Twenty four million
people have this disease
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.10
and in an five years
span this disease has doubled.
00:00:04.64\00:00:08.28
If your over 60, one
fourth of you have this disease.
00:00:08.82\00:00:12.46
What is it? Well,
today's program is entitled
00:00:12.90\00:00:14.93
diabetes and
epidemic. We'll be right back.
00:00:15.42\00:00:18.47
Hi, welcome to
Abundant Living. My name is
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.32
Curtis Eakins, your co-host
for today, and this is my
00:00:47.35\00:00:51.03
beautiful bride and
wife and friend and partner
00:00:51.06\00:00:55.24
in business relationship,
Paula Eakins. I just
00:00:55.98\00:01:02.46
ran out of math skills so,
I think I'll just stop there,
00:01:02.49\00:01:05.79
Susan maybe watching too.
Thanks a lot, thanks a lot,
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.37
thanks a lot. Yeah you're
a lot to me, partnership in
00:01:09.40\00:01:11.87
our ministry. Absolutely,
Absolutely It's same here.
00:01:11.90\00:01:14.56
Yes, same here. Having a
wonderful time. Absolutely.
00:01:14.59\00:01:17.51
In our traveling. Yes,
and we are hitting another
00:01:17.54\00:01:19.97
heavy subject. And not
only a subject that you may
00:01:20.00\00:01:25.67
in the tease you talked
about a subject that as you
00:01:25.70\00:01:29.45
get a little bit older and
what we are actually seeing
00:01:29.48\00:01:31.77
now is we're seeing
this whole thing of diabetes
00:01:31.80\00:01:34.70
epidemic actually come
into the area of your teenagers.
00:01:34.73\00:01:37.87
That's true, and your
young adults, and so it's a very
00:01:37.90\00:01:41.05
critical disease and one
in which can be prevented,
00:01:41.08\00:01:47.61
yes, in many
ways, yes absolutely.
00:01:47.64\00:01:50.17
Yes, and again this is
the first part of a running
00:01:50.21\00:01:54.16
series called defeating
diabetes series, alright,
00:01:54.19\00:01:58.42
so we're gonna be doing
diabetes and we're going to
00:01:58.45\00:02:01.12
be talk about the
diabetes and carbohydrates,
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.40
lifestyle reversal,
neuropathy, nerve damage
00:02:03.89\00:02:07.90
and some other
lifestyle modifications as well.
00:02:07.93\00:02:10.22
So this is the first
part of the defeating diabetes
00:02:10.25\00:02:12.81
series. And as you mentioned
before children are also
00:02:12.84\00:02:17.14
diagnosed with
diabetes and normally when the
00:02:17.17\00:02:19.11
children's diagnosed
with diabetes usually before
00:02:19.14\00:02:21.85
the age 12. In most
cases it's about type I
00:02:21.88\00:02:26.08
over 90 percent. As
you get older you get more
00:02:26.11\00:02:29.52
a type II. We will talk
about that later on as well,
00:02:29.55\00:02:31.58
but the first of all,
let's talk about diabetes,
00:02:31.61\00:02:34.14
let's give a definition,
honey, what's happening
00:02:34.17\00:02:36.38
when a person is a diabetic?
00:02:36.41\00:02:37.91
Well, basically what happens
is when a person is defined
00:02:37.94\00:02:41.40
as a diabetic when
the insulin that they are
00:02:41.43\00:02:43.90
producing is either
not enough or that they're
00:02:43.93\00:02:46.88
actually producing it
in amounts that is not
00:02:46.91\00:02:49.46
helping the system.
Okay, so it's not enough
00:02:49.49\00:02:51.75
which means that they
don't have enough of the
00:02:51.78\00:02:53.46
insulin. Number 2 is
that they could be making it
00:02:53.49\00:02:56.37
but when you're making
it, it's still causing an
00:02:56.40\00:02:58.87
issue with the body
itself. And so type I, type II
00:02:58.90\00:03:02.63
they used to say
insulin dependent, non-insulin
00:03:02.66\00:03:04.51
dependent, well, two
types. Insulin dependent or
00:03:04.54\00:03:07.28
non-insulin dependent
are the two types and what I
00:03:07.31\00:03:10.74
said earlier is that
this has now moved down into
00:03:10.77\00:03:13.12
the teenagers as well
as in young adults many
00:03:13.15\00:03:15.38
because of lifestyle once again.
00:03:15.41\00:03:16.98
Okay, yeah, that's
true. And again this is now
00:03:17.01\00:03:20.27
categorized and
classified as an epidemic just
00:03:20.30\00:03:24.79
several years ago now
because it's increasing at
00:03:24.82\00:03:28.57
an increasing rate and
so these other forms of
00:03:28.60\00:03:33.29
diabetes are
gestational diabetes those who,
00:03:33.32\00:03:35.95
women are pregnant as well
and, that kind of goes away.
00:03:35.98\00:03:39.37
Well, that kind goes
away once the baby is
00:03:39.40\00:03:41.11
delivered, but again, so
but a lot of times most people
00:03:41.14\00:03:45.12
have type II, that's
over about 90, 95 percent.
00:03:45.15\00:03:48.70
Type I is about 5 percent.
We talk about that as well
00:03:49.26\00:03:52.00
as go through the
series defeating diabetes.
00:03:52.03\00:03:54.97
Now as far as numbers
are concerned let's talk
00:03:55.00\00:03:57.15
about some numbers
first of all to. Now again
00:03:57.18\00:04:00.34
this is a fasting
glucose, when you have a fasting
00:04:00.37\00:04:04.36
glucose from a 100 to
125 you consider it to be
00:04:04.39\00:04:09.14
pre-diabetic, okay, 100
to 125 and of course this is
00:04:09.17\00:04:14.22
all you in our work
book as well and about 60
00:04:14.25\00:04:16.79
million people fall into
that category, 60 million,
00:04:16.82\00:04:21.60
alright, now once
you've reached 126 and beyond,
00:04:21.63\00:04:27.26
then you're said to
be a diabetic and about
00:04:27.72\00:04:30.48
24 million people are
in that category and 18 are
00:04:30.51\00:04:34.86
diagnosed but another 6
million are undiagnosed.
00:04:34.89\00:04:39.62
So you maybe
watching this program today.
00:04:39.65\00:04:41.73
You may be in a 6
million percentage, a number
00:04:42.64\00:04:45.74
and you may be a
diabetic and don't even know it,
00:04:45.77\00:04:48.70
6 millions is quite a lot
of people, its a lot of people.
00:04:48.99\00:04:51.78
And so that's why
testing is very important for us
00:04:51.81\00:04:54.23
that's concerned as well.
Well, you know the thing is
00:04:54.26\00:04:56.89
I guess people always
ask me the question about
00:04:56.92\00:04:59.41
how exactly does
this thing happen?
00:04:59.84\00:05:01.75
What goes on inside the
system? One of the things
00:05:01.78\00:05:03.44
that we like to do
on Abundant Living show
00:05:03.47\00:05:05.48
when we doing our community
programs is to actually
00:05:05.51\00:05:08.21
show you know what's
going in the body system
00:05:08.24\00:05:11.14
and in this respect
an individual takes in
00:05:11.17\00:05:14.07
any kind of carbohydrates,
simple or complex, you know,
00:05:14.10\00:05:16.98
simple meaning something
like, you know, your fruit
00:05:17.01\00:05:18.97
kingdom. Complex
meaning something like, you
00:05:19.00\00:05:21.75
know, your potatoes, your
rice, we are talking that.
00:05:21.78\00:05:24.57
Once those they're called
carbohydrates, once it goes
00:05:24.60\00:05:26.64
into the system then
what happens is the body when
00:05:26.67\00:05:29.54
that sugar comes in,
it comes in as glucose
00:05:29.57\00:05:32.26
and from that glucose the
body once again is trying to
00:05:32.29\00:05:36.31
send that glucose into
the liver or into the muscle.
00:05:36.34\00:05:40.09
Now once it goes into
the liver or the muscle
00:05:40.42\00:05:42.26
it's called
glycogen. And that's once again
00:05:42.29\00:05:44.89
a very complex type
of sugar and from there
00:05:44.92\00:05:49.11
it automatically
alerts the pancreas.
00:05:49.14\00:05:51.54
The pancreas is alert as
soon as that sugar, glucose
00:05:51.57\00:05:53.86
comes into the system that
there is sugar in the blood
00:05:53.89\00:05:56.81
and with that in mind the
pancreas then sends out the
00:05:57.18\00:06:00.41
insulin and the insulin,
of course, then moves into the
00:06:00.44\00:06:03.40
those two areas, the
muscle and or liver. Now
00:06:03.43\00:06:06.56
anything in excess of
what the body needs to have
00:06:06.59\00:06:09.59
then goes automatically
into fat stores and that fat
00:06:09.62\00:06:13.71
storage is there, of
course, there still might be a
00:06:13.74\00:06:16.96
problem with sugar in the
blood. That's true. And that
00:06:16.99\00:06:20.24
where the diabetes
comes in. It has not gone
00:06:20.27\00:06:22.65
appropriately to where it
needs to go and it is still
00:06:22.68\00:06:24.99
in the bloodstream, so
therefore it is classified
00:06:25.02\00:06:27.87
as sugar diabetes. Yes,
okay, again we're going to
00:06:27.90\00:06:32.51
talk about the sugar caused
diabetes. We're gonna hold
00:06:32.54\00:06:35.12
off on that first because
that's why I'm going to ask
00:06:35.15\00:06:37.79
you, yes, yes, yes,
because we use the term sugar
00:06:37.82\00:06:40.79
diabetes so hold on to
that because this is coming. I
00:06:41.22\00:06:44.19
think I want to ask you
that question as well. Let's
00:06:44.22\00:06:46.60
talk about the
health risk. Okay, Now folks
00:06:46.63\00:06:50.07
from head to toe because
blood is everywhere in the
00:06:50.88\00:06:54.83
body. Every organ,
every gland needs blood for
00:06:54.86\00:06:59.25
nutrients,
therefore, every organ, gland is
00:06:59.28\00:07:01.86
affected by diabetes
because glucose, when
00:07:01.89\00:07:05.70
you say glucose
we're meaning blood sugar.
00:07:05.73\00:07:07.43
We use those terms
interchangeably. It' going
00:07:07.46\00:07:10.12
to affect every organ
and gland and the muscle
00:07:10.15\00:07:12.15
in a body from head to
toe. And let's go to our
00:07:12.18\00:07:14.86
fist graphic because a
lot of these are affective
00:07:14.89\00:07:18.29
when a person is
a type II diabetic.
00:07:18.32\00:07:20.75
Let's go to the top of
the picture there that my wife
00:07:21.09\00:07:23.64
said already, it's going
to affect the muscle and also
00:07:23.67\00:07:26.84
the liver and of course
maybe taking carbohydrates
00:07:26.87\00:07:30.23
then of course, the
carbohydrates turns into
00:07:30.74\00:07:34.15
glucose and it's stored in
those two areas of the top,
00:07:34.18\00:07:37.65
the muscle and the
liver. And when it's stored
00:07:37.68\00:07:39.81
there in those two
areas, we called that glycogen.
00:07:39.84\00:07:43.34
Now, let's go to the
brain. The brain needs glucose
00:07:43.97\00:07:47.63
to think, to reason, to
write, to read, therefore
00:07:47.66\00:07:53.47
if we do not have the
proper amount of glucose
00:07:53.50\00:07:56.15
or do not have a tight
control of our glucose.
00:07:56.18\00:07:58.45
The brain will be
affected by that as well.
00:07:58.76\00:08:02.16
I'm going to skip
the adipose tissue,
00:08:02.43\00:08:04.96
because I'm going to
let my wife about that
00:08:04.99\00:08:06.59
I want to go over to
the pancreas, of course
00:08:06.62\00:08:08.45
we all know that the
pancreas now most people
00:08:08.48\00:08:10.88
don't know that, the
pancreas produce insulin
00:08:10.91\00:08:13.89
but only by the beta-cells,
right, right, not the
00:08:14.55\00:08:17.40
alpha-cells, the
beta-cells. And beta-cells only
00:08:17.43\00:08:19.74
comprise about 2 to
3 percent of the entire
00:08:19.77\00:08:21.79
pancreas. So with
that in mind sometimes the
00:08:21.82\00:08:24.18
pancreas beta-cells are
damaged they cannot produce
00:08:24.21\00:08:27.51
that insulin so of
course we become a diabetic
00:08:27.54\00:08:29.96
because of high glucose
in blood steam. Let's go back
00:08:29.99\00:08:32.70
to that graphic again
because we want to talk
00:08:32.73\00:08:34.19
about also the
gastrointestinal track
00:08:34.22\00:08:36.64
particularly the stomach.
When there's glucose high in
00:08:36.67\00:08:39.58
the blood stream, it is
also going to affect the nerves
00:08:39.61\00:08:43.33
in the stomach, we
called that Gastroparesis,
00:08:43.36\00:08:46.65
nerve damage and later
on in the next few week
00:08:46.68\00:08:49.48
we are going to be
talking about diabetes
00:08:49.51\00:08:50.88
and botanical medicine,
neuropathy, nerve damage
00:08:50.91\00:08:55.62
as well. So, you can
see that diabetes can affect
00:08:55.65\00:08:58.87
a host of organs and
glands in a body because every
00:08:58.90\00:09:02.72
organ, every gland needs
blood. If blood has a lot of
00:09:02.75\00:09:08.08
glucose, blood sugar in
it, it's gonna effect every
00:09:08.11\00:09:11.06
organ and gland as well,
so it's a multi-facet disease.
00:09:11.09\00:09:14.64
Multi-facet, you know
what there is a question
00:09:15.04\00:09:19.68
that someone asked and
they said sugar diabetes,
00:09:20.16\00:09:23.77
we using those words
Yeah, that's my question,
00:09:23.80\00:09:25.89
sugar diabetes, yes.
Well, go ahead and ask me the
00:09:25.92\00:09:28.04
question. Okay, yeah,
because a lot of people
00:09:28.07\00:09:30.76
think that if they eat
a lot of sugar then they
00:09:30.79\00:09:34.91
gonna get diabetes
Absolutely, So can you help
00:09:34.94\00:09:38.21
us out? Yes or no.
well, I have a report Okay.
00:09:38.24\00:09:41.31
And it's asking a
question just like you just got
00:09:41.34\00:09:43.34
finished saying
that sugar's the culprit.
00:09:43.37\00:09:44.82
But Dr. James
Anderson, medical doctor,
00:09:44.85\00:09:47.21
professor of Medicine
and Clinical Nutrition,
00:09:47.24\00:09:49.89
University of
Kentucky. He had two groups of
00:09:49.92\00:09:52.45
individuals. Okay. The
first group were lean, healthy
00:09:52.48\00:09:55.88
men and these men were
doing a diet of 10 percent
00:09:55.91\00:09:59.77
fat and they were
doing 1 pound of sugar a day.
00:09:59.81\00:10:03.64
Okay, wait a
minute. Lean, healthy man,
00:10:03.67\00:10:05.48
lean, healthy man, 10
percent of their diet was
00:10:05.51\00:10:08.50
fat, was fat, and
they had 1 pound of sugar.
00:10:08.53\00:10:12.52
Yeah, 1 pound of sugar
that's like cookies, cakes
00:10:12.55\00:10:14.51
and pies. Right 'Cause
a lot of people, 1 pound,
00:10:14.54\00:10:16.64
would probably want
to get into that study.
00:10:16.67\00:10:18.36
Well, let's just
see what happens. Okay.
00:10:18.39\00:10:20.57
Because we have group
two, group two, that group two
00:10:20.60\00:10:23.11
was also lean healthy
men, okay, but these men were
00:10:23.14\00:10:26.07
given a diet of 65 percent
fat. oh! My goodness, 65 percent
00:10:26.10\00:10:31.65
fat, alright, okay,
so one group had low fat,
00:10:31.68\00:10:36.86
high sugar, a pound,
right, the second group had high
00:10:36.89\00:10:41.25
fat, but low amount
of sugar, very low sugar,
00:10:41.28\00:10:44.32
alright. So you would
assume, most people would
00:10:44.35\00:10:47.84
assume that those
individuals in a group that
00:10:47.87\00:10:52.37
had the high amount
of sugar the 1 pound
00:10:52.40\00:10:54.87
of sugar, probably had
more diabetics than the other
00:10:54.90\00:10:58.67
group that had hardly any
sugar, is that true or not?
00:10:58.70\00:11:01.91
Well, the results. The
results. Group I, the ones
00:11:01.94\00:11:04.80
who had that the sugar,
the high amount sugar and low
00:11:04.83\00:11:07.00
fat. This group did not
produce not one diabetic.
00:11:07.03\00:11:11.89
Wait a minute. The group
they had 1 pound of sugar
00:11:11.92\00:11:14.29
did not produce 1 diabetic
in 11 weeks. That's what
00:11:14.32\00:11:16.34
the stats say none.
However, group two, the one that
00:11:16.37\00:11:21.12
had the high amount of
fat, 65 percent in their diet
00:11:21.15\00:11:23.94
in fat and a very low
sugar content produced
00:11:23.97\00:11:27.92
a mild diabetics, in
less than two weeks. A mild
00:11:29.02\00:11:33.19
diabetic. Now I think
because of the fact that
00:11:33.22\00:11:35.08
people hear a word
sugar diabetes they think that
00:11:35.11\00:11:37.49
means sugar. Is the
cause. It just means that sugar
00:11:37.52\00:11:40.80
is in the blood, it
just means that sugar in
00:11:40.83\00:11:42.59
the blood, okay, but not
the cause, however, however,
00:11:42.62\00:11:45.20
however, what's happening
is that 65 percent of that
00:11:45.23\00:11:48.60
fat in the diet
coming from processed foods,
00:11:48.63\00:11:51.19
okay, alright, and
then of course your meat
00:11:51.22\00:11:52.81
kingdom, your diary
kingdom those together. What
00:11:52.84\00:11:55.78
happens is that the
fat in the blood then coats
00:11:55.81\00:12:00.07
the cell, okay, that the
pancreas is sending in the
00:12:00.33\00:12:03.35
insulin to go get that
sugar into the cell itself.
00:12:03.38\00:12:06.90
It can't do it,
because the cell is completely
00:12:06.93\00:12:09.50
surrounded by fat.
Okay, with that in mind
00:12:09.53\00:12:12.99
then of course
diabetes. Okay, okay,
00:12:13.34\00:12:16.19
I think Dr. James Anderson,
university of Kentucky.
00:12:16.23\00:12:19.27
Yup! Professor of
medicine, yeah, so can we do
00:12:19.30\00:12:21.79
anything? Okay,
clinical nutrition. We know him
00:12:21.82\00:12:24.00
personally. He came to our
house the other night yeah,
00:12:24.03\00:12:26.15
okay, You know, okay,
wonderful, he is the same
00:12:26.18\00:12:27.83
guy who remember, some
you remember the, the Oat
00:12:27.86\00:12:30.69
Bran craze back in the
70s, yes, yes, yes, the same
00:12:30.72\00:12:33.69
person. That's Dr. James
Anderson. Yeah, yeah. okay,
00:12:33.72\00:12:35.20
do that. Heavily involved
in talking about once again
00:12:35.23\00:12:37.36
plant based diet.
Okay, plant based diet is
00:12:37.39\00:12:39.96
one of the things that
he also talks about as well,
00:12:39.99\00:12:42.19
okay, so. I want to
before you going to the next
00:12:42.22\00:12:45.56
question, or whatever we
have there because diabetes
00:12:45.59\00:12:49.66
is a multi-facet disease,
right that affects a lot of
00:12:50.44\00:12:54.63
organs and glands in body.
Let's go to the next graphic
00:12:54.66\00:12:58.59
because it also affects
the heart as well. Again when
00:12:58.62\00:13:03.28
glucose is high in the
blood stream it makes our
00:13:03.31\00:13:07.33
red blood cells very stiff
and rigid as you see there.
00:13:07.36\00:13:12.24
So with that in mind
those red blood cell are very
00:13:12.81\00:13:16.04
stiff and rigid if
there's any cholesterol deposits
00:13:16.07\00:13:20.09
in the blood stream,
it's going to have a very
00:13:20.12\00:13:22.43
difficult time going through
that cholesterol deposit,
00:13:22.46\00:13:25.38
or that plaque that
we talked about, okay,
00:13:25.41\00:13:27.18
in later weeks gone
by. So with that in mind
00:13:27.21\00:13:31.54
if a person is a diabetic
they have a 2 to 4 times
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.65
greater risk of heart
attack and a stroke because of
00:13:34.68\00:13:39.06
that. Diabetes is also,
now get this folks, the leading
00:13:39.09\00:13:44.48
cause of adult blindness,
the leading cause of renal
00:13:44.94\00:13:51.79
failure. Amputation, some
72,000 amputations per year
00:13:52.03\00:13:59.27
year, alright, I worked at
Huntsville hospital for nine
00:13:59.30\00:14:01.47
years and the one surgical
procedure that I dread the
00:14:01.50\00:14:06.19
most was amputations,
assisting in that surgical
00:14:06.22\00:14:09.81
procedure and I mean I
have a leg in my hand as a
00:14:09.84\00:14:14.11
very erie feeling you
know, and sometimes the foot
00:14:14.14\00:14:17.57
I mean it looks black and
the necrosis is dead tissue
00:14:17.60\00:14:20.96
is always is very damaged.
So that's why we're doing
00:14:20.99\00:14:25.00
this program, this
series defeating diabetes in a
00:14:25.03\00:14:29.08
series over the next
several weeks because we need to
00:14:29.11\00:14:31.87
gain control of diabetes
and defeat this disease. I know
00:14:32.44\00:14:36.76
and one of the things
we've done this in our community
00:14:36.79\00:14:38.66
and you've done the foot
and then you've also done
00:14:38.69\00:14:41.47
the eye and I think by
the time foot and the eye come
00:14:41.50\00:14:44.81
up one of the screen I
think the people are ready to
00:14:44.84\00:14:46.80
make some changes. Yeah, I
started to had some of those
00:14:46.83\00:14:49.15
pictures on the
screen here but this program
00:14:49.18\00:14:53.25
probably would not air,
did you, but it's very graphic.
00:14:53.28\00:14:56.01
So you didn't bring any
graphics with you. No, No
00:14:56.04\00:14:57.92
I didn't bring it, yeah.
But you know don't tell them
00:14:57.95\00:15:00.22
what you said about the
fat now, yes, because when
00:15:00.25\00:15:03.32
fat goes up the
risk of diabetes goes up
00:15:03.35\00:15:06.55
proportionally. Let's go
to our first graphic and this
00:15:06.58\00:15:09.94
is a graphic of the
United States. And let's look at
00:15:09.97\00:15:13.13
this time now, this is
the United States and so with
00:15:13.16\00:15:17.18
that in mind this is
the United States and the
00:15:17.21\00:15:19.82
obese rate. So therefore,
with that in mind you see at
00:15:19.85\00:15:24.11
the bottom part of
the United States in the
00:15:24.14\00:15:27.29
South Central region
where it's more blackened
00:15:27.32\00:15:30.15
that means there is more
obese in those areas than
00:15:30.50\00:15:33.44
any other areas in the
United states, so you see
00:15:33.47\00:15:35.93
there for I know this
is a world wide program
00:15:35.96\00:15:38.97
here but you have
probably Louisiana,
00:15:39.00\00:15:42.64
most of Mississippi, a
great part of Alabama, parts of
00:15:43.06\00:15:47.72
Georgia, some Tennessee
there as well. Those are the
00:15:47.75\00:15:51.29
states that has at least 30
percent of their individuals
00:15:51.32\00:15:55.11
who are obese. Now keeping
that in mind look at that
00:15:55.14\00:15:59.59
map very carefully.
Let's go to the next map
00:15:59.92\00:16:03.43
because the next map is a
diabetes map. You see there
00:16:03.71\00:16:07.60
it's almost the same area
as the amount for obesity.
00:16:07.63\00:16:12.53
So as if obese goes up,
so does diabetes goes up as
00:16:13.09\00:16:16.83
well. You just explained
that because the fat closes the
00:16:16.86\00:16:19.35
cell. So that's why we did
a series again. The winning
00:16:19.38\00:16:22.91
weight series as far as how
to lose that weight as well.
00:16:22.94\00:16:25.63
Well, I guess the next
question is where are the
00:16:25.66\00:16:27.31
warning signs? Where
are the warning sign that
00:16:27.34\00:16:29.57
individual can look?
There are a lot of warning signs
00:16:29.60\00:16:32.15
and it really depends
on a type of diabetes,
00:16:32.18\00:16:34.50
you have type I and
type II, they're kind of
00:16:34.53\00:16:36.26
different but some
of the warning signs
00:16:36.29\00:16:37.78
are excessive
thirst, constant urination,
00:16:37.81\00:16:41.59
blurred vision, slow
healing cuts, tingling
00:16:42.42\00:16:47.01
prickly numbness in the
finger and on your toes,
00:16:47.04\00:16:49.46
those are the some of the
warning signs that a person
00:16:50.31\00:16:52.16
maybe diabetic and
that's why testing is very
00:16:52.19\00:16:54.79
important. And that's
lot. Yes Okay and we cover some
00:16:54.82\00:16:59.64
of the testing in our
work book, so lets read that
00:16:59.67\00:17:02.19
and find out. And
along with that we talk about
00:17:02.22\00:17:05.95
something in the epidemic
diabetes, epidemic then we
00:17:05.98\00:17:07.92
know that we're gonna be,
as we go through these series
00:17:07.95\00:17:10.44
we'll be talking
about things that we can do
00:17:10.47\00:17:12.10
and signs we'll look at.
Yes. We gonna go over this
00:17:12.13\00:17:14.28
again, again with you.
But you know it's time to go
00:17:14.31\00:17:16.57
into the kitchen and
we're going to the kitchen
00:17:16.60\00:17:18.79
and we gonna be doing
a black bean and on top
00:17:18.82\00:17:23.23
of that we're going
to also do some plantain.
00:17:23.26\00:17:25.19
I am not sure if you
seen that before or not but
00:17:25.22\00:17:27.24
let me tell you something.
Black beans and plantains oh!
00:17:27.27\00:17:31.05
Yes. Oh! Yes. Get your paper and
00:17:31.08\00:17:32.79
your pencil and
meet us in the kitchen.
00:17:32.82\00:17:34.85
