Living Beyond Diabetes
Introduction
Diabetes develops gradually in a person, impacting the body's systems bit by bit until the pancreas and other organs no longer work in harmony. This results in decreased insulin activity and altered fat and protein metabolism, leading to poor circulation in the eyes and kidneys. Just like the old song goes?""the foot bone connected to the ankle bone"?"a problem in one area affects the entire body, and in the case of diabetes, these effects can be life-threatening.
The Scope of Diabetes
In the United States alone, over 18 million people suffer from diabetes, which accounts for nearly 7% of the population, many of whom are still unaware of their condition. People of all ages, from infants to senior citizens, are affected. Managing diabetes requires a comprehensive approach involving diet, exercise, and insulin management. The key word here is balance; it governs every aspect of a diabetic's life.
The Challenge of Diet
Diet presents a significant challenge due to the body's craving for sweets. While milder forms of diabetes may be managed by diet alone, avoiding additional insulin, each individual's dietary needs must be balanced with the right mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Maintaining appropriate acid and pH levels is also crucial. However, it's not always easy to give up those tempting sugary drinks. For diabetics, avoiding white foods is typically advised, while fresh vegetables become essential for a healthy life.
The Unique Characteristics of Diabetics
Diabetics often possess distinct personalities, frequently belonging to the creatively inclined segment of the population. They tend to think holistically rather than focusing on details, enjoying the start of projects but sometimes struggling to complete them. Their creativity can manifest in ways that might seem disorganized to others, akin to the Ugly Duckling story. Diabetics may struggle with self-respect and self-esteem, feeling different from those around them.
Despite this, their remarkable thinking abilities are invaluable in crises, as they excel when addressing one issue at a time. However, with too many options, like when a car won’t start, the stress can feel overwhelming. In such cases, a diabetic might feel equally likely to reach out for emotional support as to call a mechanic.
Embracing Life with Diabetes
Living with diabetes?"or with someone who has it?"means recognizing the inherent differences in personality functioning. It’s important to emphasize positive traits and accept a bit of disorder. Respect the body’s wisdom when it signals the need for rest. This is a lesson often overlooked by non-diabetics. Those with diabetes often lead the way, teaching us how to truly appreciate and maximize the human experience.
