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
