    @lwhittaker you could cuz all of those symptons are red flags except for the gainging weight part most people will loose wight because blood glucose is not being administered correctly through out your body so the reason why people loose weight is because of their body is eating its own fat and muscle tissue

    Gabriel Cousens “There is a cure for diabetes” read it, or take a pill that cures nothing for the rest of your life.

    @whorethrower Stop Blaming your self or letting others blame you,the FDA knew MSG tigers hypo Insulimia, it wears out your pancreas, and cause you to be addicted to the food, then obesity , fast food is loaded with with MSG, KFC is the worst offender.And Labs have been injecting MSG in to baby mice to trigger Diabetes, so they can study treatments (not cures) for humans, Since the early 80′s, they know it causes it, but it’s not regulated, that is what is causing the Diabetes Epidemic !!!!

    Why do we call it ‘hidden’ epidemic?

  7. analez30 says:

    @themachman19691 no, I don’t have diabetes. You may be right, I don’t know an awful lot of diabetes. What I said previously is well related to the explosion of diabetes in children, do you know anything about it? I know the cause is vaccines, as I explained. Said that, I don’t know the diabetes classification

  8. themachman19691 says:

    @kazzenegger what shite are you talking?type 2 diabetes is age or weight related.have you got diabetes?

  9. kazzenegger says:

    you guys wake up, diabete is mostly the work of VACCINES: they cause autoimmune problem, (in fact they cause plenty of allergies), and in case of diabetes it’s the pancreas that’s being attacked, it no longer makes insuline and there you get your beautiful diabetes!!!! Think, think….

    my grand grandfather on my moms side is the only known diabetic in the family tree and i have type 1. so i’d say, there’s always a chance if you have someone in your family tree that have had.

    Huge thanks for the advice. I’m diabetic, and you’ve explained things better than anyone I’ve spoken to so far about it. Good advice about the diet aspect, though I was told that more veg than fruit was the way to go. Thanks again, another informative, clearly stated video. Keep up the good work.
