Diabetes

THE DIABETES CONUNDRUM
Diabetes is the sixth most common cause of death and the second leading cause of blindness in the USA. Diabetes may have a genetic cause or it may occur as a side effect of drugs. It is usually triggered by emotional stress and/or trauma and bad eating habits.

The diabetic person usually is underdeveloped in one or more of the following areas within themselves which are;

• emotional intelligence,
• mental development (perception),
• spiritual development,
• boundary setting,

and possibly an understanding of how romantic relationships should work. Address these and most diabetic symptoms usually disappear.
