Six Myths About Diabetes
 You are about to
discover a scientifically proven nutritional supplement that
boosts your immune system and gets your diabetes under
control.
But before we get too far along, let's dispel with some
"myths" about diabetes.
1. If You Have Diabetes You Will Always Be Sick
No.
Diabetics can lead ordinary, healthy and productive lives.
2. If it is in your family, you will get it too.
No.
Studies have shown that there is a genetic predisposition
for diabetes, so if it runs in the family, it should be
taken as a sign that individuals may have an increased risk
for developing the disease.
However, a risk does not necessarily mean that individuals
are bound to end up with the disease. There are many
preventative measures that can be taken in order to decrease
risk, such as exercise, healthy diet, and weight
conciseness.
3. You can catch diabetes from someone else.
No.
Although we don't know exactly why some people get diabetes,
we know that diabetes is not contagious. It can't be caught
like a cold or flu. There seems to be some genetic link in
diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes. But environmental
factors also play a part.
4. Eating too much sugar causes diabetes.
No. Diabetes
is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental
factors. However, being overweight does increase your risk
of developing Type 2 diabetes, so if you have a history of
diabetes in your family, a healthy diet and regular exercise
are recommended to control your weight.
5. People with diabetes can't eat sweets or chocolate.
No. You can have some sugar, but choose wisely. Sweets are
no more out of bounds to people with diabetes than they are
to the rest of us, if eaten as part of a healthy diet, or
combined with exercise. People who take certain tablets or
insulin to treat their diabetes may sometimes need to eat
high-sugar foods to prevent their blood glucose levels
falling too low.
