Almost everyone I know has blood sugar issues and taking medication. Of course, we know why. Everything we eat has sugar. One street eatery (karenderia) I tried puts sugar in their Dinuguan, and I don't know why. Youtube videos on cooking puts sugar in all their recipes. Ridiculous.
Thank GOD my blood sugar levels are constantly normal and people ask me what my secret is. The same with my BP. I tell them about my health regimen---healthy foods, healthy lifestyle, workouts, etc.---but what I count as the real big deal is the right mindset.
Most doctors and experts say diabetes cannot be cured, it can only be managed. That mindset destroys all hope. Doctors and medical experts are good and we need them. The same with maintenance meds if you're taking them. But remember that doctors and "experts" do not know everything. They're not God that we need to take everything they say as bible truth. I'm no expert either, but GOD is.
He always has the last word on everything.
Mindset is Everything
Mindset is everything. The bible calls it faith. There's hope for healing for any illness, and I mean total healing. But first, we need to believe---because God says so. He says, "If you believe, nothing will be impossible for you," [Mark 9.23]. That mindset can keep your blood sugar normal. That's what keeps mine.
I can claim my strict health awareness and discipline are responsible. They're not. They're just an offshoot of the real reason, which is right mindset. To be specific, faith. Faith with works, faith with discipline and lifestyle. More importantly, it's faith that believes what God says alone goes---what God says is final. It's not something we just consider together with what experts say with their tests and analysis.
We listen to medical experts, take their advice and prescriptions, but we don't believe their conclusions that go against what God says. I do regular medical tests and checkups with my medical doctor but what God says and promises determines the prognosis. This mindset keeps you hoping for the best---GOD's best---and does wonders for how your body responds and behaves, especially to treatment.
A positive mind is important for healing, particularly for making our body respond well to medication and other treatments we get. Depression, anxiety, and a mind that expects no cure---any doctor will agree---are serious obstacles to recovery, much less, cure. Medicines may even fail with a negative spirit that limits itself to mere illness management, which is maintaining and petting the illness, not getting rid of it.
If we think otherwise and believe more what doctors say than GOD, the Author of Life and healing, then HE makes sure we get what we prefer to have faith in. He will do to us as our faith or mindset insists.
According to your faith (or mindset) it will be done to you. [Matthew 9.29]
