Here are some key points about diabetes. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
- Diabetes is a long-term condition that causes high blood sugar levels.
- In 2013 it was estimated that over 382 million people throughout the world had diabetes (Williams textbook of endocrinology).
- Type 1 Diabetes - the body does not produce insulin. Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1.
- Type 2 Diabetes - the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function. Approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are of this type.
- Gestational Diabetes - this type affects females during pregnancy.
- The most common diabetes symptoms include frequent urination, intense thirst and hunger, weight gain, unusual weight loss, fatigue, cuts and bruises that do not heal, male sexual dysfunction, numbness and tingling in hands and feet.
- If you have Type 1 and follow a healthy eating plan, do adequate exercise, and take insulin, you can lead a normal life.
- Type 2 patients need to eat healthily, be physically active, and test their blood glucose. They may also need to take oral medication, and/or insulin to control blood glucose levels.
- As the risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher for a diabetic, it is crucial that blood pressure and cholesterol levels are monitored regularly.
- As smoking might have a serious effect on cardiovascular health, diabetics should stop smoking.
- Hypoglycemia - low blood glucose - can have a bad effect on the patient. Hyperglycemia - when blood glucose is too high - can also have a bad effect on the patient.

MEDICAL NOTES:
In the recent years, more and more people are suffering from diabetes and on top of that diabetes becomes more difficult to manage even with insulin injections and newer prescribed anti-diabetic drugs. Recent studies have shown that toxins deposited in our bodies over the years contribute to this increasing diabetes and difficulty in controlling blood sugar. Diabetic patients on Quantumin plus should continue closely monitoring the blood sugar level and no medications should be discontinued unless the doctor in charge orders reduction or discontinuation of medicines based on patient’s progress. Quantumin plus can be used together with any medication without fear of adverse drug interaction because the fulvic substance even enhances the action of medicines by carrying the drug to the cells where it is needed. It is even possible that in the future, majority of medicines will be infused with fulvic substance because of the tremendous improvement in absorption and overall effect .
