Diabetes is a silent killer, and it can just lay there and we don’t know we have a combination of one of the worst medical disorders that anyone could possibly have. It is like a lion laying in the grass waiting to pounce and take its prey. If we don’t know we have a problem, then how can we know what to do?
Most people don’t suspect that they have diabetes until they have the fuzzies and the unquenchable thirst. If we are men, we put it off for awhile, and then discount it as just feeling a bit off. If we are a woman we are off to visit the doctor, asking the questions as to why we are not feeling well, after all, menopause has come and gone, years earlier.
Being a diabetic can be many things, and it can ruin our whole life, and can make us dependent on many things. It can mean that we have
High blood pressure High cholesterol Heart pains Kidneys are not working; It can mean that we are having trouble seeing, eyes not working.
It can mean that a lot of things are about to come crashing down, all at once, lots of little things on their own are generally not such a problem, but together, are major.
We justify this by saying that we have never been sick in our life, so what has changed?
That lion is about to take away an eye, a toe or a leg or even we kidney. The loss of sight, amputation of limbs or kidney dialysis can be mighty inconvenient.
Diabetes is a silent killer, big time. It is associated with lots of little vague symptoms; diabetes generally doesn’t kill us suddenly, although the side effects of heart attacks and strokes might. Diabetes won’t kill us straight away, but it will over time, gradually causing damage to many parts of our body including many organs that give us life. Many people, who are on the verge of diabetes, do not know what is happening, until they get over the limit. Hypertension/high blood pressure and cholesterol are the main problems and often associated with excess weight.
If our diabetes is bad enough, we will be on insulin, along with other medication to bring our cholesterol and high blood pressure under control. Some of the medications are considered to become part of our life, forever.
Many years ago people died because of diabetes, and in many third world countries today, people continue to die directly because of diabetes. Today people in third world countries cannot afford the medication so they die of complications. In the western world people have access to medication including insulin even though, the cost might be high?
Managing our diabetes becomes extremely important. To achieve a reasonable lifestyle it is important that things are working they way they were designed in our body. We need to be aware of our heart and our blood. We need to be aware of the pressure that our heart and our kidneys have been put under if we don’t have a low cholesterol count. The heart is put under extreme pressure pushing that thickened contaminated blood through our bodies.
Clogged arteries mean that the blood doesn’t get to the extremities of the body. When blood doesn’t circulate to a particular area, that part dies, meaning we lose our eye sight, face amputation of toes and legs and we experience numbness in our limbs. It can and often does cause of erectile dysfunction in men. Then there is kidney failure because the poor kidneys are the filter of the body, they just cannot work any harder trying to filter the garbage out of the blood, among their many other functions.
I cannot stress the importance of taking the prescribed medication, monitoring blood sugar levels and blood pressure. We must change our lifestyle. There is a cure.
DON’T LET THIS SILENT KILLER RUN YOUR LIFE, CHANGE IT AROUND
YOU CAN DO IT
