Too Many Diabetics
A young lady who goes to school with my son came by trying to sell doughnuts today. I turned her down because I’m diabetic and don’t need doughnuts in the house. She said a lot of people in our neighborhood were diabetic. This got me to thinking.
I wonder how many things are influenced by the great number of diabetics in the United States. Evidently candy and bake good sales for schools are down. My son said they’ve changed the foods his lunchroom serves. This was a good thing though, because they were serving way too much junk and carby foods.
Most restaurants, even fast food, have healthier choices these days. Hospitals have diabetic meal plans. Employers have to let diabetic employees take time for insulin shots if they are required. Truck drivers have to get regular tests to make sure their blood sugar isn’t out of control.
What else is diabetes having an influence on? I hope all the diabetics out there are staying in control and taking care of their health. Even when doing this, certain things have to happen during a diabetic’s day. It stands to reason that changes are being made…both in the work place, and with places trying to keep more people from becoming diabetic.
Where have you seen changes?
