Diabetis, Diabites, it is DIABETES

Before we dig deeper about DM(Diabetes Mellitus), did you know that a lot of people misspells the word diabetes into diabetis and diabites? That is correct. Because the word diabetis and diabites has a high number of searches according to Google Trends. That means that many didn't know the real spelling of DM. If we commit mistakes in spelling the name, the more we commit mistake in viewing the condition.

So what is DM(Diabetes Mellitus)? It is a condition wherein a person has a blood sugar way above the normal level. You may not be alarmed in its definition, but did you know the possible complications that may arise from it? A couple of examples are seen in the commercial in Philippine TV where a patient got blind and another one got his leg amputated. Actually, there are more, such as heart problems, kidney problems etc. but those two are the most common.

There is no treatment in DM, but this condition is very controllable. IMO, the number solution to this condition is DISCIPLINE, especially for type II DM(those who has insulin, but very little). I guess that is the number one thing you must have in order to overcome this condition(and it applies to other disorders/diseases/condition too). Because if you have discipline, it is easier to do ways in controlling the condition such as diet and exercise. Still, prevention is better than cure.

I hope you learn something even a little in this post. =]
