Life with diabetes III

Hi again,

Let us discuss more about life with diabetes.

Pregnancy:

A great care has to be given to a diabetic pregnant woman. She must get advice of a doctor. At one time, diabetes was a grave risk factor for diabetic women. The incidence of abortion or death of either the child or themother was very high. The discovery of insulin has considerably trasformed the situation. Even then, it is not easy for a diabetic women to first conceive and then give birth to a healthy baby at the right time. Difficulties can however be kept to minimize with an expert gynaecologist's care.

Surgery:

Many people harbour a false notion that diabetics cannot undergo a surgery without risks to their lives. In fact, any operation can be safely and successfully carried out if the diabetes is well controlled.

In conclusion it can be said that a clear understanding of the disease and effective medicines available today enable the diabetic to lead an almost normal life. He/she can under certain limits, play all sports, perform all activites and enjoy life. In many countries, there are special associations of diabetics, which arrange entertainment programmes and get-togethers for diabetics, hold sports competitions and keep the members appraised of new developments in the understanding and the treatment of the disease.

Come and let us accept the challenge posed by diabetes. If we obtain a correct understanding of the disease, we need not fear it, nor need we allow it to interfere with our normal life.

Thanks,
