Life with diabetes is not always easy. For some it is fraught with complications and anger, for others it blends into their life without much disturbance. From the interviews and stories you can see how diabetes is a personal disease that people handle in many different ways. Often times people are faced with changes in their lifestyle that no one can change except themselves. People who have been diagnosed with diabetes may ask:

What changes should I expect in my life if I am diagnosed with diabetes? Will my life be the same as always?
You will become more aware of what you eat. You will think about food as you always have but also with the knowledge that what you eat will affect your diabetes. Because it is a chronic disease you will take medicine until the cure is found. Certain jobs will be forbidden to you for safety reasons (e.g., airline pilot). But, within those limits, you can do anything that someone without diabetes can do if you set your purpose there.


Will I die from diabetes?
On average diabetes shortens life by a few years. On the other hand, application of the best ways of managing diabetes can be very effective at preventing complications and early death.


Is there a cure for diabetes?
No. Currently there is no cure for diabetes, even though certain aspects of the disease are clearly understood.

What is being done to help people with diabetes?
For people with diabetes, knowledge many times is the key to empowerment over your disease. The more that you know, the better you are able to manage the disease in a way that fits with your lifestyle. This is why we here at Hanuman Medical have provided this site, Hanuman Garden, to help you with your continuing education and support for your life with diabetes. In terms of research, there is very little money that is allocated to finding a cure. And the money that has been invested has been poorly spent.
