Welcome!
Hi!
Welcome to my blog about diabetes and my personal struggle with it. My name is Daniel Fitzgerald and I used to suffer from type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is “when your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn’t able to keep up and can’t make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels (Diabetes.org).”
I was on tons of different medications, I was working out every single day, and I was eating as healthy as possible. Doctors had me try different Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, and even DPP-4 inhibitors, but none of them worked. On top of these pills, I was required to inject myself with insulin. I was left depressed and lost. This was until I tried Diabetes Destroyer. David Andrews’s product was amazing. It helped me enter remission and it can help you too!
Using his product I am:
- Free from annoying insulin shots and painful finger pricks.
- Saying goodbye to useless medicines that make you feel sick, gain weight, and increase my risk of heart attack.
- No longer worrying about risky surgeries, amputations, and early death…
- No longer afraid of painful, tingling neuropathy in my feet, hands, and everywhere else in my body.
- Stress-free of wondering when my vision will completely fail, and I’ll blind for the rest of my life.
- Breaking the chains of always watching what I eat, always checking my blood sugar, and always feeling like a burden on my family and friends.
So turn off your cell phone, grab a pen and paper, and get ready to take notes. You’re about to learn how to Destroy Your Diabetes
Cure or Remission?
“The mission of the American Diabetes Association is “to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.” Increasingly, scientific and medical articles (1) and commentaries (2) about diabetes interventions use the terms “remission” and “cure” as possible outcomes. Several approved or experimental treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes (e.g., p
ancreas or islet transplants, immunomodulation, bariatric/metabolic surgery) are of curative intent or have been portrayed in the media as a possible cure. However, defining remission or cure of diabetes is not as straightforward as it may seem. Unlike “dichotomous” diseases such as many malignancies, diabetes is defined by hyperglycemia, which exists on a continuum and may be impacted over a short time frame by everyday treatment or events (medications, diet, activity, intercurrent illness). The distinction between successful treatment and cure is blurred in the case of diabetes. Presumably improved or normalized glycemia must be part of the definition of remission or cure. Glycemic measures below diagnostic cut points for diabetes can occur with ongoing medications (e.g., antihyperglycemic drugs, immunosuppressive medications after a transplant), major efforts at lifestyle change, a history of bariatric/metabolic surgery, or ongoing procedures (such as repeated replacements of endoluminal devices). Do we use the terms remission or cure for all patients with normal glycemic measures, regardless of how this is achieved?
A consensus group comprised of experts in pediatric and adult endocrinology, diabetes education, transplantation, metabolism, bariatric/metabolic surgery, and (for another perspective) hematology-oncology met in June 2009 to discuss these issues. The group considered a wide variety of questions, including whether it is ever accurate to say that a chronic illness is cured; what the definitions of management, remission, or cure might be; whether goals of managing comorbid conditions revert to those of patients without diabetes if someone is “cured”; and whether screening for diabetes complications needs to continue in the “cured” patient. Since little or no scientific or actuarial evidence exists to inform the group’s discussions, consensus was difficult to attain in a number of areas. The opinions and recommendations expressed herein are those of the authors and not the official position of the American Diabetes Association.
Medically, cure may be defined as restoration to good health, while remission is defined as abatement or disappearance of the signs and symptoms of a disease . Implicit in the latter is the possibility of recurrence of the disease. Many clinicians consider true cure to be limited to acute diseases. Infectious diseases could be seen as a model: acute bacterial pneumonia can be cured with antibiotics, but HIV infection, currently, can at best be stated to be in remission or converted to a chronic disease. The consensus group considered the history of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which evolved from a uniformly fatal disease to one that could be put into remission to one that can now often be considered cured . Conversely, chronic myelocytic leukemia is now considered to be in prolonged remission, but not cured, with therapies such as imatinib.
For a chronic illness such as diabetes, it may be more accurate to use the term remission than cure. Current or potential future therapies for type 1 or type 2 diabetes will likely always leave patients at risk for relapse, given underlying pathophysiologic abnormalities and/or genetic predisposition. However, terminology such as “prolonged remission” is probably less satisfactory to patients than use of the more hopeful and definitive term “cure” after some period of time has elapsed. Additionally, if cure means remission that lasts for a lifetime, then by definition a patient could never be considered cured while still alive. Hence, it may make sense operationally to consider prolonged remission of diabetes essentially equivalent to cure. This is analogous to certain cancers, where cure is defined as complete remission of sufficient duration that the future risk of recurrence is felt to be very low (pubmed).”
The term cure is fix does not necessarily work for diabetes. However, there are some products on the market today that can help lead a user into remission. One such product is called Diabetes Destroyer. The name may be misleading, as this does not destroy diabetes. It does, however, lead most of its users (like myself!) into remission. Why not try it today?
