herb for diabetes help
What other kind of diabetes is there?
Don't you think if there was a simple herbal cure doctors would be prescribing it? There is no substitute for insulin and you will need get past your denial and wishful thinking and accept that fact. You will need to take insulin for the rest of your life and there is no way around it. "SDYANG" wrote in message .uk...

Yeah sure and Jack Ruby was a patriot.
They used to say the earth was flat. You really must be Jonesing since X-files went off the air. All you have left are the precious reruns for you to obsess over. Your paranoid conspiracy theories and anecdotal unsubstantiated studies are no help to someone that needs proper medical attention for their serious health problem. BTW, are you a doctor or do you just pretend to be one on the Internet? M. Tiefert wrote in message y.com... In article , "Cereoid-UR12" wrote: What other kind of diabetes is there?

: What other kind of diabetes is there? From Microsoft bookshelf (American Heritage Dictionary) Diabetes (dě´e-bę´tîs, -tęz) noun Any of several metabolic disorders marked by excessive discharge of urine and persistent thirst, especially one of the two types of diabetes mellitus. [Middle English diabete, from Medieval Latin diabętęs, from Latin, from Greek, siphon, diabetes, from diabainein, to cross over, straddle : dia-, dia- + bainein, to go.] Word History: Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms. The disease was known to the Greeks as diabętęs, a word derived from the verb diabainein, made up of the prefix dia-, "across, apart," and the word bainein, "to walk, stand." The verb diabeinein meant "to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder"; hence, its derivative diabętęs meant "one that straddles," or specifically "a compass, siphon." The sense "siphon" gave rise to the use of diabętęs as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the form diabete, in a medical text written around 1425.

m: What other kind of diabetes is there? "Sugar" diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is of two types. In Type I, the pancreas is unable to produce insulin, so the only way the person can survive is to inject insulin. The other, Type II, is caused by the cells of the body developing resistance to taking up insulin. This can sometimes be managed by losing weight, a careful diet, several different types of drugs which stimulate insulin secretion or lower blood sugar, or by injecting insulin. Many plants are known to have compounds that lower blood sugar, but like any herbal remedy, the amount of active component varies widely depending on how the plant was grown, harvested, stored, weather conditions, genetic factors in the plant, etc. So while these plants are useful for identifying and developing new drugs, it would be dangerous to depend on them if modern medical care is available. There's also another disease, diabetes insipidus, in which the kidneys don't concentrate urine effectively for a variety of reasons, often because of problems with the hypothalamus in the brain which is the source of ADH (anti-diuretic hormone). This condition is unrelated to diabetes mellitus - the only symptoms in common are polydipsia (urge to drink lots of water) caused by polyuria (production of a lot of urine). Back to the plant kingdom... |

Why not cite your references so we all know you are not just making it all
up? You are the one who went out on a limb with your outrageous claims so you are the one responsible to provide the proof. The was trying to find an excuse for not seeking proper medical attention and are obviously still in denial over the severity of their situation. You know nothing of their condition and your encouraging them to do the wrong thing is extremely irresponsible. M. Tiefert wrote in message m...
