Navigating the Emotional Journey of Diabetes: Finding Strength in Adversity
By: Dr. Salihu Lukman
Introduction:
Living with diabetes is not just about managing blood sugar levels and following a strict regimen. It is a complex journey that often comes with emotional and psychological challenges that can negatively impact your mental health. Understanding and addressing the impact of diabetes on mental well-being is crucial for individuals to lead fulfilling lives. In this article, we explore the emotional and psychological aspects of diabetes and provide insights into coping strategies.
The Emotional Rollercoaster:
Diabetes can trigger a range of emotions, from frustration and anger to fear and sadness. The constant need to monitor blood sugar levels sometimes daily, adhere to dietary restrictions all the time, and manage daily medications or insulin injections can be overwhelming. The fear of complications and the uncertainty of the future can also take a toll on one’s emotional well-being. It is important to acknowledge these emotions and seek support.
Coping Strategies:
1. Education and Awareness: Knowledge is power. Understanding diabetes, its management, and potential complications can help individuals feel more in control. Stay informed through reliable sources, attend educational programs, and engage with healthcare professionals to gain a deeper understanding of the condition.
2. Building a Support Network: Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of family, friends, and healthcare professionals can make a significant difference. Share your concerns, seek advice, and lean on them during challenging times. Connecting with others who have diabetes through support groups or online communities can also provide a sense of belonging and understanding. Join support groups where diabetics share their various experiences in managing the condition.
Diabetic Monitoring Forum (DMF), which I founded in 2019 together with healthcare professionals (medical doctors, pharmacist, etc.) is one such group whose goals are:
(a) Dissemination of relevant articles on diabetes & nutrition to keep members enlightened.
(b) Counseling & follow-up on diabetics in terms of what foods they can eat & their blood glucose levels.
(c) Ensure proper use of glucometer and adequate monitoring of blood glucose levels.
(d) Share proven meal recipes for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels & answer any questions on diabetes.
(e) Help in reversing type 2 diabetes, after successfully reversing my own and many others.

3. Self-Care and Stress Management: Prioritizing self-care is essential for emotional well-being. Engage in activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as hobbies, exercise, or mindfulness practices. Managing stress through techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or journaling can help alleviate anxiety and promote a positive mindset.
4. Seeking Professional Help: If feelings of anxiety, depression, or distress persist, it is crucial to seek professional help. Mental health professionals can provide guidance, therapy, and support tailored to the unique challenges faced by individuals with diabetes.
5. Embracing a Positive Mindset: While diabetes presents challenges, it is important to focus on the positives. Celebrate small victories, set realistic goals, and practice self-compassion. Embracing a positive mindset can empower individuals to overcome obstacles and maintain a resilient attitude.
Conclusion:
Living with diabetes can be emotionally and psychologically demanding, but it is important to remember that you are not alone. By acknowledging and addressing the emotional impact of diabetes, individuals can develop effective coping strategies.

A Chance To Completely Reverse Diabetes
And Its Complications
It’s been 6 months already.
Driven by the passion to curb diabetes in our society, we created DMF (Diabetic Monitoring Forum) on WhatsApp (Hausa & English groups) and Telegram (Hausa & English groups), where we addressed challenges with diabetic control amongst members. With the help of our medical team, members were encouraged to fill a special form to help us understand their lifestyle and provide tested and trusted tips to manage their conditions better. The result – countless success stories!!! To help serve you better, we have introduced a premium package where we will be with you every step of the way to help you achieve your dreams.
Program Overview
The program will involve daily routines including several blood sugar checks, meal plans (including recipes, if needed) and medications or injection (if needed). Evaluation will be by filling daily feedback forms and making phone calls, where necessary. Communication will be mainly via DMF Social Network Group.
Checklist
(1) Possession of a glucometer (recommended brand: Accu-Chek Active) with enough strips to last for the period of subscription.
(2) Baseline investigations to know the functions of the kidney, heart, liver and eyes.
(3) Glycated haemoglin test to assess average glucose control in the past 3 months.
(4) Given that the program entails a complete dietary change, subscribers should bear this in mind and reserve some funds for that purpose to achieve the desired goal.
Expected Outcomes
(1) Achieving optimal glucose control by the end of the subscription period with the possibility of weaning off medications (best achieved under 3 months plan) and subsequent complete reversal of diabetic complications like sexual dysfunction, foot damage, poor vision, kidney damage, etc.
(2) A sustainable diet plan that will guarantee healthy weight loss – this is important in the effective management of many other disorders such as hypertension, coronary artery diseases, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), arthritis, and countless others.

As a sequel to sharing my article titled, ‘HOW I FOUGHT DIABETES TO A STANDSTILL IN JUST 15 MONTHS‘ (Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3) in commemoration of World Diabetes Day held on November 14, 2019 coupled with my desire and passion to assist diabetics in combating or containing this endemic disease (based on my experience) which has affected about 10 million Nigerians (5 % of the population) and still counting, I have concluded to take my campaign to the “Next Level” by forming a Telegram group called Diabetic Monitoring Forum (DMF) whose details are provided below.
In addition, when I sent this article to Daily Trust to be considered for possible publication and copied the amiable Dr. Ibraheem Dooba, I learned another success story from him where he successfully transitioned from pre-diabetic to normal. It is my belief that there are many other success stories where people fought diabetes to a standstill that remain untold. Through this forum, we can all meet and share our various success stories of how diabetes was defeated so that other diabetics can learn and adopt some of these proven strategies and methods. Anyone who wishes to join the forum MUST read the following and do the needful. Together, we can do this. Let’s join hands.
GOALS
Dissemination of relevant articles on diabetes and nutrition in order to keep members enlightened. Articles would be posted weekly and members are expected to read the articles and can ask questions related to the articles if the need arises. /li>
Counseling of diabetics in terms of what foods they can eat.
Ensure proper use of glucometer and adequate monitoring of blood glucose levels.
Share proven diabetic meal recipes for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels and losing weight.
Answer any questions from members on diabetes, complications and effective management.
Follow-up on diabetic members to ensure that their blood glucose levels remain within the normal ranges at all times. Please note that the forum CANNOT substitute your regular hospital visits (if you are diabetic) to follow-up with your doctor. It is only meant to compliment your regular hospital visits.
MODUS OPERANDI
(1) Membership
This is open to all irrespective of sex, religion, region, country, health status (diabetics and non-diabetics), marital status, etc.
(2) Registration
(a) Ordinary Membership: This entails just clicking the group’s invite link and you will be automatically added to the forum as an ordinary member.
(b) Special Membership: For diabetics, pre-diabetics or those who wish to lose weight and need a thorough analysis of their current status so that they can be guided appropriately in line with goals 2 – 6 above, there is need fill an online form (questionnaire) in addition to joining the forum using the above invite link. Even if you are diabetic you can choose to be an ordinary member, but you will not enjoy goals 2 – 6 to the fullest. In addition to submitting a filled Special Membership Form (SMF) online, one MUST be in possession of a functional glucometer (for measuring blood glucose levels) or can have unrestricted access to one. You can fill and submit the form and purchase the glucometer thereafter or gain access to one. Your blood glucose CANNOT be adequately monitored with it. However, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you buy your own glucometer set (glucometer pack, test strips, lancets) which sells for about N13,000 in Nigeria and about SR 130 – 200 (on saudi.souq.com). From the foregoing requirements for special members, it is clear that special members MUST have SELF-DISCIPLINE and be ever ready to join hands with the admins to do the needful. Any disease management entails high sense of self-discipline in adhering to medications and doctor’s advice. This cannot be over-emphasized.
(c) Form: Filling this questionnaire is a PRE-REQUISITE for one to be registered under the special membership category. The form consists of 3 sections (A, B & C) and about 50 questions. These questions have been carefully created to capture all the required information necessary to understand the patient’s current health condition and diet. Questions marked with an asterisk (*) are MANDATORY and must be filled before you can submit the form. It takes about 20 min to fill it online. Section A: Consists of patient’s basic data such as name, email, address, occupation, etc. Section B: Consists of diabetic-related data such as weight, height, diabetic history, glucometer use and readings, insulin injection, etc. Some of the questions can apply to anyone who wishes to lose weight only. Section C: Consists of the patient’s dietary details such as one’s specific meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, fruits, etc.
To fill the form, login with your Google account login details. If you don’t have a Google account but already have an existing email address, you can create a Google account using that email address. If you don’t have an email address, then, you can create one with Gmail. When you are done filling the form, you should click on the ‘SUBMIT’ button. Admins will review your forwarded filled form and give you feedback. If there is need to find out more about your filled form, you may be contacted privately via Telegram or mobile phone by one of the admins.
