Do those Depends come in double X? #AgingAintForChumps
My man Hank! Hank is an 89 year-old diabetic that has been enjoying life with the disease for the past 34 years. After reading Hank’s 13-step routine to a happier healthier life, I realized I’m actually doing most, if not all, of his steps. Well, maybe except for step twelve, the one about “taking a shower each day!” 😉
Honestly, it’s good to read about someone in front of me having success at managing their health care and enjoying life with diabetes. However, I would like to improve upon what Hank has accomplished by not having to take any medications. But heck, if I’m blessed enough to reach age 89 like Hank and taking only two oral medications and have both of my feet intact, TOUCHDOWN!!
BTW, does anyone have some Old Spice I could borrow? 😉
[Diabetes Health] He is 89 years old and the picture of health. Yet looking at the robust, healthy, laughing gentleman sitting across the desk from me on this Saturday morning, one would never guess his age. Hank has been married 50 years, is active in his church, and hosts a prayer breakfast most Saturday mornings.
But this very active senior also has diabetes.
His diabetes began some 34 years ago. He now has a health team he consults with regularly, including an endocrinologist. At present, he takes two oral medications and is on a strict diet. He hasn’t always been so careful with his food plan, he says, but now realizes the value of strict adherence to drug and dietary guides, especially because of nerve damage to his feet. His last A1c was 8, and his doctors would like to get it down to 7. Read the entire Diabetes Health article.
