Answers:
Diabetes is a disorder and not a disease. It is due the the hyperglycemia results from defects in insulin secretion,insulin action or both. The mainstay of controlling it is appropriate diet, optimization of body weight, and regular exercise complimented with drug therapy if necessary. Type 2 diabetes is closely related to life style. The diabetic who knows about his illness lives longest. Patient education regarding the diabetes is a must. Diabetes is a chronic disorder and in a long drawn battle as a diabetic you have to face many ups and downs. If you understand your disorder you can live a happy healthy life. Keep it under con troll and you need not worry about the diabetes. It is not bad as you think.
Why don't you celebrate your victory over disease by eatng a nice big box of chocolates.
