Thanks to the Rotary Club and each of the specialists who during nine sessions guide us to “learn to live with diabetes”, a course that struggled this altruistic club, which was opened to the public at no cost and, which from my point of view, unfortunately only a few we take interest in attending.
And I say unfortunately because it is a very valuable issue to better understand this condition that thousands, millions of people in the world suffer and, above all, in Mexico, and it is not said in Yucatan, which is currently a heavy burden for public medical servicesas the IMSS and ISSSTE.
During each of these sessions that were taught every Saturday, since January 7 and concluded yesterday, specialists in nutrition, psychology, ophthalmology, dentistry, internal medicine, sports medicine, endocrinology and nephrology shared valuable knowledge about diabetes.
Those who already had notions of the subject expand them and those who should not have a better vision of what this condition is.
As the attendees were announced, the objective of the course is that you can live with quality of life, as long as those who suffer from the disease have the will to carry out what has been learned, which is nothing more than carrying a healthy eating andFollow the specialists medication to the letter.
It reads easy, but for many it is difficult, so you have to start with being honest and analyze conscientiously how we want to see ourselves in a few years: with blindness, with the amputation of any lower limb or both, with early onset of dialysisor being a burden for our relatives?
We have to be sensible and say: I love myself, and I want to see and live well in the coming years.
That is why you have to act, move from intention to action and not leave it only in good purposes;Because we already know where bad control of the disease can take us.Since one thing is to say yes I love and another prove it.
Many times we only take care of the date of the analysis, and once carried out and that the results show that we are more or less well, we continue with the mismanagement of food consumption that harm our body.But that is not deceiving the doctor but ourselves and, what is worse, we know.
And why wait for the justification of a future lamentation when you have the key to a better quality of life from now on.
Hopefully and that in future courses are more people who show interest in going to these sessions.
The club's task is not easy, especially from specialists who give their time doing this very important social work and who can help a lot of people suffering from this condition.
