Answer 3

oh, of course it's not a death sentence :) Though, it can cause some health problems. The thing is - if you do have it you'll most likely have to take some medication and be careful about what you eat. Go to the doctor to make sure you do have it - before you start worrying ;) Also, if you're an active person - it's always good to have something sweet with you in case your sugar level suddenly decreases (feeling dizzy, weak) - my grandmother has diabetes and it happens to her sometimes.

omg, no!! in fact i was just reading the other day that they are very close to a cure for diabetes. It all depends on wether you have type one or type two. my husbabd was recently diagnosed with it, and has a LOT to do with your diet! He has managed it very well so far. He has been eating lots of foods that contain NO sugar or animal fats, for a start...he bought a pushbike and is walking 5 k's a day, such a HUGE improvement so far, he has also stoppped drinking. He's lost 10 kilos in 3 months! It was a huge wake up call for him, which it is for most people who are diagnosed later on in life. Just be kind to your body, most people don't need to use medication if they have a good diet, combined with regular excercise.  

Answer 5

Without correct management, yes, it can be a death sentence. Diabetes does cause certain health problems such as decreased circulation, kidney and heart problems, loss of feeling in the extremities, etc if it goes unchecked. Proper management of the blood sugar keeps most of these things in check, and increases the chances of living a long life
