diabetes - the silent killer

Dr. Oz says the symptoms for both types of diabetes are straightforward:

Constant thirst and frequent urination: 
These are the first things doctors will ask you about. "You have [constant thirst] because you're urinating all the time," he says. "The sugar gets into your urine, and it actually drags it through your kidneys. It fools your kidneys."

Non-healing infections:
"The white blood cells that protect the immune system can't get there," he says. "And by the way, your white cells don't function normally. Your whole immune system's depressed because you're waging a constant civil war against your body, which has the sugar scraping away on the inside."

Tingling toes:
"Nerves have a cable around them," Dr. Oz says. "That cable gets broken with diabetes, so you end up with short circuits of your nerve system."

Blurred vision: 
"You're having little bleeds in the back of your eye," he says.

Sounds absolutely nasty - i hope and pray that those who have it will recover, those who is yet to discover it - will be blessed with a prevention or cure, and those who are ignorant like me will take heed and be far from it. ; /


THE GOOD NEWS IS!!! ; )
Cucumber, radish and bitter gourd are beneficial in diabetes.
