Type II Diabetes Case Study

Hello,
I am looking for some help with type II Diabetes. I was diagnosed at the beginning of this year. So far I am able to control blood sugar with diet, no medications, but I would like more of a cure. My BS still goes fairly high when I have starchy vegetables and/or other carbs that I normally try to avoid, but sometimes the temptation is stronger than myself. ;-)

My fasting BS in the morning has normalized now, it used to always be 130-200. But it is now usually about 90-115 first thing in the morning. If I avoid carbs and eat a higher protein meal, my BS will be between 85-110, 2 hours postprandial.

The long term health complications of heart disease, eye troubles, kidney failure... scare me. I had a very hard emotional time accepting my diagnoses and was in tears most of the time out of fear, and also mad at myself, because I know my sedentary lifestyle(I hate to exercise and would rather the house work would go away, my house is never tidy), and poor dietary habits contributed to this disease and if I hadn't been so bad in my daily duties and eating habits, I might have avoided this at least until I was older.

I desire a way of life that would allow me to sit and read or work on my websites without having to worry about dinner, dishes, laundry, house cleaning...I would like to have someone else to do it all for me, but that is of course impossible and just laziness on my part.

History:
I am about 5'5', 220lbs., 42 years old, I have lost just over 40 lbs, my weight is down from 265 at the beginning of the year. I am fair skinned with freckles, red hair.

Married with 3 children, ages 13-8. Our first pregnancy was a miscarriage, and I had a second one at the time of my Mother's death in 2000.

I am a night owl, love to stay up late and read or do research when the house is quiet, but even when I get a good nights sleep (8 or more hours), I feel unrefreshed in the morning.

My teeth seem to be falling apart, lots of cavities, due to a lack of care. I am slovenly about good hygiene. I don't like to brush my teeth and dread having to take a shower, though once I do, I like it....?!?!

I suffer from constipation, Not going regularly at all. I will go for two or three days with no movement, then I will have a day or two that I will go maybe once or twice each day then back to not going.

There is a history of colon cancer: both my parents died from complications. My father had colitis since he was about 7 or 8 years old, and my mother also suffered with constipation and became T-II diabetic in her 60's.

My hands and feet are cold in the winter, yet especially my feet will still sweat or be clammy. occasionally I have a tingling sensation in my toes, and my hands 'fall asleep' when I am typing, or driving if I don't flex my hands from time to time.

I used to get pinched nerves in my neck, but through Chiropractic care, I haven't had it for almost 20 years.

I have dandruff, and when scratched it can, but not always, become scabby.

I smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day, no regular drinking, although I will have a glass of wine on special occasions, not even once a month. I do not use any other drugs or medications regularly. I have in the past had antibiotics and use Ibuprofen for headaches. I get headaches at the nape of my neck occasionally.

I have noticed that I get hiccups on windy days or when there is a drastic/sharp change in barometric pressure.

I get frustrated and irritated easily, especially with those closest to me...Husband, children...

Do not take criticism well. and/or encouragement. For example, When I would try to quit smoking if my husband would say how proud he was of me, it would put me in a bad mood, and I would go back to smoking.

I dislike the hot and humid weather we have in the summer, it makes me very lethargic. I love the fresh crisp days of fall, low temps and low humidity. makes me feel rejuvenated.

I don't like to drink water, though now being diabetic, it is what I drink most, plus Crystal light lemonade and 2-4 cups of coffee in the morning. I used to drink Mountain Dew all the time, very little daily water, like one or two glasses per day, which I'm sure is a part of why I am diabetic...

I enjoy marital relations with my husband, but rarely obtain climax even with stimulation.

My menstruation can be very irregular: I usually only have a period every 2-3 months, although I have had ones that start and stop for as long as 6 weeks. Sometimes my periods will come every month, but not often. I am guessing this is why our children were space so far apart, 2.5-3 years apart, and we haven't had any in the last 8 years...we have never done anything to prevent conception since we both desired a large family, and because of religious beliefs we wouldn't have used anything anyway.

I have no drastic cravings or aversions to food now, although I enjoy sweets and other snack foods like chips. I also used to crave Mt Dew, and it was what I mainly drank, though not any more.

I do hope I can get some help with all this, I have read some of the info about arnica 30c and am interested to see if there would be anything else indicated for my case.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
Sheila
