It is assumed that people who suffer from chronic diseases will listen to Doctors advice,at least the informed.
But recent survey confirms what I have been saying, that people with such diseases do not take Doctor’s advice seriously under the mistaken impression that the medicines shall take care of Diabetes.
I have seen people eating sweets and other sugar rich food stating that they shall take additional tablet to offset the effect of additional sugar intake.
Diabetics must remember that Diabetes is manageable,an euphemism by Doctors that it is not curable.
Diet and change in Lifestyle is the answer.
Please read my blogs under Health.
Most type 2 diabetes patients are well informed about their disease and have good access to health care, though they still choose to live unhealthy lifestyles, according to a study from SHIELD, The Study to Help Improve Early Evaluation and Management released Tuesday.
In the largest nongovernmental study of its kind, researchers found that while awareness surrounding diabetes has increased in the last decade, preventative measures have not been taken more seriously.
Almost one in five people with type 2 diabetes said they preferred to take medicine for their health problems instead of changing their lifestyle.
Researchers found that 87 percent of 3,867 type 2 diabetes respondents in the baseline survey said they knew obesity could add to the beginning of chronic disease.
Specifically, 63 percent of the participants reported that their health professional had recommended an increase in exercise in the last year, but 87 percent said that they had been inactive for the past week before the study.
