Diabetes is a lifetime disease that can prove to be a challenge, not just for the people with diabetes, but for their families and friends as well. It can be a long, grueling journey for patients. Support and understanding from the significant people in their lives are vital for their complete acceptance of their condition.
The April-May 2008 issue of DiabetEASE magazine focuses on the emotional well-being of people with diabetes and offers a wide range of articles to help them get back on track.
Some of the articles include how to cope with the psycho-social issues in diabetes, dealing with panic attacks, the relationship between antipsychotic medicines and diabetes, and how to make glucose checks fun for children.
Additional topics in this issue include the importance of prayer in diabetes management, tips to effectively quit smoking for good, and how to liven up fitness routines.
To inspire those with diabetes to live well with the disease, a rising interior designer shares how he chose not to let diabetes get in the way of his dreams.
