Diabetes denial is a very real issue for many.

Hi everyone,

Diabetes denial is a problem for the person in denial as they are not taking action to reduce their blood sugar levels or improve their health as type 2 diabetes can lead to life threatening complications.

It's important for those with diabetes or prone to diabetes to be aware of this and aware of what they can do to improve their health and live with their condition, or in some cases reveres diabetes.

No one has perfect health so no one benefits from diabetes denial as it only perpetuates the situation and its not in anyones interest for others to be in denial so its up to those with diabetes to be open and open about how they are dealing with their diabetes.

Here's an article about Diabetes denial, please see:

And here's an article about unusual signs of Diabetes from CNA and the importance of knowing if you have diabetes:

Please remember that November is Diabetes Awareness Month and November 14th is World Diabetes Day

So paint your nails to let the world know about diabetes and affirm that you have diabetes and want to spread the word as awareness is empowerment and denial is oppression of your basic needs. 💚

We are lucky in UK, as we age different tests are carried out by NHS, UK.

NHS, UK only look at HbA1C results now days. Other tests are carried out when you end up hospital!!

My family in Sri Lanka they only go to the doctor if there is a health issue.

Malaysia, Singapore, USA , Canada where other family members live, a different system I am informed.
