hopefully not rhetorical questions…..
Hi,
Diabetes is accepted as a deadly disease.
Why are there few resources for its emotional aspects?
How do I reduce the overwhelming feelings of all the things that I need to
do because of diabetes?
Why is diabetes used as a motivator (threat?) for changing lifestyle?
“Diabetes epidemic” has in the news over the last few years. Is it a
coincidence that diagnosis has gone from a blood sugar of 149 mg/dl TO 126
mg/dl during the same period of time?
Why are the dynamics of having diabetes or alcohol in the family so similar?
Is it reasonable for blood test meter advertisements to show readings that
are always in the “non diabetes” range?
What do you say to a person who asks how to get a relative to take care of
their diabetes?
(….the relative with diabetes is a doctor specializing in diabetes and
will not talk about his own child’s diabetes with the family.)
Denial, shame, blame, unreasonable expectations, fear, frustration, anger,
exhaustion and many others.
How can a person do “that” when the emotional aspects are not included?
Coming out of the corner,
Jim S.
