Experts and your doctor point out that 85% of Falanges mutilations can be prevented
This is a sad reality because all the diabetics "trust ourselves" believing that today our blood sugar, after its glucometer measure, gives a normal result;This ok and we can continue to ingest hydrates until new insulin correction (fast units) no and no !!That is not the good resolution and we must be aware that the Diabètes is within our, in our body and "do dsastres" if we give it the opportunity!Then, to take care of the high and low sugar !!!!encouragement and constant insult, dear sweet family ...........
