Why we should get rid of diabetes at home?

Why we should do this?

If you have read my last post then you are clear what is this all about.

Still I will try to expand it. See diabetes as I already expressed is one disease which can drain the economy of individual, family, society of that matter even the nation. SO considering the fact the amount of pressure each individual will be under going due to diabetes its worth getting rid of it from the family.

If it is not possible to get rid of the evil then even prevention of complication of the same is worth the time effort put into.

I would just like to give an example so that you can understand why you should be planning to get rid of diabetes from the family?

Think of a situation where a bread earning member of the family get diabetes and lands up with a complication and he or she is not working for Govt, means no work no salary or income. SO if that person gets a complication and unable to go for work for 15 days or so just think what may be happening in that family for daily requirements and just think of the small kids if any and elderly if they are dependent the diseased member.

Every one will be shattered from normal life. This is an example which just shows the tip of most dreaded disease among the non communicable diseases. So beware the non sense and get rid of it from today.

Good Luck

Can Diabetes be your problem at home?

Can Diabetes be your problem at home? If you can answer this question then your knowledge of diabetes should be more than average. That how I predict when some one speaks about diabetes. Why I say so? Its quite obvious one who knows about diabetes also knows how much it can affect anyone’s family when it comes to agony and economy.

If you got the clue that’s fine if not read on to know how diabetes can create havoc at anyone’s home.

Just think about a family with five members with one earning head. Usually it comprises of husband and wife with three kids or two parents and one kid or for that matter any other combination. One Earning member may be husband or wife.

If a earning member gets diabetes then just think of how much man hour wasted and money wasted by not getting productive during the wasted time. So you balance is tilted to negative side. This is only talking about the investigations and consultation for the disease. If unfortunately the earning member gets stuck in diabetes complication whole family economy goes to hell and other members are nowhere.

I am just giving example of one incidence, which can be devastating anyone’s family. Just because your family don’t have diabetes doesn’t make you immune to diabetes. Be vigilant learn more about the risks and other controlling factors to live happily and safely with diabetes if it even happens in your life.

Look out for my next post “Why we should get rid of diabetes at home”. Till then see you bye.

Think about Diabetes Globally but Act Locally

If you cannot think about diabetes globally then there is no way you going help the people or your self. Why so? Because diabetes have no boundaries to stop it from dominating the whole world as king of diseases. Once people thought its disease of rich and time has proved it wrong.

Why I am asking you to think globally about diabetes, because only by this you can have link with worldwide trends in diabetes and you or your family members or friends will be benefited. If you know whats up against diabetes and when a situation wants some thing similar then you can use it other wise you will be lost in dark.

Don't expect all professionals to be up-to-date on each every aspect of recent trends as no one so much interested in a disease as much as a true patient and researcher is. So keep your eyes and ears open for global trends and use them locally to fight diabetes locally. This will help you to do many things better when compared to those who don't follow it.

I repeat here " Think about Diabetes Globally and act Locally"

When Diabetes Became a Global Problem

Can you imagine a global problem with local effects, which can be as devastating as any economic crisis, affecting each and every part of society? If you can then think of diabetes prevention otherwise land up in crisis.

Am I hyping about diabetes?

Certainly not try to understand the basis of diabetes it is a disease with so many factors to consider from start to end, you can call it as King of all non communicable disease and also best friend of opportunist infections (here is post about the same).

A diabetic emergency can ruin the whole family economy so be careful and be advised about prevention of the same. Never neglect the unusual symptoms that appear in a diabetic patient.

Why I called it as a global problem?

Since the lifestyle of the whole world changed the diabetes shown its dominance. I doubt people will understand the need for change in lifestyle until unless the society by itself wakes up to combat diabetes. So it has slowly creping into all parts of world and as the people started living longer it has shown more dominance. So think of those old people who already have lower immunity than the younger population and burdened with diabetes - its going to be disaster.

Join hands with others to fight diabetes otherwise future generation going to face the music.

Diabetes treatment - Kindly reject non-scientific treatment

If you are really worried about diabetes and its treatment hen I request you not to follow any non scientific based treatment and reject it straight away, at the same time encourage your friends and relatives to reject non scientific treatment of diabetes. Why I am stressing so much about this, kindly read this full article.

Diabetic treatment has grown in its scientific ways as the human mankind started to understand the disease. There was an era where every thing was experience based. The same was applied to many people and trial and error method created a symptomology complex that used to be diagnostic of diabetes (they might have called with what ever the name they could give that time). Means no body was sure what the problem with diabetic but they were having rough knowledge about the same and they were knowing that the type of life suits diabetic and the herbs or materials which helped diabetic, this doesn't mean that the treatment was proven and the best.

Today even after the diabetes was understood; research has not stopped because of the very nature of diabetic so many variations and so many other things coming as surprise to mankind. Why I am telling all these non-sense you know? Because I want you to understand diabetes is not an disease which has been completely understood by science faculty till today, but day by day its progressing from treatment of diabetic control to cure (till today no treatment has proved to be cure diabetes).

So that is the reason, until unless the treatment is proved by the science that the treatment is worth what it is, don't use it. Reject that diabetic treatment. They may just harm you directly or indirectly in the form of ill health or financial loss. Prevent yourselves from unproven treatments and claims of diabetic cure, ask them who claim that to prove it to world by using science rather than claiming the unknown.

Hope you understand my concerns about the non-scientific treatment and do the correct thing for healthier life and better world. See you Soon with more on diabetes.

Lovers of diabetes exploit and discard YOU

The statement is 100% fact and if you don't know this then kindly read, so that you will be ready to fight back or you can help some one to fight back the so called opportunistic lovers of diabetes.

Yes when i used the word diabetic lover I am using them correctly, because you may be thinking who loves diabetic? what a nonsense. But it make sense when you see a diabetic suffering from fungal infection or some other life threatening infection.

Yes the opportunistic infections are the one which are fit to be called as "diabetic lovers". They love so much that even an healthy individual is at high risk of death with diabetes if not treated in time. They love diabets because it helps there growth uninteruppted in an living person which is against the rule of human body. Human body keeps a check on most of the organisms present on its body and inside the gut but diabetic lover are those opportunist infections that wait till the balance is disturbed and grow in excess and makes life misserable.

Watch for next post I will try to cover some more aspects of the topic, till then bye.

Why diabetic need more social support?

DO diabetic need social support? I feel so why you know, this disease is one only going to affect the individual on the surface but it has an significant effect on the society in deeper aspects.

Every one is shouting, crying to stop HIV and other disease why you know it can spread from one to other which diabetes doesn't do so every one is not ready to take it as a threat to them. Every one thinks its a personal problem, even though it has an social aspect to it and all diabetic need to be on treatment in one or the other forms.

Why I am talking about social support to diabetic, how it matters the patient?

It can make a difference on the amount of money spend by individual for treatment, it can minimize the agony the preson under goes on diagnosis, helps in preventive initiatives for better living with diabetes, so many aspects which cannot be told in a go.

So in my opinion diabetes needs to be addressed in a much socialogicaly than purely on medical grounds. This will help us in reducing future burden of diabetes on human mankind.

Why we try to hide our diabetic status?

Yes my question is quite clear, why we try to hide our diabetic status? Don't get confused about the question, this question is all about hiding self from ourselves. What that means? It means most of us not ready to accept that we are prone for diabetic or on verge of getting diabetes not only that even after test to be in diabetic range we are not ready to accept that we have diabetes. Why we do so?

Answer is quite clear. Its our mind which always wanted to eat a lavish food and comfort of the exercise less life now not ready to accept that the same behaviour is making it to be called as "Diabetic".

If you analyse it then you understand how badly we are acustomed to comforts which make us vulnarable to diabetes. For example, who don't likes the life style of getting up at 0900 hr and having a good breakfast with a cup of milk rich coffee or a tea? Who don't like a life without exercise and physical hardwork? Sp in ohterwords most of us like a life which is less physical and more of comforts, so that we can be predisposed to diabetes. These things has to be stopped once you are diagnosed as an diabetic so you would like be non diabetic even though diabetic for the continuation of comforts in which you are living. This makes us to hide our diabetic status from ourselves. What an irony - so called self becoming enemy of self.

I will speakout in feature post how to get rid of this mentality to accept the reality. Good Luck

Diabetes Mellitus - A challenge to Human Mankind

Diabetes Mellitus has been defined in many ways in formats and mediums ultimately what matters is simpler meaning for simpler understandings for better & healthy life. I call here it as a challenge to human mankind because it is known to humans for many many centuries and still science is fighting the problem. Even after so much of research of disease we are finding difficult to handle the disease smoothly, may be because each human is unique so disease is.

One of the simpler definition I could give you to read is already written here
http://www.answers.com/diabetes . I don't want to reinvent the wheel you can see the definition in the link provided.

My blogging on this topic is not for explaining diabetes, its mainly patient oriented topics or clues or tips for better living with diabetes mellitus. This may go from one topic to other in some posts but over all it will be purely on diabetic patient's life oriented topics.

There are many topics which remians unanswered in many ways to a patient foe one or the other reasons. Many diabetic patients fail to understand the disease purely because of lack of communication between them and treating doctor. Added to this may be more and more commercialization of treatment aspect added the fuel to evil known as ignorance.

Even though there are many organizations which are fighting diabetes in many levels its difficult to point out how much they are helping the patients by enlarge. May be because of ignorance of patient or beacause the information put forward may not be of patients level to undersatnd the importance. This site is an authority on diabetes without any doubt
http://www.diabetes.org
But still people may fail to understand it so I would like to dive download to patients level to spill out the knowledge I have for the benifit of all those in need.

Thanks
