Shark fragte in HealthDiseases & ConditionsDiabetes · vor 1 Jahrzehnt

So how long will I live?

I have diabetes. I found that I do on April 25, 2005. Nobody knows this other than me and I have not gone to the doctor.

I have frequent urination, weight loss, am always a bit tired and I think my eyesight has decreased in power as well. I always wore glasses.

So, now it is April 29, 2008...my diabetes has been untreated for 3 years. So when will I die if this is still left untreated?

Update:

This is not a joke. I am being serious...and I don't have money

Update 2:

Yes, thank you for the answers so far. I now really don't eat or drink sugary items. I eat chocolate only once a month and don't drink any sodas. I think one of my friends will help me with the medical bills. I have no insurance.

Thank you for the answers so far.

May I ask what kind of pain? And where will this pain be? In the arms or legs or what?

Update 3:

I am not opposed to medication...I have no money that's all. And I did not know about free clinics...OK I will find one nearby.

Yea, I exercise...I do in-line skating 3 times a week around the block to keep fit. Also, I don't eat fast-food at all. And yes, I stopeed eating white bread...I only eat the wheat breads.

Thank you for the answers...the pain seems horrible.

    You will live in total pain for the next 10 to 50 years!! This is no joke either about the pain!

    As sugar levels remain high in your system, they are killiing off periferal nerves and tiny blood vessels. They are killing off the circulation to your feet and hands. They are killing off the blood vessels that supply your eyes!!

    These high sugar levels are also doing great damage to your heart, liver and kidneys!!

    If you don't want to be in pain and/or on dialysis, go see the doctor!!!

    If you're not going to the doctor, have you at least tried to regulate your diabetes with food? Have you ever taken a blood glucose test? It would be good - even if you go to a free clinic - to have everything tested. Because with these symptoms it could also mean its kidney disease, etc. It might not be diabetes, it could be pre-diabetes or insulin resistance. No one can really tell you how long you're gonna live, because we don't know how bad your glucose level it, or even if you have diabetes.

    But lets assume you have diabetes and your glucose is really high you won't die before you get really bad symptoms. You don't really die from the high blood sugar itself, you die from the complications. So basically, you'll know when its coming. You'll get diabetic retinopathy - lose your eye sight, diabetic nephropathy - your kidneys will begin to shut down, etc. Many people have untreated diabetes for awhile before it gets caught, so this isn't uncommon.

    But why don't you at least try to keep it in check? Eat a balanced diet - cut out the carbs, or at least switch from whites to whole grains. Exercise - even just walking around the block helps. Because if you're completely opposed to the doctor and medication, you can at least extend your life span with good practices like eating right and exercising to get your blood glucose down.

    And why not try a free clinic? Is it just because you don't want to know?

    With this you can live forever and tell others about how you coped without medicine.Keep a journal of your progress.

    These pranayam exercises will help control the diabetes and the side effects.Build up the timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume later.The benefits will be noticed in weeks as the sugar level is checked daily.Over the long tern the diabetes will be in full control and the medicine(if any) can be reduced in consultation with the doctor.

    Anulom Vilom –

    Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril

    then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril

    then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril

    then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.

    This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

    Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day(maximum 60 minutes in one day).

    Children under 15 years - do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.

    You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

    Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day)

    If you continue to ignore the fact you have diabetes and are not taking medication for it your sugars will constantly run high. Everything you eat with carbohydrates and sugars in it will eventually deteriorate your entire nervous system. You will develop neuroapthies. Pain and numbness in your feet and legs. Often times leading to gangrene and amputation. You will develop neuroapthies in your kidneys, heart, sexual organs, etc. High blood sugars will cause your kidneys to shut down, with out treatment you will die a painful death. Neuroapthy in your heart will kill you with in 5 yrs of developing. Your blood pressures will be messed up as well as your heart rate and you will have a heart attack without any symptoms. Neuropathy in your sexual organs means you will no longer orgasm. Neuroapthy starts as soon as you become a diabetic, all types, it is only a small matter of time before it kills you. Left untreated your only making death come sooner.

    If you haven't been to a doctor and diagnosed with diabetes then you really don't know you have it. No way to tell, you don't know what your daily levels are, or how well your condition is controlled with diet. Most diabetic patients end up with kidney disease, that's what kills them.
