Mwanawasa banned GMO foods for this reason. People were being exposed too much to processed and American foods!

Very true. I forgot one thing in my post above. It was to tell the reader that I exercise every other day. I run at least 6km sometimes more but the important thing is that all the symptoms for diabetes that I had have vanished. Since 2000 I dont have fatigue, night thirst or frequent urination.

After the death of my mother, her sister I realized that I too was a potential candidate for this deadly disease called diabetes. I saw how they suffered and made a promise to myself to not get it. I made a few minor, not major changes to my lifestyle is all it takes. Exercise and watching what you eat. Ofcouse occasionally I do give myself treats, it doesn’t have to be all boring.

You are stupid. Why you come to trash your mothers on social media?
You should be going after doctors who cutting off legs of women, insteadof just normal medical treatments . It has become a bad habit. Russians did same in Angola, you will see many Angolans with 1 leg.

Increased availability of HbA1c testing is crucial for identifying the problem, many people don’t even know they are affected or where the symptoms are coming from

As a person who was diagnosed with diabetes in 1999 I advise you to take one statement in this article very seriously:
“Know this crucial information: Diabetes can be controlled and even reversed, but only if we act early!”
I took the doctor’s medicine for three months, Did some research and from 2000 the doctor has never seen me again. I stopped the medication. I eat differently. I try by all means to eat pumpkin leaves, and green vegetables, village chicken and all the foods I have mentioned above. I dont take any medication and once in a while enjoy my Mosi.
