I trust that the title caught your attention. And that you will pay close attention to what I'm about to share with you.
HOSPITALS ARE HEALING PLACES
As a doctor, working as a hospitalist. This is a doctor who specializes in treating patients when they get admitted to the hospital. A typical change as a hospitalist lasts about 12 hours.
I usually work 14 days out of the month for 7 days at a stretch. It gives me an incentive to make sure that I tend to my health and well-being.
There are some criteria that must be met by most insurance companies before admission to hospital deems appropriate.
Put in laymen's terms that need to be so sick that it would be a risk to treat you out of the hospital.
Why is it so this information so important to live powerfully with type 2 diabetes? Because by the time you have to be hospitalized, probably have developed complications associated with diabetes type 2.
These complications will most likely begin to affect the quality of your life. This is why usually affect the vital organs of the body.
Here are some important facts to know about diabetes complications:
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure.Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people aged 20-74 years2 of 3 people with type 2 diabetes also have high blood pressure and also need to take medications for the treatment of this.Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease.A significant number of people have problems with their nervous system that can throw off the body's natural rhythm.Diabetes causes gum disease that may lead to tooth loss. Dental disease has also been found to increase risk of heart disease. 60% of the lower limb amputations are due to diabetes.This just a snap shot of small potential complications related to diabetes occurs.
Of course it is easy to predict that this can become a slippery slope of repeated hospital admissions.
Hospitals are not designed as a place where healing occurs. A typical day as a patient in hospital is spent getting test to diagnose anything seems to be the problem. The patient is seen by at least one doctor-the doctor admit that is usually a hospitalist as me.
Think of yourself in a hospital gown being poked and prodded by different people, examined and questioned over and over again. You then can be attached to an IV and given powerful drugs to run through your veins designed to make you feel better. Sometimes you may even suffer the side effects, which sometimes are worse that the medicine itself!
Hospitals are activity centers sometimes endless and so these routine going on twenty-four hours. The day shift directions for the night shift.
At night expect sleep to be interrupted by blood pressure, pulse and respiration counts at least every four hours.
And then the routine resumed again the next day. Further blood tests, spurring questioning ....
You get the picture.
Life becomes monotonous.
This is the side of living with diabetes that lots of people become aware or watching a spouse, lover, a friend, a neighbor, a relative go through this.
I'm here to tell you that should not be this way!
I'm passionate about engaging people to choose differently, because at the end of the day life is all about the choices we make.
So let's say you've just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or been diagnosed some time ago. And we say that just because you are visiting this blog I can safely say that is not to be a part of these statistics that I listed above.
Starting today you can choose differently!
Choose to learn everything you can about what it takes to live a powerful life with diabetes.
Choose to focus on adapting the right mentality and that rather than being a victim of this condition, which has become the power.
Choose to make choices for healthy lifestyle as regularly checking your blood sugars, eating right and exercising frequently.
Choose to do so to plan regular appointments with your primary care physician. And that if referred to a specialist who can see also that doctor.
Choose to take your medications as advised and that if a side effect from medication that contact the primary care provider.
Click to ask questions when you're not sure. If a health care provider does not respond to your satisfaction, keep looking until you find someone who is willing to cooperate with you in your care.
Choose to focus on prevention rather than cure.
We have treated countless patients with diabetes. Can I speak with my observation that those patients who have been actively engaged in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
My patients that were focused on what they should do to stay healthy, rarely got hospitalized for complications related to diabetes.
Who played a role somewhat more passive and even approached them with a sense of resignation inevitably ended up with long-term complications.
It is sad to say that after close to 25 years of being a doctor and cure a chronic disease, I can almost predict that it will be and who will do well-not only by studying their way of thinking.
Mentality is one of the first things that I work with a patient or client.
Have you ever seen someone just released from the hospital? Seem worn out; sometimes older than when they went. Chronic illness takes a toll on the body. It causes emotional stress. It takes a long time to heal. And so even if a person can be downloaded from after being in hospital, they are far from healed.
Vera healing involves the body, mind and spirit.
Hospitals do not heal your body mind and spirit. Although I work as a hospitalist, I am quite transparent to recognize my limits within the walls.
It is my hope that you start today to make powerful choices. Do everything you need to reduce the risk of complications from diabetes.
