    I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

    I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

    I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

    First, Have you been to see a doctor ? have them check your glucose sugar levels. I have a child that has juvenile diabetes,

    other symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, short of breath are some of the other signs of the condition.

    If that is ruled out for you, watch your salt intake before bedtime. Try to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

    one of the symptoms of dibetes is polydypsia, which means that you would want to drink plenty of water but still feel thirsty after. dou you have a family history of diabetes? does your mother or father or any close relative have this? if yes, you should consult the doctor. you have a large percentage to acquire diabetes if your relatives also have it because diabetes is hereditary. if you are overweight, have a sedentary lifestyle with no exercise...you should start changing your lifestyle to a healthier one.

    First, see if anything else could have caused dry mouth, like eating excessive amounts of salt.

    Next, see your doctor for a complete blood count and a fasting blood sugar test.

    Then, see a diabetologist

    it could be that you are just dehydrated. If plain water did not work try chilled fresh lime juice with sugar and salt suited to your taste. Plain water often is actually what is needed but can cause discomfort and dry mouth.

    Hi,

    Check this site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=549

    IT will give you a different perspective on your diabetes. I don't think you'll be able to reverse your diabetes as they say but it's still an ebook I recommend. It helped me in my fight against the disease.
