A life with diabetes is not a walk in the park. Having the disease for the rest of your life is tough enough. I have this old friend who is suffering from this disease. He discovered it just last year and he was very shocked when he found out because there was no diabetes or even
cancer history in her family. He was so depressed when he found out about his illness. I was one of the first people he called after getting the diagnosis. I told him to face it because that's the only thing that he can do now. There are a lot of people who are suffering also from this disease who are surviving and happy with their lives. It's just a matter of having a good lifestyle, something that is suited to his condition.
On that day, we both searched the internet about diabetes. We found out a lot of information that can help him. Right after that, I told him that he does not have to worry because I know he can can still live a normal life, even with diabetes. He just have to be disciplined and open-minded. Early in the morning, I was awaken with his call. That was five in the morning, and he's inviting me join him for a run. Oh man!I told him it's too early. The following day, he enrolled in a gym class to have a regular work-out. He also checked the schedule of his doctor to have a meeting for a regular check-up. He also bought some books about diabetes. The following day, I was joking him to taste my wife's latest recipe which a
chocolate meringue cookies. Then he said, "I still want to live." and we just laughed our heart out.
