I am not a seventh day Adventist to tell how god created the heaven and earth in six days and took rest on the seventh (sabbath) day. I like to dwell in the seventh heaven which is actually the abode of god with a state of supreme happiness. I would like all our diabetics do the same hence forth. I wish their life be colourful like the seven colours of the rainbow not only on seventh April (world health day) but all the seven days in a week.

ஏழு ஏழு ஜென்மமும் உம்மை மறவேன் மருத்துவரே என பயனடைபவர் பாராட்டவேண்டாமா !

Generally the treatment of Diabetes commences as just Diet Control. Subsequently progressing to use of anti-diabetic medication (tablet) in incremental doses, from only 1/2 tablet per day to multiple doses of the same tablet or combination of different generics.

Enter the Insulin:
You cannot be insulated from Insulin for a long time. When the need arises, the needle comes forth.

This can be depicted as follows -
Pancreas = Bank
Money = Insulin
Tablets = Checks/Pay Orders

When you have enough money (Insulin), you make merry just popping a few pills now and then. But when the deposit dissolves, bankruptcy looms large, calling for external funds (Insulin Injections). Balance the book (Maintain insulin levels) to prevent insolvency. Accept the reality or reserve a seat in Heaven.........or Hell (wherever you fit in). Health is paramount, all else is nil account. Ok, count on...

If life is like Mahabharatha, a Diabetic is akin to Draupadi. As the disease progresses, the diabetic develops many complications, which can be depicted like her five consorts, the Pancha Pandavas.

1. Neuropathy - Affliction of Nerves
2. Retinopathy - The diminishing vision
3. Nephropathy - The progressive Kidney damage
4. Cardiopathy - The weakening heart and its portals, the blood vessels
5. Myopathy - The enfeebled muscles

Unfortunately none of the Pathys (Husband) can be divorced. So learn to live with them amicably
, yet keeping them in check, without going into Agnyadha-vasa.
