Manage Your Type 1 Diabetes and Live Life to the Fullest

Manage Your Type 1 Diabetes and Live Life to the Fullest

 

One of the deadliest diseases in the world is diabetes. It is a chronic medical condition where the body's pancreas malfunctions. Ignoring it leads to very serious complications, especially to the kidneys, liver, and heart. It may even cause death.

 

There are two known types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. The former is commonly influenced by two things. These are genetics and certain viruses.

 

Though type 1 diabetes affects men and women of any age, it is more common among young adults and children. This explains why it is sometimes known as juvenile diabetes. Today, 1 in 400 adolescents and kids are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes each year.

 

Unfortunately, there is no cure for available for type 1 diabetes, but it is very manageable. A lot of the kids function as if they do not have the illness and live comfortably all the way to old age.

 

What to Do

 

Work closely with your physician.

 

Because of the different complications that can happen if you do not effectively manage your type 1 diabetes, it becomes mandatory that you see your doctor regularly. Make yourself available for an annual thorough physical exam, especially exams for your eyes, liver, kidney, and heart.

 

Make your illness known.

 

You cannot afford to have a very low blood sugar, as it may lead to coma or death. That is why you have to make your disease known. The trend these days is to carry a card or to wear a bracelet that says you are a diabetic patient. You also need to carry a glucagon kit with you at all times, with accurate and up-to-date instructions on how to use the supply in case someone else needs to treat you.

 

Manage your stress.

 

A diabetes sufferer should avoid going through extreme stress. It causes immune system impairment, and it is more difficult to take care of yourself. Stress also causes high blood pressure, which should be seriously controlled when you have type 1 diabetes.

 

Take time to relax every day. Go for jobs that are less strenuous, sleep early, and meditate. Reduce anxiety and depression.

 

Use affirmations. Diabetes management requires commitment and time, and sometimes you find yourself ready to give up. Change the way you think. You can do so by using subliminal messages.

 

Subliminal messages are normally positive statements that aim to overpower the negative emotion and thinking. They are best used together with visualization.

 

Avoid hurting your feet. Your feet are often subjected to the ill effects of the disease. Sores and wounds do not heal because of the body's inability to do so. However, because they are in the lower extremities, they are not immediately noticed by the sufferer. By the time they do, gangrene has already set in, and it is futile to save the damaged feet.

 

Maintain an ideal weight for your body. Obesity adds more pressure to your heart, kidney, and liver. Coordinate with your doctor or nutritionist on the best weight management for you.
