THE LINK BETWEEN DIABETES & STROKE

What is STROKE??

A sudden impairment of brain function. Also known as brain attack.
Cause by either reduction of blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke) OR bleeding to the brain (hemorrhagic stroke)
Ischemic stroke caused by clot due to fat, cholesterol and other substances that collect on the artery walls, forming a sticky substance called plaque.
Hemorrhagic stroke (bleed) happens when a blood vessels in the brain bursts, causing blood to leak into the brain.



What is DIABETES??

A disease that can be characterized with the condition of hyperglycemia (high glucose level in blood).
2 types of diabetes:
      i.      Type 1 (IDDM – Insulin dependent DM) or known as early childhood diabetes. It is because of the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin. Commonly happens to children and teenagers. When the pancreas failed to produce insulin, the patient needs to get insulin injection to control their glucose level.



    ii.      Type 2 (NIDDM – Non insulin dependent DM).  It happens when there is decrease of body sensitivity to insulin. This makes the pancreas only produce little amount of insulin. As the body can produce its own insulin (although in a small quantity), the level of glucose in the blood can be monitored by proper weight management, proper intake of food, exercise and proper intake of medication. Insulin might be needed in certain emergency situation where the medication is not response or it has adverse reaction to the body.




The LINK!!

Generally, people with diabetes are 40% more likely to have an ischemic stroke.
Since type 2 diabetics are often OBESE or OVERWEIGHT, they often have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and circulation problems that put them higher risk of getting stroke.

  1. Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
    Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure.  I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis...
