As you know I have Type 2 Diabetes and struggle to keep my blood sugar at an acceptable level. So when I see an article about avoiding or controlling diabetes, I want to share it with others like myself. I take my meds regularly and try to avoid sweets but you know that there is plenty of sugar in most foods bought today. So some days my sugar is high, like 220 and other days, like today, it is 129. I’m sure it has something to do with what I consume at dinner time because I always take my sugar count in the morning after a nights sleep and before I eat anything. My biggest problem these days is my overweight and my feet and toes, which are always in pain. Of course, St. Pio said that if we knew the value of pain we would never give it up! Whoa! So I offer it all up!!!

As the leading cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputation, and blindness in developed countries, as well as increasing the likelihood of death from heart disease, diabetes mellitus is a modern-day scourge.

This article focuses on the ways in which you can seek to avoid Type 2 Diabetes, with close attention to changing risky behaviors (obesity, smoking, binging, sugary and fatty diet, ignoring the many symptoms half-expecting them to just go away,…).
