Diabetes Information-Confessions of a Type 2 Diabetic-Part Five-Why be a Control Freak?

Okay so the verdict is in. You've got Type 2 Diabetes. What do you do? One of the very first things you need to do is to develop a game plan to gain control of this insidious disease. You need to become a CONTROL FREAK.

Why you ask? The disease at this stage doesn't seem all that threatening.

"I feel fine. My weight and blood pressure are up a little but so what? That's normal at my age. I have noticed I have become less active too." All are comments you are likely to hear from someone who has just found out they are the latest victim. The normal tendency is to ignore the disease. That, my friends, is a BIG MISTAKE.

The reasons for getting control early on are numerous. The basic one is 'quality of life'. If you have any desire at all to have a decent quality of life thru your later years then you need to learn how to become a control freak.

Diabetes has been linked to heart disease and stroke, male impotence, loss of limbs, loss of eyesight, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, kidney disease, nerve damage especially in the extremities of hands and feet, infections and other illnesses.

In short it WILL KILL YOU. As sure as you are sitting there reading this, if you don't act Diabetes will kill you in umpteen different ways. Is that motivation enough?

If not, then it will ruin your quality of life to a point where you require either hospitalization or make an invalid out of you. How's that sound? I am not trying to scare you-oops yes I am! It is devastating to get the complications from the 'BIG D.'

So get control early and stay in control. It will prolong your life and make your quality of life much better than the alternative.

Don't forget to leave me feedback. I welcome your comments.
