Obsessed with diabetes

I don’t have it, but I think it’s the most fascinated disorder of the human body.

I’ve felt this way since I first heard about it as a child. I guess it’s interesting to know something sweet like candy is flowing in your blood, or that’s how I thought of it at the time, but I’ve matured!

Albeit serious, Diabetic Ketoacidosis has fascinating symptoms, mainly fruity-scented and sweet urine. I’ve read online a patient with Ketoacidosis has blood sugar levels so high their urine hardened on the floor.

Since it’s become much more manageable the general public forgets how serious it used it be. It was universal fatal until insulin therapy. I still consider it one of the worst disease’s since it affects basically every major organ.

Plus there’s a link between mental health disorders, such as Bulimia and Schizophrenia due to Diabetes. Also, if a diabetic is unfortunate enough to have their leg amputated they can develop phantom limb, which despite the leg gone the patient feels it as if the leg is still there.
