Let's help Jane cope with her diabetes journey
Welcome friends to my page.
Lets go pay Jane a visit and see how she's doing its been a while.
Who is Jane?
Jane is a friend of mine who was suddenly diagnosed of diabetes millitus and she has to find a way to cope with the situation.
Am a nurse and i think i can help her cope with her situation, so lets see what i can do to help her.
Firstly i have help Jane understand that diabetes is not a death sentence or a medical condition that can't be managed but with diet and medications she can live long and also enjoy life.
So i will reassure Jane my friend and let her know that am always by her side anytime anyday.
Jane lets go for exercise and lets check what you eat
At this point i have been able to convince Jane that exercise and diet will help her cope with her situation.
Engaging in exercise will help her reduce her glucose level and build her body sensitivity to insulin.
It will also balance her body cholesterol and blood pressure and help her remian healthy, it will help her keep fit, no cardio issue.
And am sure Jane wants to remian healthy.
Lets check Jane's kitchen and see what she has,
Okay shes trying but she needs to do more
For a diabetic patient to cope she needs to seriously pay attention to her diet because once she's into much carbohydrates intake it will be difficult for her to control her glucose level.
Jane have to reduce her carbohydrates intake and increase her carbs, vegetable and proteins.
Should i tell Jane about the complications of diabetes?
Some completely of diabetes are heart failur, kidney failure, liver disease and many more and all this can lead to death.
I don't want Jane to die so i have to tell her what she will face if she doesn't take precautions over her health issues.
I will let her see the reasons why she should watch her diet and engage in exercise.
She also needs to know the importance of checking her glucose level on daily basis so as to know when to take her medicine.
I will be a bad friend if i hide the information from her.
Jane's Emotions is involved
It is easy to wake up one morning and see that all the food you love you can't eat them again.
Jane is physically and emotionally stressed because not just changed of lifestyle and food but also the fact that she needs to be visiting the hospital for check up so its really hard to deal with.
Jane needs me, so i will make myself available to always help in any little way i can , i can even follow her to the hospital this will make her a little bit relaxed.
Dose Jane need group support?
Jane is not a social person so she might not like it, but i will advise her to attend some diabetes seminar so that she can meet with some friends who have been managing the condition for years and learn more about how to cope.
Conclusively Jane needs more love from her family members now than ever.
But in all this what is diabetes millitus? That will be a topic for my next discussion stay tuned.
Hello @beauty197 it is a pleasure for us to have you active in our initiatives. Your participation always generates contribution, we thank you for your commitment.
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease of chronic evolution, which can be free of complications, when it is controlled and for this, 99% is the responsibility of the person who suffers from it.
With Jane's story, you describe the measures to be taken to avoid the complications associated with this disease.
As you express it, strengthened by your experience as health personnel, it is vital to adjust the diet, exercise and periodic check-ups with specialized personnel. Also, the solidarity that should exist to help friends who present this disease and the commitment that should arise in the family.
It would be beneficial that upon the debut (appearance) of a case of DM in a family group, the alarms are triggered and all the members of that family group perform a self-assessment of the presence of risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, inadequate diet (high in carbohydrates, high in saturated fats, deficient in fiber and low in vegetables), smoking, obesity, alcohol, etc.
Perhaps many of our readers, again mention diet, exercise, etc., again. It is mentioned because it is the reality, if we were careful with our styles towards healthy practices, we would extend our life in satisfactory conditions and we would act against innumerable pathologies.
Thank you for your contribution
Happy week.
This was such a good read, i have a family friend who was just diagonsed with diabetes and she isn't taking it well.
I think i need to explain better to the rest of our family that we need to give her all the love and support that she needs.
Thanks for sharing😃
Yes better explanation of her situation will help her, and care and attention is needed for her to cope.
This is really inspiring, I hope Jane gets all the help she needs and sticks to her diet.
Thank you for stopping by
It is a pleasure.
I'm sure If Jane can follow this your helpful guide, she will be able to manage her diabetic condition well without entering the level of complications.
Thanks for your contribution.
Jane is definitely in safe hands with you on the team. Diabetes is a disease that requires a multidisciplinary approach from the Drs, Nurses, Nutritionist and even family members. A good knowledge of the disease is very helpful.
Thank you so much for reading my post and appreciating my efforts am grateful
