Fat and Carbs

You can control the amount of carbs you consume by practicing carbohydrate counting. This involves keeping track of the total number of grams of carbs you need to eat at meals or snacks, depending on your medication and exercise. Usually this method involves the use of a carbohydrate counting book, which you can purchase at a supermarket or bookstore.

Those with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk for heart problems, so most physicians make a recommendation to limit fat below 30% of your total daily caloric intake – this tends to be done by eating less fat overall and staying away from saturated fat. You should also pay attention to cholesterol levels by eating smaller amounts of meat, and sticking to lean meats, such as poultry and fish.

It will take some time to adjust to your new diabetes diet and healthy lifestyle, especially if you haven’t followed healthy living practices in the past, but the results will be worth the effort. Not only will you be able to better manage your diabetes, but you will also become a much healthier person.

Diabetes Is Becoming Epidemic

With obesity levels being at an all time high, the epidemic
of type 2 diabetes is growing at an alarming rate, and will
only get worse.


Between 2001 and 2002, the diagnosis of diabetes went from
5.5 percent of Americans to an alarming 6.5 percent. In
just one year!

Overall, twelve million Americans have been diagnosed and
another 5 million Americans have diabetes and don’t know
it. And yet another 12 millions are on their way to type 2
diabetes because of impaired glucose levels.

Not knowing is the worst because risks of untreated
diabetes puts us at a terrible risk of complications
including but not limited to blindness, amputations and
ultimately death.

The stickler is, that type 2 diabetes is almost completely
preventable. Doctor’s say eat less, eat better and
exercise. The numbers show just how many Americans are
currently overweight.

Statistically, people are now living longer, and it has
been on the rise for years. But this will not continue if
type 2 diabetes is not put under control.

We are a gluttonous society and ultimately it is affecting
how we live and how long we live.

And unfortunately, the diabetes epidemic is not just a US
problem. It is spreading worldwide with epidemic reports in
Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.

It is estimated that by 2025, the number of diabetics
worldwide will rise to 380 million. And diabetes is now
affecting more of the young and middle-aged population in
developing countries between the ages of 40 and 59.

Diabetes And Children

Diabetes in children is also known as juvenile diabetes,
but more commonly known as type 1 diabetes. It is the most
common form of diabetes in children with ninety to
ninety-five percent of carriers being under 16.


Juvenile diabetes is caused by the inability of the
pancreas to produce insulin. It is an autoimmune disease,
which means the bodies own defense system attacks the
body’s tissues or organs.

In the last 30 years the number of juvenile diabetes had
increased three times over and in Europe and the US we are
now seeing type 2 diabetes in children for the first time.

Obesity easily explains type 2, but not why there is such a
rise in type 1 diabetes in children. It is believed that a
mixture of genetics and environmental factors are what
triggers juvenile diabetes. But the majority of children
don’t have a family history of diabetes.

The symptoms for juvenile diabetes are the same as in
adults. Thirst, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination is
typical, but diabetes in children can also increase stomach
pains, headaches and behavior problems.

Doctors should consider the possibility of diabetes in
children who have unexplained stomach pains for a few
weeks, along with the typical symptoms.

If you believe your child may be experiencing these
symptoms you should schedule them for a thorough
examination and tell your doctor what you suspect your
child may have. Be sure to tell them about any and all
symptoms your child may be experiencing.

Your Pets Have Diabetes?

It is not only the human kind that can develop diabetes.
Even our beloved pets, no matter how well we care for them,
can develop diabetes.


This is often a scary situation for the pet owner and the
first question that is usually asked of the veterinarian is
-will my pet need to be put to sleep-

Of course this is a difficult issue and the answer may vary
on the overall age and health of your pet.

Many older pets that are diagnosed with diabetes go on to
live many more happy years, but this takes commitment and
close care of your pet.

Diabetic cats and dogs can live just as long as perfectly
healthy pet if the diabetes is diagnosed and treated
properly by both the veterinarian and the owner.

This takes great commitment from the owner. Pets must be
cared for and watched daily with a high level of care and
patience.

There can be no feeding the cat and forgetting until the
next day. There is no leaving the pet along to go on a
trip. Every day your pet will need medication, fed a proper
diet and his behavior will need to be monitored closely.

This doesn’t mean you will have to give up your job and
stay home full time with your pet, but it does mean you
will have to pay more attention to what his behavior is and
know what to do if the situation should change.

It is also more of a financial obligation to have a sick
pet. So it is something that should be discussed in length
with your vet.

Diabetes Management

As of 2007, there is no cure for either type 1 or type 2
diabetes. This may seem like a dim outlook for many people,
but the fact is that even though there is no cure, there
certainly are ways to manage your diabetes.


Proper management can give you many years of healthy
living.

Diabetes management starts with a visit to your doctor.
first, finding out you have diabetes, what type you have
then arming yourself with as much information as possible
about the diabetes you are diagnosed with.

All management begins with controlling the glucose cycle.

The glucose cycle is affected by two factors, entry of
glucose into the bloodstream and blood levels of insulin to
control the transport out.

Your glucose levels are very sensitive to both diet and
exercise, so change in either should first be discussed
with your physician. Proper management of diabetes can be
very intrusive to the patient.

Proper management requires a complete lifestyle change and
frequent, sometimes multi-daily checks of glucose in the
blood.

It can change as people grow and develop and no two cases
are ever really the same. Today it is easier to measure the
blood sugar level.

Glucose meters are readily available and are quite easy to
use with a little practice and patience.

With a small drop of blood to the testing strip attached to
the glucose meter, the user is given the number, which
represents their blood sugar level. This in turn will let
the user know if and when insulin is needed.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Mellitus is also simply known as diabetes. It is
the disease characterized by a malfunctioning metabolism
and a high blood sugar level.


The result can be low levels of insulin or abnormal insulin
resistance. This mixed with inadequate levels of insulin
secretion results in diabetes.

Symptoms of diabetes mellitus include increased urine
production, excessive thirst, extreme fatigue, and
excessive thirst and weight loss. These symptoms though may
not be present in those people with only mildly elevated
sugar levels.

Diabetes mellitus includes type 1, type 2 and gestational
diabetes, which occur only during pregnancy. Each type has
a different cause and different severity of symptoms.

But all forms of diabetes are dangerous if not treated.
With proper management though, people with diabetes can
live a long, healthy, normal life.

The main cause of type 1 diabetes mellitus is the loss of
insulin producing cells in the pancreas. This ultimately
leads to an insulin deficiency.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is typically found in children and
young adults. It is also termed juvenile diabetes. The
common treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus is daily
insulin injections to replace the insulin the body is not
producing properly, along with careful blood glucose
monitoring.

Without careful monitoring and treatment, complications
from diabetes could include loss of limps such as arms,
legs and feet, blindness and diabetic comas, which can be
fatal.

It is extremely important that if you suspect you or your
child to have symptoms of diabetes, that you visit your
doctor to be tested. If the tests are positive it is not
the end of the world. With careful monitoring and care,
type 1 diabetics can live long healthy lives.

Symptoms Of Diabetes

All too often we get sick but ignore the symptoms we may be
feeling, shrugging them off to a cold, stress from work, or
just not feeling well.


There are certain symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored if
they develop. These symptoms could lead to blindness,
amputation of limbs, coma or even death.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often come on suddenly and are
severely dramatic. The extra stress of diabetes can lead to
something called diabetic ketoacidosis.

Symptoms of ketoacidosis may include nausea and vomiting,
which may also lead to dehydration and serious problems
with the blood levels of potassium. This could lead to a
diabetic coma and ultimately death.

Other symptoms of diabetes may include extreme fatigue. We
all get tired at times, but diabetes triggers a more severe
fatigue than normal.

People with diabetes also experience unexplained weight
loss. This is because they are unable to process many of
the calories they consume. Losing sugar and water in the
urine also contributes to the weight loss.

Extreme thirst is another symptom of diabetes. Diabetes
develops high blood sugar levels and the body tries to
compensate by diluting the blood, which translates to our
brain that we are thirsty.

With this is also excessive urination. It is another way
our bodies have of getting rid of the extra sugar in our
system. But this can also lead to dehydration.

One of the hardest symptoms to deal with is poor wound
healing. Wounds heal slowly, if at all when the carrier has
diabetes. This along with infections that are not easily
remedied can attribute to ulcers and loss of limbs.

What is Diabetes

Diabetes is a growing problem in this country. With our
population at an all time high in weight gain and a low in
health care, the problem is only growing.


Diabetes is a disease of the metabolism. Our metabolism is
what the way our bodies use digested food for energy and
growth.

Most food that is processed through our bodies is broken
down by digestive juices into a sugar called glucose.
Glucose is the fuel our bodies run on.

When we eat, and our food is processed, the pancreas is
supposed to produce the right amount of glucose from our
blood automatically and release the right amount of insulin
into our blood.

In people with diabetes, little to no insulin is produced
or the body’s cells don’t respond correctly to the insulin
that is produced. Therefore the glucose builds up and
overflows into the urine and passes out of the body.

This is how the body loses its main source of fuel even
though the bloodstream contains good amounts of the natural
glucose.

There are three types of diabetes, type 1, type 2 and
gestational diabetes. People who have type 1 are known as
insulin-dependent.

This is an autoimmune disease where the body’s natural
system is fighting against another part of the body. In the
case of type 1 diabetes, the system attacks the insulin
producing cells and destroys them.

Therefore the pancreas can produce little to no insulin.
These people are in need of daily injections of insulin to
live. Five to ten percent of diabetes cases are type 1 in
the US.

Women, Diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: How Exercise Can Help

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is often a contributing factor to the development of type 2 diabetes in women. Learn how exercise can help to alleviate the symptoms of PCOS, as well as reduce the risk of diabetes.

Diabetes - Some Helpful Facts

Firstly, what is Diabetes Mellitus (mostly referred to as just Diabetes)?
Diabetes is a metabolic condition where the body is unable to automatically regulate blood glucose levels, resulting in excessively high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Put into simple terms, diabetes is a condition in which your body cannot handle the sugar in food.

Diabetes is something we unfortunately hear about often these days. It is no longer just a condition of the elderly as we are seeing dramatic increases in the number of young people being affected by diabetes. Diabetes is a serious disease and should not be ignored, it is a complex health problem and a national challenge. Diabetes is a life-long, chronic disease that affects as many as 16 million Americans. It is also the number one cause of acquired blindness.

Diabetes is often described as type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. Out of these, type 2 diabetes is the most common form, accounting for around 90%-95% of all cases. This type of diabetes is strongly associated with being overweight and obesity, family history also plays a part. This type of diabetes is also referred to as adult-onset or maturity-onset diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is typically recognized in childhood or adolescence, and is marked by a total or near-total lack of insulin. Type 1 diabetes is also often referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes. Gestational diabetes is common, and is a type of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy, usually between the 24th and 28th week.

Pre-diabetes is potentially the early stage of diabetes, where glucose (sugar) levels in the blood become disturbed, and are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.The best way to diagnose pre-diabetes is by a blood test; a fasting blood sugar (FBS), or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). If pre-diabetes is not controlled, it may well progress to diabetes.

Managing Diabetes is quite straight forward, even though there is no actual cure. It is becoming growing health problem, with type 2 diabetes now being diagnosed in larger numbers of children and teenagers. People with type 2 diabetes, often completely misunderstand, or simply ignore the crucial moment when blood sugar tests reveal that diabetes is progressing. The good news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable, as it is often linked to obesity.

Sometimes people have symptoms but they do not suspect diabetes. The early symptoms of untreated diabetes mellitus are related to the increased blood glucose levels. However, the symptoms of diabetes may not appear until blood glucose levels are above approximately 15mmol/l or higher. Symptoms can also be so mild that you might not even notice them. The symptoms of diabetes vary from person to person, and can be subtle.

Without treatment, the main symptoms of diabetes are unusual thirst, excessive amounts of urine, tiredness, and weight loss and muscle wasting. Symptoms may come and go. Symptoms partly depend on the type of diabetes a person has and how long it has been untreated. The first step in either preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes is to recognize the risk factors, as well as signs and symptoms of diabetes. If you think you have the symptoms of diabetes it is very important to seek advice from your physician.

Why Your Body Needs Sugar

Even though in diabetes, and especially in type 2 diabetics, the level of blood sugar usually reaches higher than required ranges that we can see in a healthy person, the body still needs its sugar to work. Sugar or in medical terms glucose has a vital role of a source of body energy. Human body is not able to produce glucose itself and therefore the body cells are dependent on its supplies to survive.

Glucose is supplied into the body from the diet we consume, where it is usually present in the form of complex carbohydrates or simple sugars and is digested by enzymes and transported into the blood stream in the form of a simple compound of glucose. Once in the blood stream glucose is transported throughout the body and carried towards the cells that need it. However glucose can only enter the cell through the glucose gates, which have to be open. Insulin acts as a key for these glucose gates and has the ability to open glucose gates and thus allowing glucose to enter into the cell.

Therefore after each meal the level of blood glucose rises as the glucose is transported from the food into the blood stream, and the cells can be supplied by adequate amounts of energy. However, in the emergency situations, when the body needs immediate supply of glucose, such as during exercise, or increased physical and/or mental activity; or during prolonged periods of fasting, the body utilizes glucose from its stores in liver and muscles, where glucose that was supplied from the diet but was not used by the cells, is stored in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is a complex compound of glucose molecules. The process of converting the glycogen into glucose is called gluconeogenesis, which can be translated as making new glucose. Therefore, the body is always prepared for emergency situations.

From the above you can see how crucial glucose is for the human body, and its organs that are dependent on glucose supplies. Probably the most vital is the brain, where it is absolutely necessary that the brain cells have always enough glucose to function and survive, because all the major and vital functions of the body are directed by the brain. If for some reason the brain glucose requirements are not met, the function of the brain will be affected and with it the rest of the body.

In diabetics the levels of high blood sugar therefore does not necessarily mean that the cells are getting adequate supply of the glucose due to either absence of insulin (in type 1 diabetes) or lower insulin production or insulin resistance (in type 2 diabetes). The insulin acts as an opening key to the glucose gates enabling glucose to enter the cell.

Can Diabetics Have "Fast Food"? 5 Tips For Eating "Fast Food" Occasionally

While it can be hard to admit, as diabetics, we know that fast food is not the best thing for us to go. But we do live in a fast going world and we are constantly surrounded by fast food restaurants. Who hasn't had the kids or grandkids in the car spotting every fast food place on the road? and whining they want to go there.

While the golden arches, etc. may be tempting, it is best to pass them by as often as possible. However, there are always times we have to do what we have to do. If you are out and absolutely must have something quick and you find yourself only in "fast food alley", don't despair. Or perhaps you just have to give in to the little ones and go for it. Fast food is an option when ordered properly. Here are some tips to help you make good decisions once you step into that bastion of greasy fried food.

1. Be sure to order the small sizes. Forget the "super size value" the cashier will tempt you with. Remember it is not a "value" if you shouldn't have it.

2. Avoid the deep fried foods. You know you shouldn't have them so forget it! No french fries for you; order a small side salad instead. And go easy on the dressing. A drizzle won't hurt you. The whole package will!

3. When ordering your sandwich, go for the grilled chicken or the smallest size burger. Then you need to stick with this important step; ask that your sandwich be made without the dressing and mayo based sauces. If you want something on your sandwich, ask for mustard, catsup, lettuce, tomato, pickle and/or onion. If you get the small burger, break off the excess bun. Many times the burger is almost lost in a big bun. You know you shouldn't have that extra bread! Or you could remove the top of the bun, eliminating over half of the bread.

4. Drink water or unsweetened tea. Yes, you can have that diet drink if you really must. However, water is best for you with the unsweetened tea following in a close second.

5. Skip dessert. You really don't need a fried pie or cookies, etc. If you really must partake of dessert, go for a fruit and yogurt parfait or a simple small ice cream cone.

As you can see, it really is possible to do fast food once in awhile without feeling guilty. Just make it a rare occasion. As diabetics, we simply cannot afford to be visiting "fast food joints" on a regular basis.

10 Food products That Can Help With Diabetes

Once you discover that you or a person you love is diabetic it's a life deepening moment. Keeping blood glucose under control is crucial to maintaining diabetes in restraint. Among the most significant facets to keeping your sugar under control is creating smart food selections. As you prefer to be sure that you are getting a decent balance of fruits and vegetables in addition to proteins. There are certain foods that you are able to add up to your diet that will assist you to keep diabetes under control. To assist you, here are ten great nutrients that will help you to keep your diabetes in control.

Two of the better fruits: Apples and Pomegranates.

Diabetics are usually told not to consume any white products. Nevertheless, one exception is apples. They can help reduce the body’s call for insulin and they've a lot of pectin, which helps the body to detoxicate. This makes apples an particularly beneficial product for diabetics.

Pomegranates are very popular in the Middle East, and they've been getting a lot of attention here in the states lately. Part of that attention is owed to the fact that research workers have discovered that the sugar in the Pomegranates doesn't affect the blood glucose. A different profit detected in the analyse is that diabetics who drank 6oz of pomegranate juice a day for 3 months lessened their risk for coronary artery disease.

A few spices: Cinnamon and Garlic.

Cinnamon is a different diabetic wonder nutrient. This spicery holds MHCP which gives fat cells fresh life, assisting them respond to insulin and help eliminate the glucose in the blood.

Garlic is also very helpful for diabetics. This product can help keep diabetes in restraint by bringing down blood sugar levels.

Most beneficial breakfast product: Oatmeal.

Yes, oatmeal is a saccharide but it is among the finest carbs you are able to eat, as long as you don’t get the sugared variety. Oatmeal is high in fiber and it's slower to digest so it doesn’t elevate blood sugar levels and it works better at holding the blood glucose level constant over time.

The best vegetables: Green beans, Spinach and Broccoli.

These three veggies all hold lots of fibers and are low in carbohydrates. They're therefore very good options for diabetics. It’s fine to have potatoes, peas and corn from time to time, but these vegetables are stiff, which means they've many carbohydrates. You should consume them sparingly, while loading up on green leafy vegetables.

The must have in a diabetic diet: Proteins.

When you're a diabetic you should make certain that your diet is at the least 12% protein and no more then 20% protein. You should also make sure that you if you're having a bedtime snack you make sure it is a protein so that your blood sugar level stays consistent through the night.

Choose for lean protein sources such as fish, poultry, nuts, soy and lentils. These are the optimal sources of protein.

These are ten nutrients which every diabetic should integrate into their diet. These products all aid in keeping blood glucose levels in restraint; which means you’ll need less medicine – and you will be reducing the risk for many of the health problems which generally come with diabetes.

Does your doctor recommend natural remedies for diabetes?

Truth is your doctor doesn't know about this remedy because most of them simply don't have time to keep up on natural solutions. In fact only about 20% of universities even teach classes on nutrition, they simply can't tell you what they do not know.

But even if they did know . . . from a business perspective it's just not in their best interest to tell you. Prescription drugs and performing surgery is the lifeblood of their profession. They only earn money if you accept traditional medical treatments. They depend on your returning as a customer over and over . . .


Just words won't convey how happy I am that I can offer you "The Diabetes Reversal Report" . . .
