Almost 60 millions of Americans are at high risk for developing diabetes. Why? Because, their bodies cannot handle glucose properly. We call many of these people, pre-diabetics, or borderline diabetics.
If you are one of those 60 million, does that mean you are destined to progress on into diabetes. No, it doesn’t.
There is no current way of medically determining whether anyone with pre-diabetes will progress on into full blown diabetes. The most vulnerable may not be able to stop it.
The final stages of diabetes are grim, like you were chained to a wall, and at the mercy of a sadist who blinds you little by little, or removes limb after limb, or splatters your brains with hypertensive strokes. Well, you say, It’s a long way between having a little problem with blood sugar, and dying a horrible death from a ghoulish disease like diabetes. Not really, if you are one of the susceptible ones.
All the evidence shows that susceptible individuals are on a one way conveyer belt that can only be slowed, but not stopped. Physicians write about, how, despite the patient’s cooperation, and their own vigilance, the disease moves another notch toward the worst outcome.
There is a certain inevitability about this phenomena of steady progression in both worst case scenario or the best.
At the onset of any serious chronic disease, good faith acts put forward to reverse it usually prove highly successful. At this point, if the rest of the body is healthy, it has the strength to aid your aspiration.
Normal stability in a bodily system is usually easily restored if the deviation has not been extreme. It is easier to prevent a big bookcase from tipping over if you catch it when it starts to lean. Once it’s built up momentum – forget it.
Unfortunately laboratory tests indicating you are pre-diabetic do not answer the question of whether you are invariably destined to become diabetic. But, they are a necessary first step if you have any reason at all to suspect you are pre-diabetic, but have not yet confirmed it by a test.
