With diabetes I should have been monitoring my blood glucose levels closely. All the years that I let it go mainly living in denial, cost me pain and money with costly cataract surgery. I was told the reason why at 55 years of age in had progressive cataracts was due to diabetes, by not one doctor but several. The reason I am writing this is not to make a personal confession, but to let everyone realize the importance of being checked for diabetes, and if there is any indication of elevated blood sugars, start doing something about it before it's too late. In my situation it wasn't so serious that it couldn't be corrected, but kidney failure, heart disease and many more illnesses that are associated with diabetes, one cannot take a diagnosis of type II diabetes as not serious. Medication, diet and exercise are the main practices that will defend against any serious disease of diabetes. Diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be control.
