The Body Talks……Just Listen

Things are related, experiences are interconnected. You never know whatever have learnt in your journey of life may come into use for some bigger cause, for some good reason. Nothing goes waste. I remember my grand mother had Diabetes. Being a diabetic patient her health suffered a lot. There use to be variations in her blood glucose level, sometimes, it goes so high and suddenly the blood glucose level falls and comes to a level becoming nil. When blood sugar level use to goes down her body start giving indications, she used to become unconscious, and speak in a faltering way. Sometimes she even fainted. After consulting to the doctor, who advised us to immediately give a mixture of water and sugar, or glucose mixture first, before taking her to the hospital, whenever we face such conditions. We followed his instructions. And let me tell you, with aging this life taking attack of diabetes started falling on her more frequently and this advised has not only helped us but had saved her life innumerable times. However, one day she left me. And her soul parted.

My uncle, who is also a diabetic patient, suffers with weight loss and weakness. One day, while he was sleeping he started feeling unconscious, and couldn’t explain anything to my aunt that what he was going through. He failed to utter words also. And my aunt and who got extremely panicked couldn’t understand what she needs to do first. She started asking her children to take him to the hospital. As they were preparing to go to the hospital I and my mother noticed his conditions we asked her to first give him the glucose mixture she said there is no glucose at home so we told her to give him a mixture of water and sugar, before taking him to the hospital. She was little hesitant to follow this, as she thought that this might not harm him and could land him in danger. But, as she also knew about this immediate treatment and how it would help him to reach hospital, she followed and gave him the mixture. However, he started feeling little conscious and better, they rushed him to the hospital where after being given the glucose drip and few check ups he was discharged from the hospital and returned home. This in turned saved his health, his body and his life.

The moral of the story is that we should never neglect any indications, any signs our body showing us. Any external indication reflects that something internally is not really well. Our body talks, we must listen to it. Pay attention, don’t ignore.
