QUESTION: Can you Consider Yourself Healthy Having Diabetes?
Answer : YES!!
I will be the first to tell you I am. I do not believe but I know that I am. I have type 1 Diabetes and I had it since 9 years old. The only medication I have ever been on is insulin. I plan on keeping it that way. And after I had my first child I went on an insulin pump. I do have an eye problems because having Diabetes for 34 years and keeping my blood level from dropping and rising through out the day, because I am sensitive to the amount of insulin I need to take. I have been getting treatment from retinopathy. Retinopathy is a condition when extra small blood vessels forms inside ones retinas and can make the walls of the blood vessel swell and weaken. Which can cause blindness due to the leakage of the blood vessels if not treated, The causes of this is when blood level are not stable and the person have high and low blood levels, but my eyes are staple for now. I had lazer treatment to closed the leaking blood vessel. But I do not have any other problems associated with this disorder.
If you know anything about type 1 Diabetes, insulin is my life line. I can not live or function without it. And the dose I take is consider very small for an adult. My pancreas does not produce the enzyme that my body needs for energy. I am not saying I am a saint or I do not have off days because I do. But at least 95% of the time I keep on course.
IF YOU HAVE DIABETES LEAVE ME A COMMENT OR GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW YOU FEEL WITH YOUR HEALTH IN GENERAL. I BELIEVE IF PEOPLE HAVE GOOD THOUGHTS OR IDEAS ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THEIR DIABETES WE CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM IT.
