Would You Give Up 10 Years Of Your Life To Live Without The Burdens Of Diabetes?
Would you be willing to give up 8 years of your life to do away with your diabetes regimen? Do you feel like your medications and treatments are an enormous burden? If your answers are yes… and yes, then you are not alone.
A group of researchers conducted face to face interviews with over 700 type 2 diabetics and found that they equate their diabetes with kidney disease and angina.
Many diabetics say the burden of constant therapeutic vigilance and daily insulin injections have as much impact on their lives as complications.
And over 10% of the patients polled were willing to give up 8-10 years of their lives to live without these everyday burdens. Wow! How do you feel about this? Would you be willing to give up the final decade of your life to live without prescription bottles and insulin? I don’t know about all that, I am sitting on the fence? Convince me either way…
