Talking About Alcoholism And Diabetes

This article is in regard to such a simply devastating duo, alcoholism and diabetes. Why it is so devastating is because this combination will be one that can and will speed the individual involved to far greater sickness and suffering, and ultimately, if left unattended to, to their final demise. It can and will only have horrific effects on the person suffering, and make no mistake, on their family, friends, and anyone that cares for them. Let's take an even closer look at just how bad this situation can be.

The truth of the matter is that the alcoholic also suffering with diabetes, is making their overall condition worse with every drink they take. And if they are also taking insulin in an attempt to deal with and control the diabetes, the negatives multiply. Their blood sugar level is going to drastically waver. The truth of the matter is that initially it may rise significantly, and as the drinking continues, it can fall just as quickly to low levels. Of course, it goes without saying, that mixing the excessive alcohol consumption with the insulin being taken, is not a good thing. And there is always the chance that the alcoholism will effect the judgment of the person involved, and they will overdose on the insulin, leading to only negative consequences.

The bottom line here is that the person suffering with and enduring alcoholism and all the negatives it brings, must make the decision to get themselves the help they need to stop. Their life is truly hanging in the balance, and that alone should provide the incentive that they need. There is no relief from alcoholism, it will only worsen and lead to disaster. The only cure is to STOP DRINKING, and start to take life back on with a clear mind and a rebounding body. The good news is that this can be done, and the person suffering must be convinced that this is the truth. The path is not always the easiest to follow, but it can and will lead to a better life.
