Researchers are beginning to understand the ways in which being overweight or obese contributes to a downward spiral of inflammation that can trigger heart disease, diabetes and other ailments.
When My Doctor Explained To Me I Had Diabetes, this is how I heard him...
Your chart and blood test results show some very disturbing and frightening news...
You are morbidly obese; you have high blood pressure; you have type 2 diabetes; you have a chronic kidney disease; you’re ready for a stroke; you’re developing heart disease; and, if you live long enough… you will end up with incurable cancer.
He definitely had my attention. From that point on I knew if I did not listen to every word and do everything I was told to do (from the nurses, doctors, and the American Diabetes Association) I was a goner for sure…as in dead.
However, it took me two years after meeting with the doctor to figure out that the prescribed medicine and recommended diet I had been given was dead wrong. It really was not my fault (I know that sounds like a narcissistic statement); but when I discovered this, within a short time I cured myself.

In my case, the doctor said I had full-blown diabetes, he put me in the hospital as a patient, and told me it was time to put my things in order because my life will not be pleasant for the short time I had left on this earth.
That was my wake up call. I had no other options that would keep me alive except to eat right, exercise, and lose weight, if it was't too late.
There is a lot of good and bad information out there, and the way I learned what was real and worked was by verifying what I did with blood tests.
Blood tests don’t lie and between the hospital tests and my daily tests to monitor my blood sugar or glucose count, I was able to stay on the path to wellness.
Sincerely,

Diabetes Complications with Coronary Heart Disease
People with diabetes are at a greatly increased risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). Over a 20-year period, women with diabetes were more than threefold as likely to die from CHD as were women without diabetes. Similar data exist for men. Several established risk factors for CHD appear to be favorably affected by the consumption of soy foods.

Child Pre-Diabetes and Obesity Risks Death At Early Age Found In Study...
A recent and rare study tracked thousands of children through adulthood found that the heaviest youngsters were more than twice as likely as the thinnest to die before age 55 from illness or a self-inflicted injury.
Pre-diabetes with youngsters were at almost double the risk of dying before 55, and those with high blood pressure were at some increased risk, also. But obesity was the factor that most closely associated with an early death, researchers said.
