Thinking about diabetes and the corona virus, our basic health is affected by high sugar numbers, so some of us may not heal as fast or well as before the disease. Also, when you consider that diabetes can affect the hearing, the eyes, the mind, and can lead to Alzheimer's, it is no wonder that we can be sensitive to heart conditions and other potential killers as obesity, anxiety, and God knows what else. Then there is the pancreas, our liver, our muscles, our bones, and certainly we can expect complications from a virus. I struggle to keep up my health every day, and with blood sugar numbers close to 100 in the morning, I have less to worry about. My isolation keeps me from worrying about the virus for me, but I pray for others. My blood pressure is lower now.
So I am motivated to keep on my personal program for the best I can do for my body, and my mind. I do not consider myself a sick person, nor do I laugh about my diabetic condition as many of my friends do. My granddaughter keeps telling me my age is just a number. I am vulnerable, but careful.
