Life with diabetes II
Hi Friends,
Let us further continue to our previous post.
Education:
Child or young diabetics find no difficulty at all in pursuing education. Their intelligence and memory are no way inferior to those of other healthy students.
It is desirable that the class teacher and a few close friends of the diabetic student know that he/she has the disease and also know about the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Household chores:
A diabetic women can easily do all the household work herself. She should refrain from visiting relatives too frequently, where she may have to give into her host's insistence to eat or drink prohibited preparations.
Job/Business:
A diabetic can usually follow any kind of job or business to earn his living. It would be desirable that a few of his colleagues know about his disease and the steps to be taken in an emergency.
Marriages, parties, restaurants etc.:
A diabetic can take part in any function of his choice. Infact, he/she must remain careful about his diet. It is natural that the host may, cout of courtesy, insist on his having certain dishes or foods. But the diabetic should politely refuse without making too much fuss (he/she must remember what his/her doctor has adviced for curing diabetes)
Sports:
Juvenile as well as adult diabetics can participate in sports regularly or occassionally. However care should be taken to prevent blood sugar level from dropping too low. An untoward incident can be prevented by having immediately before the start of the sport, a snack which would provide easily and rapidaly digestible carbohydrates.
Other illness:
Like other people, diabetics too may suffer from other routine illnesses. Medicines taken for those illnesses may affect the blood sugar level or may interfere with anti diabetic drugs. A diabetic patient must consult his/her doctor for taking other medicines.
Driving a Vehicle:
Driving and Maintaining a vehicle is one of the important part of life. A diabetic should remain careful while driving. It is desirable that patients whose blood sugar level fluctuates wildly (unstable or brittle diabetes) refrain from driving. This would prevent a diabetic from an accident on the road.
We hope you gain some knowledge.
Thanks,
