Ive been T2 for approx 12 years and must admit at the beginning looked on it more as an inconvenience rather than a serious illness but as time went on I realised the serious side effects. One of my freinds husband has severe neuropathy and needs crutches and morphine to control the pain and a neighbour lost his foot to T2 My daughters take it seriously but other family members don’t seem to think it’s that serious and just that I don’t eat sugar
So why when I’ve received 2 huge boxes of chocolates for Christmas have they joked ‘oh that won’t do your sugars much good’. Ive told them all for years about not buying me chocolates or sweet things .
If I was alcoholic I’m sure they wouldn’t buy me a bottle of whiskey and joke that it wouldn’t do my liver any good. But year upon year I tell them I’ll give my grandkids the chocs and they still don’t listen.
I really think some serious advertising needs to be done to educate the public of the consequences of this disease. Rant over now
