My very first Diabetes Nurse was diabetic. She's almost 60 now. She is overweight, but not obese, and she is blind in one eye because of her diabetes. I have a friend who is nearly 55 now. He's been a type 1 diabetic for 50 years. He's pretty brittle as well. He suffers from restless leg syndrome, and his doctor believes that it is due to his diabetes. No one I know or have known has died, or is mortally ill due to diabetes. Good question!!

I met some one who had been a type 1 diabetic for 51 years when I had been a type 1 diabetic for more than 49 years. That was in November of 2004, I'm still here, kicking, and I can be pretty feisty when I'm online. ;-D Mary Tyler Moore was 40 Years old when she was finally diagnosed as having type diabetes in 1969.

There are some interesting findings on how chocolate can help with diabetes, type 1 & 2. RAW chocolate helps with inflammation of the cells. Through clinical trials they determined that the cells became more receptive to insulin (type 2) and that the beta cells(in the pancreas?) began to secrete some insulin again (type 1). Chocolate is amazing in it's raw natural form. The commercial candy companies took a perfect product and messed it all up. It must be raw (uncooked). Heating it kills most of the beneficial nutrients. This chocolate is raw, it is not bitter. It is wonderful. My niece has type 1 and has added this to her diet. I firmly believe that our bodies naturally crave to be balanced and healthy. We need to find the right things to help with that process. Also, Yes, this chocolate is recommended for diabetics. No refined sugar, no caffeine, no preservatives, no waxes or fats added. They combine the two most powerful antioxidant foods on the earth, cocoa and acai berry. Take a look at these two sites. www.mydrchocolate.com www.eatwellchocolates.com email me if you would like to talk more.
