Nobody wakes up and plans to lose a leg.
But that’s what diabetes can do.
Let me tell you something people don’t like to hear:
When your foot starts smelling, turning black, or refusing to heal after a small cut—that’s not village people. That’s diabetes.
It starts quietly:
—You pee too often.
—You’re always tired.
—You feel pins and needles in your feet.
—Small wound refuses to heal.
Before you know it, one toe is swollen.
Next thing? Doctor says: *“We have to cut it off before it spreads.”*
You think this is film trick?
Go to any teaching hospital and see for yourself.
Amputations everywhere. Not because of accidents. Because of sugar.
But you still hear people saying:
— “We will all die one day.”
— “It’s not that serious, jare.”
— “Nobody has it in my family.”
— “Doctor is it your sugar?”
Okay now.
A colleague husband was warned last year to stop sugary drinks but he refused.
Now, the careless man was lay on that theatre bed to cut off his foot because of diabetes he ignored for years —you’ll know what’s serious and what’s not.
Let’s stop pretending.
Diabetes doesn’t just affect your sugar level.
It messes with your:
—Eyes (many go blind)
—Kidneys (many end up on dialysis)
—Nerves (some can’t feel their legs again)
—Sex life (yes, that too)
And guess what?
It didn’t start in one day.
It started with:
—Sugary drinks
—Skipping real food
—Too much white rice, bread, noodles
—No movement
—Constant snacking
Now you know.
Diabetic foot is real.
Gangrene is real.
Amputation is not hype.
So if you’re reading this and still playing with your food choices…
You are not being brave.
You’re being reckless.
Choose life.
Fix your diet.
Control your blood sugar before it controls you.
Health is wealth and it's your responsibility to take care of yourself before it is too late.
