Has it occurred to anyone about the recent climb in Diabetes in America is......?

that people are rushing to use these new Joint repairing supplements and that Glucosamine Chondroitin is a chief culprit that actually raises blood sugar because of the fact that glucose is a primary ingredient in this supplement? Why aren't the drug companies being honest with consumers and letting them know this?

    Glucose is a chemical component of Glucosamine, but it has been shown to have no effect on glucose intolerance. Besides, the supplement industry is largely unregulated...they can make pretty much whatever claims they want. There needs to be greater study of all supplements.

    I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

    Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

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

    Why aren't the drug companies being honest? Because Glucosamine is NOT a cause of diabetes. That supplement has not been on the market long enough to account for any increase in diabetes in the states,and certainly is not used in any great amount among all the age groups of diabetics.

    Jumping on the bandwagon of bogus causes and cures is dumb (because you have not researched the information) and dangerous (because you could cause harm to others by spreading misinformation).

    Diabetics can eat anything a non-diabetic can eat. You just have to make an adjustment for carbs/sugars. Learn here https://tr.im/XJDwb

    It is better for diabetics to eat slow burning carbs: potatoes, peanut butter, vegetables, breads, dairy products, etc. VS. fast burning carbs: candy, sugared soda, cakes, ice cream, anything high in sugar. Just know what your carb/insulin ratios (how much insulin you have to give yourself for the amount of carbs you are intaking) are. Adjust according to the amount of carbs(sugars) you are intaking. And, you should be fine. Natural sugars are better than processed sugars.

    Glucosamine is NOT glucose, the people that use it are primarily older americans and the rise in diabetes is primarily amoung the younger generation... you are skewing facts here and misrepresenting cause and effect... get your facts straight before you blurt out such garbage.

    Look at the american lifestyle...

    High stress ( longer work hrs)....poor diet ( fast food , high in fat, sugar, salt)

    Not enough excercise ( no time or too lazy or too overworked)

    High stress + poor diet = Overweight

    solution .............. move to Maui or Kaui
