Scary boo!
If you’re reading this, you obviously care enough about your diabetes to go online and look for more information (or at least see what some snotty, bitter monkey like me has to say about the never-ending Festival of Delight that IS type 2 diabetes). As a result, you probably don’t need to go read it, but if you know someone who you think needs to take their diabetes more seriously, send them over to USA Today to read a scary story about what’ll happen to you if you ignore your diabetes.
Or I’ll summarize it for you. You’ll get your feet chopped off.
The article discusses people who don’t take care of their diabetes because they’re too poor, too busy or apparently just don’t like owning feet, and it’s a real eye-opener. It refers to the coming diabetes crisis in the country as “the equivalent of a medical tsunami”, which is a pretty effective (and scary) way to put it.
So yeah. Take care of yourself.
