Long term type 2 diabetes symptoms include abnormal thickening of the basement membrane of capillaries present all over the body. This is an effect normally seen in ageing population, however, in diabetics its impact is seen as micro-angiopathy in kidneys retina and nervous system. This results in symptoms like dizziness, abdominal fullness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, incontinence, anhydrosis and impotency. There may also be chronic and perforating ulcers in feet and painless arthropathy known as Charcot’s joints as also some muscle weakness and muscle wasting.
Other physical signs of type 2 diabetes may involve loss of tendon reflexes in lower limbs, diminished vibration sense causing impairment of the limbs. Skin lesions like carbuncles, spotted leg syndrome, fungal infection on skin and mucous membrane that is contaminated by glucose and infection of external genitalia are also some of the symptoms of this disease. Women patients may experience loss of fertility and libido. Another disorder known as hepatomegaly is caused in type 2 diabetes patients on account of fat and glycogen infiltration. A very rare but still observed sign is onset of coma.

Diabetes Facts.
Most diabetics die from heart attacks not diabetes. Insulin slowly eats away major arterial linings. Added to insulin is high blood sugar levels which harm your smaller blood vessels and nerve endings.
That’s why diabetes causes millions of people to suffer the loss of quality of life. Thanks to discoveries in the new science of natural medicine there are natural diabetes treatments.
When cell membranes health fails because of missing nutrients and minerals, protein receptors lose ability to detect insulin. This can trigger a build up of excess insulin in Type 2 diabetics. Healthy cell membranes detect smaller amounts of insulin and respond by taking up the blood sugar that insulin delivers for cellular fuel.
When cell membrane health suffers from under-nutrition the pancreatic Beta cells have to make extra insulin. Insulin is a hormone that delivers sugar from the blood to the cell membrane.
Nutrient deficient cell membranes which become insulin resistant, lead to Pre-diabetes and Type 2 sufferers. Over time producing extra insulin strains the pancreas weakening the beta cells . . . eventually triggering Type 1 diabetes.
There are natural diabetes treatments where if we nurture the cell environment with the right care, they can heal themselves.
Genetics have no direct relationship with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. Genes are really controlled by cell membrane receptors (proteins) that depend on
specific micro-nutrients and trace minerals.
