Ill Wait til it Hurts

"If it aint broke, most people dont fix it."

Do you know if you have diabetes?

Did you know type 2 diabetes symptoms only become obvious once the disease has substantially progressed?

By the time many type 2 diabetics (and often their doctors) realize action is necessary, the disease, with its destructive high blood sugars, has been silently damaging their body for years.

Complications to the blood vessels and tissues of your eyes, feet, heart, kidneys, and other organs, are likely well underway.

You visit the doctor because you feel bad, and you wish to feel better. You react to the symptoms of perceived illness. This is understandable, but does not allow much room for prevention or early detection of diabetes.

Of course this idea, Dont see the doctor til it hurts, comes from our busier-then-ever lifestyles. But to blame, to point fingers after the damage has started is as pointless as is the leaping bungee-jumpers complaint that his equipment has just failed. Its a little late to talk about why. Some problems are better prevented.

If you have type 2 diabetes, you know most of the time you dont feel very bad. You might think that because you dont feel very bad, it isnt very serious, and you dont have to do anything about it just now. "Ill wait til it hurts" ...You couldnt be more wrong.

Diabetes damages your body with high blood sugars. It doesnt care whether your sugars are high from type 2, type 1, or some other cause if theyre up, theyre doing damage. Type 2 diabetics who let their sugars run because they dont feel bad are doing serious damage to their eyes, kidneys, hearts, and nervous systems.

Suppose you have diabetes, and dont want the complications. Suppose you dont know you have diabetes, but youre from a high-risk group (maybe someone in your family has or had diabetes), and you want to cut the risks. Or, suppose you just want to feel better.

Its all the same Your early detection, education, and prevention work best.

Dont wait til it hurts. Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year.
