I’m a Nurse and please do not get me started on Type 2 diabetes and people like Emma. Honestly don’t.
Actually duck it, why not. Diabetes is so serious, I’ve seen people lose their limbs up to the hips. I’ve seen people with ulcers where we have had to treat with maggots. I’ve seen people lose their sight. I’ve seen a young patient be admitted 4 times into my old ICU unit. I’ve seen a young person die, who was barely out of her teens.
T2 can be managed with sensible diet and the appropriate medication. Why wouldn’t you want to look after yourself? Take your blood sugars and your medication? While this is Emma’s condition, Tony ought to step up and help her. I have a heart condition and I’m a sod for forgetting to take my medication, but my husband will collect my prescription and remind me. You do that when you love someone, and you take your medication when you have something to live for.
