Can complications of Diabetes be delayed and even prevented?

November 22, 2024

Diabetes is a chronic condition that afflicts millions of people throughout the world, and which can affect the body all the way from cardiovascular disease and kidney damage up to vision problems and nerve damage. But the good news is that complications of diabetes can usually be put off or prevented with careful management. In this article, we will explore how Iridology has the potential to share information about your health, the need for healthy diets and practising natural remedies that are compatible with a diabetic lifestyle.

If you or someone you know has Diabetes or is Prediabetic or would like to remain healthy, watch this video, ”What happens if you ignore Diabetes?”

Understanding Diabetes and Its Complications

Type 1 diabetes happens when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin (a hormone that helps the cells in your body take up blood sugar), and type 2 diabetes occurs when your body can’t produce enough insulin and your body doesn’t respond to insulin’s effects. Over time, high blood sugar levels can harm blood vessels and nerves, resulting in complications such as:

Heart Disease and Stroke

It’s caused by damaged blood vessels and high cholesterol levels.

Kidney Disease

High sugar levels overwork your kidneys, putting you at risk of kidney failure.

Vision Problems

Diabetics are prone to diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma.

Neuropathy

Damage to the nerves (which can cause pain, tingling and numbness in extremities).

But it’s important to manage diabetes in order to minimise these risks.

The Role of Iridology in Diabetes Management

Iridology is a holistic health assessment technique that assesses the iris or the coloured part of the eye, to identify patterns, markings and colours which reflect a person’s overall health. They believe that the iris can disclose areas of the body that are susceptive to weaknesses or imbalances.

Iridology may detect stress on the pancreas, circulatory system and other organs affected by the blood sugar imbalance in people who have diabetes or prediabetes. During an Iridology consultation:

History is Reviewed

Your lifestyle and health history is considered.

Iris Examination

Specific signs for example, pigmentation changes, radial furrows or patterns are examined in the iris.

Holistic Recommendations

If an Iridologist believes a problem may be present, they may suggest a change in your lifestyle, a change in your diet and/or perhaps a natural remedy.

Iridology cannot diagnose diabetes, but it can be used as a supplementary aid to help inform people to better health practices and potential prevention.

Foods to Eat and Avoid for Managing Diabetes

Controlling blood sugar and preventing complications require a regulated diet.

Foods to Eat

Leafy Greens

Greens like spinach, kale, and other dark green vegetables are low in calories and carbohydrates but packed with fibre and nutrients such as magnesium, which is helpful for insulin sensitivity.

Whole Grains

Slow digesting carbohydrates from brown rice, quinoa or oats do not cause your blood sugar to spike rapidly.

Healthy Fats

Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil are good for the heart and help regulate blood sugar.

High-Fibre Foods

Lentils and chickpeas slow sugar absorption and decrease cholesterol.

Low-Glycemic Fruits

Low glycemic index berries, cherries, and apples are good choices.

Herbs and Spices

Insulin sensitivity and inflammation reduction has been shown with cinnamon and turmeric.

Foods to Avoid

Refined Sugars

Blood sugar spikes with candies, pastries, and sugary beverages increases the chances of developing insulin resistance.

White Flour Products

Bread, pasta and other refined carbohydrates are rapidly converted to glucose in the bloodstream.

Trans Fats

Trans fats found in fried foods and processed snacks increase inflammation and increase your risk of disease.

High-Sodium Foods

Hypertension is a common comorbidity in diabetes and excess salt worsens it.

Sugary Drinks

Sodas and energy drinks are very high in empty calories and sugar.

Balancing macronutrients and choosing whole foods and nutrient dense foods can vastly improve blood sugar control and general health.

Natural Remedies for Supporting Diabetes Management

Natural remedies are also a good addition to regular diabetes treatments. Here are some remedies backed by research and holistic health practices:

Bitter Melon

Bitter melon is a traditional remedy for lowering blood sugar. It contains compounds which resemble insulin and allow glucose to enter cells. Bitter melon can be eaten as a tea, a juice, or a steamed vegetable.

Fenugreek Seeds

Soluble fibre in fenugreek slows sugar absorption and helps control blood sugar. Soak fenugreek seeds overnight and in the morning, consume with water.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties and may also improve your fasting blood sugar levels. Aloe vera juice is a refreshing health boosting beverage, either drink its juice or mix it with your smoothie.

Cinnamon

Insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose levels can be lowered with cinnamon. A great easy way to get a health boost is to add a teaspoon of cinnamon to your morning oatmeal or tea.

Gymnema Sylvestre

This herb dubbed the ‘sugar destroyer’ can help reduce sugar absorption in the gut and improve insulin. You can add gymnema tea or supplements to your regime.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Insulin sensitivity and post-meal blood sugar levels can be improved by apple cider vinegar. Dilute one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water and drink before meals.

Oatmeal Baths for Skin Health

People with diabetes are prone to skin infections and dryness. Irritation is soothed and the skin is moisturised by oatmeal baths.

The Importance of Lifestyle Changes

Beyond food and natural remedies, lifestyle changes are essential for diabetes management:

Regular Exercise

Activities like walking, swimming, or yoga help increase insulin sensitivity, and lower blood sugar.

Stress Management

Meditation, deep breathing and mindfulness are practises that lower cortisol levels which can affect blood sugar.

Adequate Sleep

Poor sleep throws off hormonal balance and has been shown to increase insulin resistance.

Hydration

Drinking water is good for kidney function, and helps flush out excess sugar.

Combining Iridology with Holistic Health Practices

Combining Iridology in your journey to health can be a way to clarify what areas need your attention. By combining insights from Iridology with dietary changes, natural remedies, and a healthy lifestyle, you can:
