Suffered a stroke 2 months after being diagnosed with diabetes
Shirley was sent to the AnE after experiencing severe giddiness and breathlessness. Upon arriving at the hospital and going through the necessary checks, it was confirmed to be a stroke. This happened just 2 months after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
Importance of adherence to treatment
Patients play a big role in managing their condition. One of the most important thing is to adhere to the doctor’s instructions on taking medication. Non-adherence to treatment, across all diseases, will cause a much higher likelihood of exacerbating an existing condition.
Diabetes occurs when our body either
a. produces insufficient insulin or
b. does not react properly to insulin
Both of which will cause the sugar levels in our blood to be high, which damage our body and cause complications in the long run.
