Diabetes is a silent killer. A lot of people may have this disease and not even know about it.
My ex-fatband has Diabetes and it is to the point that it consums his life. I mean he has to be on a special diet, watching what he eats and drinks. Takes the insulin shots and monitors his blood sugars daily.
Of course he has other symptoms now of the disease as he is getting older. His feet and joints are now bothering him and the worse, his eye sight. A lot of what is going on with him could have been prevented with much better
Diabetes Management. No, he did not eat like he was supposed to. He still does not take very good care of him self. Lacking in a good food regime and exercise program the Diabetes has now control over him instead of the other way around. It is sad to see because most of this with better care in the past would have been prevented.
I would strongly urge those that have Diabetes to listen to their doctors and follow the plans they give you to the T. Taking Diabetes seriously will help you to live a long and healthier life.
