Blissful blindside - NOT!

So we all know I am diabetic. Been so since ... 2001? Being a research hog that I am, it took me no time to understand just what elevated blood sugar means. Simply said, things can get messy. Diabetic complications maim and/or kill people ... eventually! I emphasize "eventually" because the decay is never abrupt. Rather, it is a string of deteriorating effects with sad stories attached to each one. Sad mostly because for the most part, many of these tragedies are avoidable.

Oh well.

From the other end of the episode reads the causes of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) - infection sets in at the onset of Diabetes Mellitus, or generally during a state of a weakened immune system. Diabetes weakens the immune system.

Tadah!

Now my story begins ...

SO stop reading now ..this will be depressing. I only intend this to be my personal waste bin. Hehehe
