Diabetes

Diabetes is a degenerative disease affecting some 230,000 New Zealand people today.


Are you looking for a way to manage your diabetes symptoms and reduce the degenerative effects of diabetes on your body?

When you are diagnosed with diabetes it can seem like a life sentence. Both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are conditions that can have many contributing factors and a variety of symptoms.

Type 1 diabetes often starts during childhood, though not always, and can mean a lifetime of testing blood for blood sugar levels and regular injections of insulin to manage sugar metabolism. Without meticulous management the victim of diabetes type 1 may suffer blackouts, coma and kidney failure.

Type 2 diabetes is more commonly associated with obesity and a high carbohydrate diet. Symptoms may include excessive thirst, low energy late morning or mid-afternoon and a craving for sweet foods. If caught early enough symptoms can be totally controlled through a low-carbohydrate diet.

Correct medical diagnosis must be obtained if you think you have diabetes. For anyone who has been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 or type 2 and who wishes to manage or control the disease as naturally as possible, it is essential to become fully informed. A qualified nutrition coach will be able to advise you on a low-carbohydrate diet, quality natural health products and a muscle-building exercise programme that will ensure an improved quality of life for sufferers of diabetes.
