How to Control Diabetes



I have diabetes...what now?
 
Diabetes:  A disease of the body’s metabolism that affects (increases) the body’s use of sugar.
Metabolism:  A set of chemical reactions  within our bodies that creates the energy that runs our bodies.
Signs and Symptoms:  Hunger, Excessive Thirst, Frequent urination, Fatigue, Irritability, Blurred vision, Slow healing of wounds & infection.  Weight loss usually occurs with Type 1 Diabetes.


Insulin resistance (IR):  A condition, usually hereditary, where the body's cells become resistant to the effects of insulin, requiring increasingly greater amounts to overcome the resistance. In response, the pancreas raises its production of insulin to meet the requirements caused by the resistance. Eventually the pancreas becomes depleted and is no longer able to provide the large quantities of insulin needed.  With inadequate insulin, the blood sugar rises causing pre-diabetes and eventually Type 2 diabetes.

In Pre-diabetes, blood glucose &/or A1C levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.   This is caused by insulin resistance described above. Since the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs, blood glucose levels rise above the normal range.  Usually persons with pre-diabetes have no symptoms, but are at risk for the same complications as a person with diabetes.  Weight loss and increased physical activity improve blood sugar values and may prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 Diabetes.

Uncontrolled Diabetes causes complications that may be disabling or life threatening. Some complications are Heart attacks, Strokes, Peripheral Artery disease (PAD), Kidney Failure, Blindness, & Nerve damage.

What is Network Marketing?

Is Network Marketing a Scam?

A bit of background on myself, I am a Marketing and Business Development Manager full-time.  I have been in Marketing since graduating college.  I understand how Marketing works.  To be fair, I have never ever wanted to participate in Network Marketing such as Thirty-one, Pampered Chef, etc...  I tried Plexus for the first time in November and fell in love by day 3.  This was reason alone for me to sign with Plexus to sell their products.  I want to help others succeed with their health and wellness goals.

Network marketing isn't a pyramid scheme.  This isn't a business to sign as many people possible and hope each person purchases as much product as possible.  In fact, Ambassadors do not make money off any purchases that their downline purchases directly.  Pyramid schemes don't even involve products- just money.

Ambassadors make money through sales and from their downline making sales.  When Ambassadors make a lot of money, it's because they have put a lot of dedication into building the organization by selling the product.  Leverage your time and efforts in order to be paid for sponsoring other people and teaching them how to run their own business.  By duplicating the efforts of top Ambassadors, others can become successful selling the products as well.

There are also many tax advantages for owning your own business and becoming a Plexus Ambassador.  It is definitely a people-to-peopel business that can expand your circle of friends.  Travel, have fun and earn income in the meantime.  The world is yours and network marketing opportunities allow you to become successful.

If you would like to learn more about Plexus or how to run your own network marketing business, please send me an email.
