Sean, Thank U King👑👑 unfortunately I can't blame hfcs, I read labels (drives most ppl crazy if they have to go grocery shopping with me- cuz even if I've used a product for a while & "know I can trust it" I still randomly read the ingredients- cuz companies succumb to the greed factor, forget why they started making quality products in the 1st place & start mixing in all kinds of garbage), I stay away from long ingredients lists, hfcs, "food" dyes (carcinogenic chemicals), any word followed by a bunch of letters or numbers (i.e. tetrasodium EDTA), & anything I know is random chemicals unfit for human consumption. This is across the board for me, in other words hygiene products, cleaning supplies, even my clothing (I want to see: 100% cotton, leather, etc- I don't want anything plastic made to look like cloth resting on my skin). No I'm not "high maintenance" I'm conscious and I'm worth more than "following trends." That's exactly why I got pissed off with myself, I know better but I didn't Do Better. I know processed sugar destroys internal organs because they bleach it with embalming fluid to get that "pristine white" crystal. I know that grains especially wheat, corn, & soy are detrimental to human health as they have been decimated by chemical companies with "built into the seed, herbicides & pesticides." And I str8 up ignored all the knowledge I have, for feeding my Ego the garbage it wanted.

It's funny, I won't eat fast food, I stay away from most preprocessed food stuffs, I won't touch conventional dairy, eggs, or meat (all idustrialized products which are harmful to ur health- anytime something is mass produced, it's fucked from jump). I only use castile or goats milk soaps. I use pure cold pressed coconut oil for everything: sunscreen, hair conditioner, skin oil, oral care. I use Aloe (str8 out the leaf) for skin treatment (bug bites, burns, wound healing/cleansing). I've been utilizing Intermittent Fasting, KETO, & even Paleo on & off over the past several years. I don't even have Tylenol or Ibuprofen ever for the last 5 years. And still with ALL that I allowed myself to overindulge in garbage, and it literally started with pastel de guayaba con queso the minute I got back to south FL cuz I hadn't had them in forever- CT it's difficult to find in the last 10 years or so.

Thank U for that last part especially, tho I get in a decent workout 5 days a week working on the farm, I do Miss Dancing, it's been 4ever!! I Appreciate U🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴

I learned so much reading this, Reina. I’m sure you can reverse this with the things you suggested. It’s incredible how medics won’t recommend dietary changes but only drugs to treat this. Also, your grandmother is definitely watching out for you. I hope you feel healthier and back to full energy soon. 💫🤗✨

Thank U Queen👑👑 and I am happy that I was able to share some knowledge. I am curious tho, what exactly was it that U didn't know about (if U don't mind sharing)??

That's the exact problem is, people in the "Medical" field are just that- they practice "Medicine" (eh-hem Drugs), most of them no longer practice Healthcare & haven't in a few generations already. They hand out whatever new drug gets them the biggest bonus check without any thoughts given to the human in front of them. I've watched this format take over, from both sides of it- working in the field as well as being a patient. Modern day medical personnel mostly look for &/or create repeat customers- if U are healthy they don't make money off of U, which is why most will not actually speak the truth of, "If U want to be healthy, U have to Stop doing the shit that got U unhealthy, period." There is No magic pill to instantly fix what I have fucked up over the course of years of bad choices. It's just that simple but our society lives in the Ego for the most part & always wants instant gratification- that's Not how life works.

Thank U My Beautiful Friend 🥰🥰 for still being a part of My Journey, I Love & Appreciate U🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴

Hi - I knew about needing to pee a lot and being thirsty. But not the sweet smell or bubbles in your urine. Or the sporadic weight gain. I’m interested as both biological parents developed type 2 in later years. So I’m vigilant!

I agree with the lack of health care. It would be more effective if medics could say eat less crap, move more and quit smoking/alcohol. But they won’t. My mum died of sclerosis and only one doctor ever challenged her drinking.

A pleasure being on this journey with you, Reina! 😘✨❤️

Hey, thanks for another clear and direct message of guidance. It is really challenging to have proper diet and exercise control. you are absolutely correct in avoiding pharmaceuticals as a way of maintaining balance. The use of appropriate herbs in addition to peace of mind

and body movement really are the key to unlocking the door to the secret of long life. I must admit that I am very reluctant about chemical medicines in general.🤩🙏🇮🇹🧘

Thank U Queen👑👑 Yes!! It's insane the poison "they" want us to play guinea pig/lab rat with. There is not a single ailment or dis-ease on this planet that U "need" drugs to "cure"- Everything has a Natural remedy, ya just gotta want the info/knowledge. Love U Beautiful🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴

Hi hun. I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but as someone said in the comments, it is reversible. I’m sending you many hugs across the pond🙏🏾🙏🏾

As far as herbs go, I would look into gymnema sylvestre for pancreatic support, maybe consider some good digestive enzymes and maybe supplementation with Chromium picolinate. Adding a good quality Ceylon cinnamon into your coffee, yoghurts, and cereal can also assist. Only Ceylon though as others don’t have the same effect.

Increasing bitter herbs before eating can be of use. You can purchase herbal bitters in tincture form. Supporting the liver will also be important, so taking the bitter ms can assist as well as milk thistle

My husband suffers from kidney stones. He has been taking 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the mother in it now every day for the last year and so far he has not had any stones. Your kidneys can only handle about 15 g of protein at any one meal. So make sure you spread your protein in take throughout the day. It sounds like you are on the right road though with your herbs in the food you have chosen to eat. I will keep you in my prayers! ✨💖🤗🙏

Thank U Beautiful @Charlotte Pendragon for the reminder!! I used to use Bragg’s acv All the time, but haven't been since moving🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ That is actually a vital piece of the puzzle as it reactivates your body's production of strong healthy stomach acid for breaking down food properly, keeping it from going further into the digestive system and sitting around becoming septic, or creating so many other health issues.👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿

I am the same with pity; I often work through things alone because I can’t handle people feeling sorry for me 🤦‍♀️. Good luck to you kicking the habit; it can be hard to avoid that crap completely. I struggle with it, too. Wishing you good health and so many blessings ❤️

Thank U Beautiful👑👑 Yes it is a battle within, and that's exactly why I got pissed with myself, I am not nor have I ever been weak willed, so in order for an addiction of any kind to take over, that means I was being lazy & playing way too much🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I am a person who does str8 up commit to whatever it is which needs to be taken seriously & taken responsibility for- Always. So for shit to get so fkd as to create a diabetic response from my body, I screwed up plain & simple- but that Wake Up Call did what it was supposed to and I’m no longer, nor will I ever again, play Russian Roulette via eating choices.💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿

Keep intermittent fasting. A warm glass of water first thing in morning with lemon is great to get the digestive system working. On days you aren’t fasting follow up warm water with a green shake. I use Green 85 from Chemical Free Body. Try Shilajit as an herb too, many benefits. I take it every day. When you fiend for sugar down some water or have protein instead. Once you introduce sugar again from non fruit products ease back in with local honey (if there is any there). Many blessings.

Thank U King👑👑 Yes I'm in the mindset of only fruit & raw apiary fresh honey (which I definitely have access to) being sources of sugar, because once I cleanse my kidneys from the garbage, I don't wanna put more poison back in. I am going to check out the herb U mentioned as well as the ones Solarah said are good. Currently I'm back to green tea as well as acv in my water every day, along with fresh harvested ginger & turmeric (from rt here on the farm, I harvested), raw fresh made greek yogurt, and of course raw fresh garlic. The crazy part is I was literally sugar & wheat free for like 6months before moving, the last couple days before I moved I had pizza, cannolis, & several sandwiches (on sourdough), then got here & started just overdosing on wheat & sugar🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ in the form of pastel de guayaba con queso (a guava & cheese filled pastry🤤🤤) & that's where I fkd up🥴🥴😖😖

I'm writing a follow up to this sometime this week, & I'm going to include all advice on herbs, etc. from all these comments, so I'll hit U with a link when it's done, cuz I'll be shoutin out each of U. I want everyone who needs the info to find it🥰🥰👑👑💜💜☯️☯️🧿🧿🌴🌴
