Teaching and Motivating Diabetics Effectively is The Answer to Improving Outcome
from Your Lot and Parcel · host Benjamin Diaz/Chet Galaska, Challenge Diabetes Program Director, Author
My guest says that millions of diabetics do not treat their disease well, if at all. Why is this? To find out, they listened to people with diabetes. They provided insights and CDP developed answers.A big problem is rampant misinformation that causes an unfair stigma. For example, people believe diabetics bring the disease on themselves by being overweight, sedentary and/or eating too much sugar. It is initiated when a genetic predisposition encounters an environmental trigger. Even so, society points its finger, and many diabetics feel guilt and shame. One way to escape this is denial. Since Type 2 symptoms are tolerable for years, it is easy to ignore them until complications arise. Too many diabetics do this, suffer the consequences, and die early. https://challengediabetes.us/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
