Denial and difficulty in Diabetes management

Denial mode in which a person and his or her family comes to a doctor is very important factor which makes patient management by their doctor difficult. It is known that very one wants to be healthy form whole time of their life but its unfortunately natural to have one or the other disease with varying intensities. Even the most healthiest person if under goes a whole body screening he or she will have something which not absolutely normal, but may be it will be in functionally acceptable condition (that we call as normal).

What we are trying to impress is that very one wants to be normal but due to there genetic make-up and its response to environmental factors and age + lifestyle one or the other disease will come-up, it is true for even diabetic patient. This aspect of disease is not acceptable to many of the patients and they go into denial mode where they don't accept that they have a problem called diabetes and even if they have it they continue to doubt the diagnosis of the same. By doing this they are actually asking for trouble. As all of us know any disease treatment involves not only medication but also lifestyle changes along with plus or minus dietary changes.

Now the Problem is here - till the patient is in denial mode for diabetes his or her dietary changes and lifestyle modifications including exercises are not going to be very disciplined and loses the initial control advantage, which could be very useful in anyone's postponement of complications of diabetes and other disease.

Here is the role of Physician to make the patient and their family members to understand the problem and get them out of the denial mode so that they can put there 100% efforts in fighting the disease and take control of the disease in their youth to live long healthily

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.

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.
