I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic in 2008.
Before going any further, let me make two things absolutely clear.
I greatly admire so called “affiliate marketers”, and this is not intended to make detrimantal comments about those who are ethical in their approach.
Secondly, I do a small amount of affiliate marketing myself, but I don’t promote anything to do with what I write about most – diabetes. Not a product, not an eBook, nothing.
Type 2 diabetes is where a person’s body becomes resistant to the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas. Some people control it by adjusting their diet, others by diet and medication, and others by diet, medication and injections of insulin.
What I get treally upset about, is that there are some people out there who see diabetics as an easy target to make money. This often occurs on line in the field of affiliate marketing. In countries where diabetic drugs are expensive, the temptation of the latest secret “wonder product” that will “cure diabetes” and save money is often very persuasive.
Such people makes claims that border on the libellous. I read a sales page lately that claimed this wonder drug was “100% natural” (surprise, surprise), and that the medical world had covered it up. They had done this because they make money out of diabetics by charging for drugs etc.
So the temptation is to buy this product, because it will save you a fortune on doctor’s bills and medication.
It was a great sales page, which didn’t encourage the obvious questions like “is it safe?” or “how has it been tested?” or even “what if it doesn’t work?”.
There is no cure for diabetes. Fact.
Because diabetes can be managed well, and life expectancy is good, drugs can be expensive, and you have to live with this expense for many years as a diabetic.
However, the consequences of not treating diabetes are serious and include renal failure and blindness. With this at stake, is it really a good idea to buy into quackery?
Beware when you read phrases on the sales page of “my wife shed tears of joy…….”
One of the things the writer has enjoyed since having diabetes, is learning to play the guitar. Toby has bought a couple of guitars, one of which is an Ovation, specially shaped to fir the abdomen, which makes it more comfortable for him to play.
