Dealing with Diabetes (Types, Symptoms, Diet, and after Effects)

Improper diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of diabetes. This is not a disease of a special age group; every one from the category (New-born to 85 year old) can have diabetes. The diabetes started off with common (ignore able) symptoms but left untreated very dangerous symptoms, which sometimes can cause a very irreversible loss to our dears lives. The common diabetes symptoms includes, dizziness, lack of interest, excess urination, burning of the feet, headache, etc…. but someone who have un cured diabetes say 15---20 years old then he or she can have the severe symptoms like Heart Attack, Blindness, Kidney failure, Brain hamerages and sometimes death.

In South Asian region even in Pakistan it is very common disease the popular television star, Zeba Bakhtiar, and famous cricketer Wasim Akram was diagnosed with diabetes in their early ages. It took several months before either star was diagnosed with the disease. Both had experienced symptoms like frequent urination, blurry vision, and dizziness, but neither had a family history of the disease. When the diagnosis was finalized, and they were found that they have suffered with a silent killer disease (Diabetes), both stars suffered from a very severe psychological stress, but soon they realize that this is not the end of life, they both know that this disease demands a complete change in life style. Although it is very difficult to change the life style at once but there were no other options………

As diabetes demands a complete lifestyle change, it is often a difficult disease to come to terms with - both physically and emotionally. Below is the example of a young lady who dealt with diabetes with great courage…..

“A 32 year young lady had diabetes in the age when she was just 24 years old; the disease was diagnosed when she had a fainting spell and blurry vision. Just after the diagnosis of the diabetes she comes under psychological stress she thought that she wouldn’t be able to have her babies, and no one in Pakistan would marry her, Although her fear proved unwarranted, the now mother of two children says that she don’t have a fear of diabetes and from last 6 years she is taking insulin injections, Walk (Approximately 3---5 Km Daily), Control on her diet, and a proper calorie count, and she had managed her diabetes”

So, undoubtedly, life with diabetes calls for strict vigilance and rigorous self-discipline. Eating right and exercising are essential for a healthier life in all respects, especially since the disease is currently incurable
