Diabetes is fast becoming an epidemic in North America. It is a disease involving a problem in the use and/or production of insulin. There are different types of diabetes, some of which are genetic and can’t be prevented, but there are also some that can be developed if one is not careful of their eating and exercise habits. If you have early signs of getting this condition, you should take immediate action to prevent yourself from developing full-blown symptoms. If left untreated, diabetes can cause a myriad of symptoms from cardiovascular disease and nerve damage, to impotence and renal failure. Let’s take a look at some of the early signs of the disease, and how to slow or stop its progress.

The Beginnings of Diabetes

If you notice any of the below symptoms, you should make an appointment with your doctor to get tested for diabetes. It’s in your best interest to catch it early to stop its progression!

  • Having to urinate often
  • Becoming dehydrated more easily
  • Becoming hungry more often
  • Feeling weak and having blurry vision
  • Having a history of diabetes in the family
There may be other symptoms, but if you think you may have any risk at all of developing this disease, you should see your doctor.

Changes to Make In Your Lifestyle

There are two main things that you can do to get your health back on track:
  • Have a balanced diet! Make sure that you are eating from all four food groups. Eat the right amount of servings of each, and don’t over indulge in sweets and treats too often.

  • Exercise! Watching your weight and staying active will decrease your chances of developing this condition.

Healthy eating and staying active will give you many benefits, and prevent a variety of conditions, not just diabetes.

Hard to come up with a reason not to make some changes isn’t it?! Schedule regular appointments with your doctor to have your blood sugar levels checked to make sure that you stay ahead of diabetes.

F**k Up, errr...Focus on the Family has decided to let us know that if you vote for Obama, the entire country will just fall right over. So will random other countries.

The document itself is called "Letter from 2012 in Obama's America," and it's a revealing look into what's wrong with Focus on the Family: it's gone completely bonkers.

Read it here. If you want to. I'd advise sticking to the summary. It conjures up fewer images of the writer crouched in a bomb shelter with a tinfoil helmet, sobbing and raving.

The word "homosexual," in case you were wondering, appears thirty-eight times.

Mary Galzier, Sarah Palin's mentor in spiritual warfare, issued a RED ALERT after receiving a prophecy from Our Lord, Jesus:

Those of you who know me know that I am conservative with warnings and careful about what I release for prayer. That being said, at my prayer meeting last Friday, two of my very trusted intercessors both received warnings of an attack that would cause national mourning. Neither shared it with me until this past hour. In the meantime my daughter Kat and I both were hit with travail on Saturday afternoon (9/20/08). There was a tremendous weight on our hearts as we felt a death was going to happen. We prayed that afternoon and evening. This past Friday through today, I have an ALARMING sense that we are about to experience a terrorist attack that will launch our nation into a season of deep mourning.

Just a few minutes ago Eleanor Roehl, a powerful Eskimo intercessor and prophet, called me to say she senses an imminent attack against our nation. Then Karen Fink came into my office to share the following revelation she had this past Friday with increasing weight on her heart ever since:

She received the scripture Gen. 50:3,"A period of NATIONAL MOURNING". She then saw Sarah Palin standing alone and she was mantled with the American flag. The flag was upside down because things are inverted (upside down) right now. I knew she was stepping into an office that she was mantled for."



OYE VEY!!!
