When you were first told that
you had diabetes, do you remember how you felt?
Do you
remember feeling shocked or angry?
Were
you certain that there was some kind of mistake?
Perhaps you lashed out at those you
love most .....or at your doctor.
It was
likely frustration, grief, or even anger that fueled such
outbursts. You may have
been angry at your doctor for not finding out sooner, or angry at
yourself for all that weight you had gained, or, perhaps, you felt
“down,” sad, depressed, and/or a sense of loss. Whatever you felt, it
probably was not the a real positive moment for you.
Since that time, you may have been through some other medical
tests, started on some new medications, been told to “eat better,”
and to exercise.
But....did anyone actually explain:
Ø
what those test results really mean?
Ø what those
test results “should” be and how to get them to that target
level?
Ø
the action(s) of your medicine and the best
time and way to take them in relation to meals, exercise, and
sleep?
Ø
exactly what “eating better” consists of?
Ø
what kind, how much, and how hard to
exercise?
Ø
safety precautions regarding exercise, meals,
and medication?
Ø
whether or not there is a cure for
diabetes?
Don't you wish that you had answers to the many questions
that you face each day regarding taking care of yourself? Diabetes education has been
providing answers to those questions and many others for about 25
years now. Most
diabetes educators work in a hospital or Diabetes
Center. However, even people
who have previously attended classes will occasionally run into
situations that are frustrating. For example, doesn't it just
make you want to scream when you follow the doctor's instructions to
the letter about something, i.e. like how often to test your blood
glucose (BG) at home, and then the doctor never even asks to see the
test results? If the
doctor does look at the blood glucose (BG) values, does he ever
suggest anything other than “more medicine?” Have you ever wondered,
“isn't there another way?”
