I have always wanted to have a blog post of my own. As a member of the health care team, i want to impart my knowledge on information pertaining to health especially more emphasis on Diabetes. I am not a good writer myself but this may be a good start. Actually, what motivated me to do this is that I want to share what I have learned from my org. (ADNEP - Association of Nurse Educators of the Philippines - thank you). Plus, my dad is a diabetic (sad to know about it) and he just knew he was about a year ago. He felt deppressed and I want to help him. By the way, he has Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. According to ADA (American Diabetes Association) there are two main forms of Diabetes namely the Type 1 Diabetes (formerly known as IDDM or the Insulin-Dependent diabetes Mellitus) and the Type 2 Diabetes (formerly known as NIDDM or the Non-Insulin Diabetes Mellitus. There are also other specific forms of Diabetes Mellitus which i will impart to you in my next posts, but for now, i will give more infos on Type 2 Diabetes. And the sweet truth about having diabetes? Sad to say that once you have it and do nothing about it, it will stay with you for the rest of your life! Wow, how sweet.....lol, but the bitter side of it is that you will not escape from its complications.....Yup! Life is sweet and beautiful, yes i agree with that, but living with diabetes is a different kind of life.

Well, this is all for now. In my next posts, i will give more infos that would benefit you in managing your diabetes, but for now I would suggest that you see your Diabetologist if you are experiencing sudden weight loss, excessive thirst and frequent urination. You may not know it, but you may be having diabetes. I also welcome anyone who have comments and even suggestions to my posts. I would appreciate it as well that my blog would be interactive . I hope that my coming posts would be helpful in managing diabetes... Have a sweet day.....
