The difficult fight against the disease #04

It says: "Treating a patient without conducting systematic explanatory conversations with him does not meet the standards and is unethical."
Family support

Family support is of great importance for diabetics. One medical source even said that "the atmosphere in the family plays perhaps the most important role" in the treatment of diabetes in children and young people.

It's good when family members try to learn more about diabetes, even taking turns going to the doctors with the patient. This makes it easier for them to help the patient, because they will be able to recognize the symptoms of an exacerbation and respond to them correctly. Ted, whose wife became ill with type I diabetes at the age of 4, says: "I know exactly when Barbara's sugar drops a lot. She stops talking in the middle of a conversation, sweats a lot, suddenly gets angry, and then becomes very slow."

Ken's wife, Catherine, has also studied her husband's illnesses well. When his behavior changes, and he turns pale and sweats, Catherine asks the man simple mathematical questions. If he can't answer, then Catherine knows that she needs to take matters into her own hands and take the necessary measures quickly. Ken and Barbara really appreciate that their married partners know their illness so well, so they can rely on them.

If family members try to support the patient, are attentive and patient, this will help him fight the disease and even ease its course. Karen did not give up in the face of a terrible disease thanks to the love of a man. She says, "Nigel said:"No one can survive without food and water. And besides that, you only need a small dose of insulin." These heartfelt and sensible words turned out to be exactly what I needed."

Family members and friends should keep in mind that changes in blood sugar levels can affect the patient's mood. "When I get depressed due to a decrease in sugar," says one woman, "I shut myself in, become gloomy and irritable, although I try not to give in to negative feelings. Then I feel ashamed of my behavior. Still, when I know that others understand why I behave the way I do, it makes me feel better."

The disease of the young?

According to Dr. Arthur Rubenstein, chief endocrinologist and dean of New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, diabetes is "becoming a disease of the young." People are now becoming diabetic at an increasingly young age. "Ten years ago, we told medical students that this disease is found in people under 40," says Dr. Robin Holland, a diabetologist with type II diabetes."But today we are diagnosing it in children who are under 10."
