There are many hard facts of life and one of the hardest can be dealing with the diagnosis of a chronic disease such as diabetes. It’s a life changing moment to be told that you might not be able to enjoy the same carefree lifestyle you once did. If you are seeking the truth about living with diabetes, and what you can do to make it manageable, then this read is definitely for you.
Depending on what you were diagnosed with; whether it is type one or type two diabetes, your course of action needs to be different. There’s also another type of diabetes called Gestational Diabetes, but it won’t be discussed here. Both common types of diabetes are manageable with the right information and approach. First up in our list of diabetic conditions is the most common one in the United States known as type two onset diabetes. It’s a condition that develops over time as your blood sugar remains consistently high and your body develops a resistance to insulin.
If you are a parent or guardian reading this, then you need to listen carefully. The center for disease control estimates over 186,000 children under the age of twenty have developed type two diabetes which is a major spike since the 1980s. The main reasons for this are early obesity, high sugar intake and sedentary lifestyles. At one time children would love nothing more than to play tag in the back yard, but today’s generation would much rather play their PlayStation for 10 hours a day.

What You Can Do To Lower Your Chances of Getting Diabetes
- Lead by example as a parent by maintaining an active lifestyle to encourage your child or young adult to get off of the sofa and enjoy the outdoors. Just a nice walk everyday can lower the risk for type two diabetes in young adults.
- Limit the use of electronics in the house such as video games, computer browsing and watching too much TV. The most effective way to do this is by slowly replacing those sedentary activities with fun outdoor family activities that will not only bring the family together but inspire a healthier lifestyle.
- Any fast food is bad food and we’re not just talking about McDonald’s here. You need to empty the refrigerator of harmful, chemically enriched foods, such as TV dinners or almost anything that could be open and cooked in a microwave. If the food is not in pure form: don’t eat it!
- Do not hide your child from the dangers of diabetes. Instead, show them the symptoms of diabetes and educate them on the raw facts of it. It may be unsightly, but it will arm your child with an attitude of wanting to avoid a common, chronic disease. The end justifies the means.

How Can You Get Rid of Diabetes?
As an adult, if you are facing type two diabetes, then you need to instantly become a warrior against it. The truth is: if you are pre-diabetic you can reverse diabetes with a diet change and exercise. Start cutting out all sweets and replace them with vegetables, low fat meat and dairy products. If reversal is not an option, you can beat back type two diabetes to the point of little to no maintenance with a daily exercise routine and by following a diabetic diet. Keep track of your carbohydrate intakes (learn more about Carbohydrate Guidelines for Diabetes here).

For those of us who have fallen victim to type one diabetes, there are less options of dealing with the side-effects. Medical treatment at no point is optional: it’s a must have if you want to wake to see tomorrow. That does not mean exercise along with a diet rich in super foods such as grapefruit and eggplant won’t help turn your chronic disease into an more easily manageable one. Whatever form of diabetes you are dealing with, remember there are plenty of ways to combat or completely reverse it and with a steadfast mindset you can overcome it.
