I’m Diabetic – What Do I Do?
Yes! so you found out that you are a diabetic – Type 2 – so what do you do? Panic? depressed? life is over – you are thinking? you can’t eat anything from now on? Yes – we all go thru’ this stage – where we feel so lost and we don’t really know what we can do – to help ourselves. You are not alone – i went thru’ the same thing too.
If you think you are going crazy – you are not alone too – but you will survived – I did! Being a diabetic is not the end of the world ! you now have to calm yourself down – easier said than done – i know – but once you’ve gotten over your initial disbelieved that this should happen to you – someone who don’t like sweets or eat a lot of it – you will realized that diabetes can be controlled. How?
Medication – eating right and exercising ! these are the 3 things you need to combine and do it simultaneously. You can still eat some of your favorite things – but not everything in one go – meaning you cannot eat fruits, candies and then a donut all in one sitting. Everything in moderation will have to be your motto in life from now on. When you have never craved for sweets before – you now craved for it more. It’s understanding – it’s the forbidden fruit now – so if you do eat some chocolate now – don’t kill yourself and hate yourself – you will get over it – and stick to some form of resistance/routine. Of course, the other important thing to look into is your medical plan – if you don’t know if you are covered or not – it’s best you find out right away. As a Canadian resident – you can be covered by blue cross or if your income isn’t so high – you can apply for the medical assistance from the government. Check that out – more on my next post!
