For the newbies on here.
This letter was put together by me some time
ago.<br
and I think good advice. I’m diabetic for 41 years
and still kicking.<br
GUIDELINES FOR DIABETICS. (Print and hang up on the fridge
door.)<br
and not sticking to the rules! You<br
anything now but it sure as hell will get you later.
Diabetes will give you time to live, under what
circumstances, is up to how you control your diabetes right FROM
THE START!! A good life can be had, having
diabetes!!!!! <br
that will give you a good diet to live by, preventing
heart disease, preventing to be overweight and because
you are forced to do your exercise you will remain
slim or slimmer than you would be, if you carried on
the old way.<br
this. Nothing comes without effort. You will ALWAYS
have to stick to your diet, you will ALWAYS have to
take your medication at THE SAME TIME, you will
ALWAYS<br
your BLOODSUGAR so that you know you<br
as possible where you want to be. Keep complete
records of your testing.<br
don’t want to hear! No matter how well you stick to the
rules you will run into regular disappoinments, to the
point that you may want to pull the hair out of your
head, because good adherance to the rules doesn’t
ALWAYS results into good control of your
diabetes.<br
rules you will run into complications of diabetes that
could shorten your life. It could blind you, kidney
failure will make you have to experience dialysis, you
could lose toes, feet and yes even legs! I could go on
and on , but look at it this way, where ever you
blood flows to, trouble can occur.<br
an end here,….. if you stick to the rules, your
life can be a pleasant experience in spite of
disappointments, and you will avoid all or most of the
complications.<br
discipline in your everyday life. A big chance to live
longer and better than you would possibly have had
without it! <br
