San Diego, USA - It's rare for people with diabetes live long in the middle of his life patients often experience complications of other diseases. But diabetics can survive well up to the age of 90 years. What is the secret of longevity?
Bob Krause, a grandfather who almost entered the age of 90, was crowned the oldest diabetic patients with the longest life in America. Because the grandfather who lives in San Diego USA has 85 years of living with the deadly disease diabetes.
The secret of longevity grandfather Krause is he still routine insulin therapy without getting bored or discouraged and so keep the food. Science 'know yourself' grandfather made it is not exposed to other complications that are usually experienced by people with diabetes.
The temptation of food or live carelessly be withheld by applying a disciplined life is good. For grandfather Krause, eating is for life not for pleasure or just lust.
Bob Krause with Type 1 diabetes since the age of 5 years. Type 1 diabetes is diabetes due to heredity or damage to the pancreas. Now he was already almost stepped 90 years, meaning there are 85 years of living with diabetes Krause.
"Krause has lived longer than the life expectancy of a normal healthy person born in 1921. He knew that he had to deal with this disease and he sees as part of his life, he does not let diabetes made him desperate," Dr. Patricia Wu, the treating doctor Bob Krause, as reported by FoxNews, Friday (23/09/2011).
About 3 million Americans live with type 1 diabetes, a chronic disease in which the body does not make enough insulin needed to convert blood sugar into energy, so life should depend on insulin injections. The exact cause is unknown, although genetics and autoimmune problems play a role.
In general, the life expectancy of people with diabetes reduced a lot because they have to face a high risk of serious health complications, including heart disease, stroke,
blindness, kidney damage and amputations.
Before the discovery of insulin, a diabetes diagnosis was a death sentence with expected survival of only a few years.
Krause lucky as to be diagnosed with diabetes not long after the commercial production of insulin made and widely available. The incident occurred in 1926 when he was 5 years old and living in Detroit.
Krause's sister also died of diabetes. His life could not be saved after being diagnosed with diabetes because at that insulin is not available. He was diagnosed with diabetes one year earlier than Krause.
"I watched Jackie (sister Krause) died of starvation to death. Before insulin, diabetics would just die because eating does not make any difference. What you eat can not be changed and you are actually starving to death because the body can not absorb anything, "said Krause.
Krause began insulin therapy since the age of 6 years. At that time, people with diabetes should first boil glass syringes with long needles, as well as the need to sharpen the tip when the needle has begun to dull.
Because the thought of how the state of his mother after losing a child due to diabetes, Krause does not give up with diabetes. He underwent a strict diet by weighing every meal he ate. He also inject insulin in the arms or legs at every meal.
Since 1978, Krause has relied on an insulin pump to adjust the dose to the stomach, though he enters the amount of the dose himself rather than have to rely on automatic insulin dose to give the pump throughout the day.
"To keep diabetes under control you only eat the food you need to before you perform the activity. I eat to stay alive instead of eating all the time, or for pleasure," said Krause.
Now Krause could not be as active as they used to be, so there was plenty of food needed to fuel the body.
For breakfast every day, he ate a bowl and five prunes (purple fruit like grapes). Krause does not usually lunch and dinner salad with some lean meat (lean meat) for dinner.
"I was surprised when they told me that I was the oldest, because I know there are others out there. I certainly did not think I was the only one," Krause said after receiving the medal.
