Diabetes is a growing epidemic in the United States that is often avoidable and mistreated.

If you are already diagnosed with diabetes, you understand the problems and lifestyle changes you should make. We can put you on a program that will help you reduce your blood glucose (sugar) readings and help you feel better. Our patients have had great success and call us today so we can help you feel start feeling better and improve your quality of life.

But what if you have never been diagnosed but have some of the symptoms of diabetes and are "functionally or pre-diabetic"?

Let's look at an example. Your blood glucose level is 125. Normal range is often 70-140, if you are in this range you and your doctor may think you are fine. The Life Extension Foundation (a well-respected healthcare study group) says that you are at risk for developing diabetes if your blood glucose is over 100. So you could very well be developing diabetes and not even know it. Some of the symptoms of "functional diabetes or regular diabetes", are fatigue, weight gain or weight loss, insomnia, irritability before meals or if meals are missed, lightheadedness, vertigo, low testosterone for men, low progesterone for females, increased cholesterol and triglycerides , fibromyalgia, lactic acidosis (muscle soreness at rest and in the morning), and others.

At Lighthouse Family Wellness Center, we have put together a successful program for patients with diabetes or functional diabetes. We have seen patients who are both Non-insulin and Insulin Dependent change their health and their outlook on this disease. We have seen a number of cases where blood glucose (sugar) was into the mid 350s, and is now under 100 and in control. Dietary supplements, diet, and bio-identical hormone replacement may be a part of a program. Since every patient is different, there are different aspects to each patients program. Call today for your FREE Consultation to see if you may be a candidate for this program or to come to one of our monthly seminars.
