Diabetes is a silent partner of many people, for example, a person with diabetes spends the day making calculations in their head and being aware of their blood sugar levels, which is a constant effort.If you have a friend in this situation, we give you some tips so you don't put your leg when you talk to him or her.

Can you eat that?

Never, never, never judge your friend with diabetes when he is eating something.He himself will be the first person to have what he can or may not take and how that will affect him.Different situation is to inform about the things about the table and point meals such as honey or sauces with a lot of carbohydrate load.Do not prejudge, inform and help.

you have diabetes because you ate a little child

Diabetes does not arise due to obesity or eating badly.Yes, they can be risk factors, but it is ugly to presuppose that a person has ended up ill.This chronic condition arises from a failure within the body itself that ends up attacking the pancreas.The organism injures itself and that does not influence any action of the person.There are different types of diabetes and different nuances to take into account, but do not blame your friend for their autoimmune illness: it was not for eating many sweets.

Can you measure sugar?

In the case of glucometers, the wand does not choose the magician, but under all circumstances must be exclusive to the diabetic in question.Measure blood sugar is a mechanical activity, tedious and somewhat annoying, but the data is very relevant to medical control.It is not a curiosity to prove with whoever, since the mixture of data, however small, can be a false interpretation of what happens in the body of the sick person.In addition, glucose sensors proliferate today to measure themselves directly from the mobile, and those cannot be shared!

What luck you are so thin

Delgadeness because of a disease is not an issue to value positively.The symptoms of diabetes before the debut include being very thirsty, getting tired very fast, being very hungry but barely being able to eat, urinate a lot and lose weight so much that your ribs are noticed.Entering the hospital urgently with 500 mg/dl in blood is a danger.Life is in danger and fainting hyperglycemia are a possibility.So not, being thin is no virtue;And neither is it well to judge a person's body, have a chronic disease or not.

you can't do that

This would be a cousin sister of the initial phrase.Don't tell someone with diabetes that you can't do something.Yes, the disease gets involved in working, social and personal life, causes difficulties in day to day.But if it is already difficult to handle with what is said in their head, it is not necessary to add potholes with phrases that do not help.Support, ask, find out what goes through your head and be a good friend, not an obstacle.
