There are so many excuses that people can use in regard to a purposeful mistake, meaning that you are aware if you continue not to take your medications, your blood sugars will go up, which is a danger. If you don't take your high blood pressure medication, your blood pressure will stay up, which is a danger. And you're aware of that. You've been educated about that
And most of the time, we know the consequences of not taking care of ourselves, and we don't care. I'll deal with it later on, not realizing that the consequences or the effect of not taking care of yourself, it slowly creeps up on you. And I'm saying this as a witness. I'm a woman who does have type two diabetes

And so one specific thing is don't do anything to your feet, don't try to clip your toenails, don't try to clean around your toes, wash your feet, but don't put any sharp objects on your feet because as a diabetic, you don't heal as fast as others. Your healing percentage has decreased by 80%
It's one thing for a doctor to tell you things and all that and you try to do the next right thing. But sometimes it's hard for people to help themselves. Like they'll be dying going out, taking meals to someone else, you know what I mean?

And because I decided to take this into action and take care of my body, take better care of my body, that's another thing that is keeping me from actually getting severe in my diagnosis with diabetes. So thank you for the advice and I pray that your family member that they will keep going strong and not allow the ways of their diagnosis to defy them. Thank you

But I do keep up with the rest of my yearly exams because I do work in healthcare. But I'm confused about something. All of my PAP smears are normal. And because they're normal, my health insurance will pay for it twice, once every other year, meaning two years.

When we're loving from a place of acceptance to not have expectations from a child or a parent or a sibling, to love them from a space of acceptance and then look inward to feel our needs.
