1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Burgal up wet strawberry letta subject diabetic husband. Yeah, he's

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: not me. It's not me, alright, Dear Stephen Shirley. I

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: have been with my husband for almost sixteen years. We

4
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: have three beautiful, healthy children. After a second child was born,

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: my husband was diagnosed with type two diabetes. Right after

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: he was diagnosed, he was eating healthy, exercising, monitoring his

7
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: blood sugar, and taking care of himself. Now it all

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: has pretty much stopped because he does not take care

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: of his health. He experiences neuropathy which is severe, which

10
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: is a nerve pain and impotence. His neuropathy was so

11
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: bad that he was taking pain medication and almost overdosed

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: on it. You would think after that incident he would

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: get his act together and start managing his illness. Well,

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: he still has not. He doesn't want to exercise, and

15
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: he no longer monitors his blood sugar. Even his teeth

16
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: are becoming a problem. How can I get him to

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: wake up and start taking better care of himself. I

18
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: can only do so much for him. If he doesn't

19
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: want to exercise and monitor his blood sugar, what more

20
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: can I possibly do? Well? You know, I don't know

21
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: that there is more that you can possibly do if

22
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: you're if you're doing all that you can, because one

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: thing is for sure, you can't make anyone do anything.

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: You can't make him that. Your husband has to want

25
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: to change, He has to want to get better and

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: want to get healthier. UM. I know, maybe you can

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: appeal to him on behalf of your three beautiful healthy

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: children that you have. Um, you know that he should

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: take better care of himself. Perhaps he's depressed because of

30
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: the type two diabetes is maybe he could see a

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: doctor because of that, and then you know, maybe if

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: he's treated for the depression, maybe he can go back

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: to the doctor and and possibly you know, start all

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: over again taking better care of himself. But one thing

35
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: is for sure, he's got to want to do it,

36
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: though you can't make him do it. Steve Well m M.

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: The thing that sticks out the most in this whole

38
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: letter is, yeah, you got to diabetes, were too late phones,

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: which is all I know about it. And let me

40
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: just say that, let me just say that, if you

41
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: have tied to diabetes, turn your damn radio all because

42
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna like nothing nothing to say. We have

Speaker 1: an expert here, Well we got it. Time you don't know.

44

Speaker 1: If you don't even know if he's gonna have a seg,

45
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: you don'na take care of himself at all. So listen

46
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: to me. If you have type two diabetes, turn your

47
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,679
