I have diabetes but do not have access to a doctor. Could you help me…?
What should I do?
Just know that I have adult diabetes, but can’t go to the doctor (for some reason).
Any way I can treat it? Or lessen the risk of diabetes symptoms?
What should I do to be safe from anything?
I do not know anything about diabetes myself.
Please refrain from direct copying of phrases from informational websites (they are hard to understand and sometimes not helpful)
So should I really see a doctor?
Maybe what you people are saying is right, and I should really get medical attention as soon as possible. I will try get to a doctor by any means then…
But meanwhile, anything I can do to be safe? Because I don’t want to worsen the condition.
I think that avoiding sugar is important, but I am not very sure about it…….. I don’t know much about it…
Why can’t you see a dr? They have free clinics in the cities that will treat you on a sliding scale fee or free if you have no money. But you need to be monitored by a dr!!! You need to be on glucophage or something like it. Iit help regulate your blood sugar.
You can help yourself by diet change, and exercise..
But NOTHING can take the place of medical care, you can die from diabetes..Or worse..yes, much worse things can happen besides death.
how did you find out you have diabetes? unfortunately you cant buy the medicine you need for the diabetes (in the UK. not sure about elsewhere) you need to be seen by a GP or the hospital. try going to the hospital and asking them, leaving this untreated could end up a bad way.
A few tips for you intil you can see the Dr.-
Exercise is an important part of home care. As little as a 20-minute walk, three times a week will make an impact on your sugar levels. Any extra exercise will be a benefit to your health. Even walking slow for 20 minutes will help. A little exercise is better than no exercise at all. If you already have complications, check with your doctor to find out what exercise you will be able to do without harming your body.
Eating healthy is important when you have diabetes. You should eat a diet that is high in fiber, and low in fats and sugar. Try eating at regular times and about the same amount of food each day. This will make it easier to control your blood sugar levels.
A Healthy Lifestyle
If you are a smoker, your risk at developing severe complications from your diabetes goes up. Smoking has probably already damaged your blood vessels and put you at risk for heart disease and stroke. Damaged blood vessels mean poor circulation in your lower extremities and could cause serious problems, including amputation.
If you drink alcohol, you need to drink in moderation or quit. If you continue to drink, you should never have more that seven drinks a week, and only two or three on any day. Alcohol can cause a change either lowering or raising your sugar levels, increase your triglycerides, and cause nerve pain.
There would appear to be more than a small problem here. You need to be realistic about this. Firstly, how do you know it is diabetes? Secondly, have you even the faintest idea of how dangerous it is to try to treat yourself. It’s called self-medicating and it’s very unwise indeed. Whatever your reason for not attending a doctor, I beg you to overcome those fears or get advice from someone on how to address that matter urgently. The most important thing for you to know is that left untreated, diabetes can have horrific consequences which are irreversible. I would also plead with anyone who reads your question not to give you any suggestions for treatment unless they are qualified medical practitioners, and even then, the minimum of advice should be limited to addressing the attendance for consult. A doctor would need to carry out tests prior to advising you. What you are asking is not reasonable.
