The Importance of Regularly Checking Blood Sugar Level For Diabetics

As we all know diabetes is a lifetime disease. It is not like H1N1 which might put our lives in danger but once it is cured then we are out of danger, as explained by Dr Durano (my doctor). Once we got it then we should know how to fight it, by the word fight, I mean that we should be able to control it since it is non-curable however it can be controlled by a good diet, regular exercises, and proper intake of medications.
However all your hard work will be meaningless if you aren't monitoring your blood sugar on a daily basis, this is the one thing that I am not able to do which may lead to other cardiovascular disease such as heart attack, impaired vision, wounds that never heal, and other related cardiovascular diseases that may worse once you didn't take care of it.



A good example of what I am saying is my brother which died due to complications of diabetes. He died on May 2009; I still remember that day since I can't sleep that night because I could hear how he has suffered. Going back to what happened; he had hard time breathing. My mother instructs me to give him a soft drink because his blood sugar is too low (if your blood sugar is too low then there is a chance that you may get into comatose). So that night I got up and did buy a soft drink but it was too late when I came home because he was asleep when I arrived. I was trying to wake him up and give him the soft drinks but it was too late. He died at 3 pm the next day. All of this could be prevented if only he had his blood sugar regularly taken.

My brother died because of diabetes back in May 2009 so I thought of making my own blog entitled "Living Life with diabetes." I hope that I could help someone to avoid diabetes or make their life longer.
