Did you know, some estimates say 90% of type 2 diabetics is caused by poor diet and lifestyle i.e. self induced, so i have little sympathy

Come down to the Soi Buakhou, every second guy is sickly looking. 

 

Looking after yourself is hard work, most people are lazy.

 

It's a requirement for managing my well-being, put in the hard work, reap the rewards.

Yes, you are right.

Looking at how much some people let themselves go is a cautionary tale not to do the same.

I guess here too.

I guess this guy is broke and doesn't have health insurance, so he just lets himself get worse untreated.

I can only reiterate my previous comment. Have you nodded off with your head on the keyboard? Not a single word of your post makes any sense.

 

You been on the 49 baht cocktails again Bignok? I know that would be stretching your budget as that is normally a meal for two in your world.

Aren't most guys over 65 going to Pattaya hoping to die through excess sex ?

So it does not really matter ?

Why would anyone want your blockheaded sympathy? Sure, and death is caused 100% by life. I am sure nobody ever accused you of being compassionate or sympathetic....

 

But who could be so lucky not to have been born? One in a million perhaps...

Sadly for you diabetes often gets worse, too difficult to change your diet and lifestyle no doubt

There is undoubtedly a significant truth to this.

 

Around a decade ago, at the age of 75, my father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He had recently stopped playing golf three times a week; a routine he had maintained for years. Though never particularly fit, he was also never unhealthy, always carrying a slight but stable excess weight. However, after he gave up his regular rounds on the course, complications arose, leading to his diagnosis.

 

An extraordinary man, he did what he has always done, he took it upon himself to understand the challenge before him. He read extensively, researched tirelessly, and adapted with remarkable discipline.

 

He meticulously tracks his carbohydrate intake, measuring it down to the gram. On any given day, he knows precisely how many carbs he has consumed, allowing himself strategic indulgences; a slice of cake, a cup of tea with sugar etc without compromising his overall control. He has not deprived himself of life’s small pleasures; instead, he has mastered the art of balance with a precision worthy of study.

 

And, indeed, such studies exist: processed carbohydrates are at the heart of countless health issues.

 

Remarkably, his doctors have acknowledged that he has all but reversed his diabetes. He monitors his blood sugar multiple times a day, documenting every reading with diligence.

His primary concern now is ensuring he eats before bed to prevent his blood sugar from dropping dangerously low overnight.

 

I continue to learn invaluable lessons from this man I'm extremely proud to call my father, who remains active and resilient, driven by his love for his grandchildren and to be around for them as long as possible. They, like I, treasure him immeasurably, a sentiment that will only deepen beyond measure once his time with us comes to an end.
