Prediabetes-19% or 59 million + 18 million have diabetes = 83 million 27% either prediabetes or diabetes (pancreas and liver imbalance)-this heals!
Data from the 2007 National Diabetes Fact Sheet
Total: 23.6 million children and adults in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes.
Diagnosed: 17.9 million people
Undiagnosed: 5.7 million people
Pre-diabetes: 57 million people
New Cases: 1.6 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in people aged 20 years and older each year.
One out of every 4 Americans or 25% has either diabetes or prediabetes
In the past decade, the incidence among people in their 30s has jumped by 70 percent
40 percent of people ages 40 to 74 are pre-diabetic, explained Dr. Frank Vinicor, diabetes chief for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Once the body loses its ability to control blood sugar levels, the harm spreads everywhere from your eyes to your feet. “Diabetes effects the total body because blood sugar goes everywhere in the body,” says the CDC’s Frank Vinicor.
World faces a “devastating” diabetes epidemic-World Health Organization
The number of people who have pre-diabetes has more than doubled since two years ago.
For decades, experts have worried that too much sugar damages small blood vessels, leading to blindness, kidney failure, and amputations. But now the spotlight is shifting.
“Small-vessel problems that affect the kidney, eyes, and nervous system are devastating,” says Vinicor. “But large-vessel problems like heart attacks and strokes are far and away the most common lethal complications of diabetes. Sixty percent of diabetics die of a heart attack and 20 percent die of a stroke.”
Warning Signs
Type 1 diabetes: Frequent urination, unusual thirst, extreme hunger, unusual weight loss, extreme fatigue, irritability
Type 2 diabetes: Any of the type 1 symptoms frequent infections, blurred vision, cuts or bruises, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet, recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections
Note: People with type 2 diabetes often have no symptoms

Increased Cancer Risk of People with Type 2 Diabetes,
Diabetics have a higher rate of cancer than people who are not affected by this metabolic disorder.
The largest study ever on cancer risks of people with type 2 diabetes. The study included 125,126 Swedish citizens who had been hospitalized
The researchers discovered that people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing 24 of the types of cancer studied. The most significant risk elevation was established for pancreatic and liver cell cancers. The rate of these cancers in people with type 2 diabetes is elevated by factor six and 4.25 respectively compared to the general population. The epidemiologists also found the risk of cancers of the kidneys, thyroid, esophagus, small intestine and nervous system to be more than twice as high.
RISK FACTORS FOR PRE-DIABETES
There are a number of risk factors which significantly increase the likelihood of the onset of Pre-Diabetes. These are:
- a family history of Type 2 Diabetes or heart disease
- Darkened areas of skin, a condition called acanthosis nigricans, is one of the few signs of prediabetes. Common areas that may be affected include the neck, armpits, elbows, knees and knuckles.
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- being overweight or obese
- being aged 45 or older
- suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure)
- belonging to a high-risk ethnic group, namely African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos or Pacific Islanders
- being “apple-shaped” rather than “pear-shaped,” meaning that excess weight gathers around your waist, rather than your hips
- suffering from Gestational Diabetes while pregnant or giving birth to a baby weighing more than 9 lbs
- sleep and average of 5.5 hours or less
- eating an excess amount of carbohydrates
- leading a sedentary lifestyle with little or no exercise
- being recently diagnosed as suffering from Insulin Resistance
- Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X),
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) – a major cause of menstrual irregularity and female infertility, as well as skin conditions like acne, excess body and facial hair and female baldness
If not resolved diabetes ends up leading to many other diseases:
- Cancer- 2-6X more chances
- Neurological disease- Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Neuropathies
- Stroke
- Kidney disease – diabetes is the number one reason for kidney failure and dialysis
- Autoimmune disease
- Thyroid disease
- Gastrointestinal disease
- Adrenal disease
- Blindness
- Amputations
- Gum disease
- Respiratory disease
- Asthma/respiratory problems and childhood asthma has a definite link to sugar and carbohydrate maldigestion and sugar sensitivity.
- Hearing loss/Meniere’s syndrome
Symptoms of Diabetes
The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Diabetes includes the 64 symptoms listed below:
- No early symptoms – many people have Type 2 diabetes without knowing it
- Early mild symptoms- from moderate blood sugars (which are still dangerous and lead to serious complications):
- Abscess
- Skin rashes
- Skin infections
- Athlete’s foot
- Poor skin healing
- Urinary tract infections
- Candida
- Thrush
- Dry itchy skin
- Flaky skin
- Skin ulcers
- Skin boils
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Paresthesias
- Foot tingling
- Foot numbness
- Hand tingling
- Hand numbness
- Blurred vision
- Sexual problems
- Erectile failure
- Unusual vaginal dryness
- Premature menopause
- Absent periods
- Poor healing – any type of difficulty healing of minor infections, injury or after surgery.
- Weight loss
- Weight gain
- Drowsiness
- Malaise
- Later more extreme symptoms when blood sugars get higher:

Major Cause of Diabetes is maldigestion
Signs of Not Digesting Carbohydrates
- Crave sugar
- Dry everything; eyes, nose, mouth even when you drink water.
- Respiratory problems-asthma
- Muscle weakness
- Cannot think clearly or concentrate
- Person may startle easily
- Difficulty swallowing
- Voice changes when under stress
Signs of Not Digesting Proteins
- Crave protein
- Cold hands and/or feet
- Do not like to exercise – stay sore
- Heal slowly
- Gums bleed
- Weakened immune system
- Increased body secretions – edema, perspiration, salivation, tears
- Menstrual problems
Signs of Not Digesting Fats
- Crave fats, oils
- Dry skin
- Respiratory problems – asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, COPD
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Tremors
- Most important:PAIN, NUMBNESS, TINGLING, BURNING, WEAKNESS
Pancreas #1 function is to digest your food, #2 is to balance blood sugar
Pancreas (hormonal-Endocrine) low blood sugar symptoms:
- Dizziness when standing suddenly
- Sugar cravings
- Headaches that are relieved when sugar or alcohol are consumed
- Shakiness, jitteriness
- You wake up craving sweets in the night
- Tired, weak or shaky feeling if you miss a meal.

- Feeling faint
- Poor concentration
High blood sugar symptoms:
- Night sweats
- Very thirsty, wake up during the night to drink water
- Fatigued in general
- Crave sweets but even when you eat them your symptoms don’t improve Increased healing time
Next stop is pancreatitis, diabetes, pancreatic cancer
The liver is your primary blood sugar balancing organ. It works in harmony with the pancreas. We have never seen a person with diabetes without a liver imbalance long before the pancreas imbalance.
Liver/Gallbladder
- High cholesterol
- Varicose veins
- Intolerance to oily, greasy, fatty food
- Headaches after eating
- Foul-smelling stool
- Not having one bowel movement for each meal
- Constipation
- Sour taste in mouth
- Green-, black-, and/or white-coated tongue
- Grey-colored skin
- Yellow in whites of the eyes

- Painful bowel movements
- Big toe pain
- Pain radiating down leg
The answer to diabetes and all symptoms, conditions and diseases is rate your level of health and chart its improvement until you not only feel great but know that you are great on all testing and analysis- this is when total health has taken root and cannot be lost.
Do you understand yet how it works? You must balance all systems, all interconnections between systems and live all of the 7 basic steps to become and stay healthy in body, mind and spirit.
- Nervous system- brain, brainstem, spinal cord, spinal nerves
- Immune system
- Hormonal system-pituitary, thyroid, thymus, pancreas, adrenals, m/f
- Respiratory system- taking oxygen into the body
- Vascular system- blood supply to each organ and gland
- Digestive system
- Elimination system
- Reproductive system
- Structural system
- Biochemical system
- Mental/emotional state
- Spiritual state
Always remember to heal you must address the 10systems & 2 states.
