Inā he manawa lōʻihi ka maʻi o ka mea i loaʻa i ka maʻi maʻamau, a inā no ka loaʻa wale nō kona maʻi maʻi, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e makemake e hoʻolohe i ka mea a nā poʻe waho e haʻi iā ia i ka mea a me ka mea ʻaʻole hoʻi, a pehea hoʻi e hoʻoholo ai ke maʻi i kona ola.

He mea nui ia e hōʻike iā lākou i ka mea e pono ai e ke kanaka a pehea e hāʻawi ai i ke kōkua i kūkulu ʻia. A hiki i ka maʻi diabetes, ʻoiai inā he maikaʻi nā manaʻo o ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, e ʻike ʻia kekahi mau huaʻōlelo a me nā manaʻo hoʻi me ka huhū.
Ke hōʻike nei mākou iā ʻoe i kahi moʻo e hōʻike nei i ka poʻe me ka maʻi diabetes.
"ʻAʻole au i ike i ka maʻa maʻi!"
Ua hewa ka huaʻōlelo ʻo "maʻi". ʻAʻole ka mālama a kekahi, akā ke manaʻo nei kekahi ua kau lākou i kahi hōʻailona ma luna ona. ʻO ka hele ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi, ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo i kahi mea e like me ke kanaka; Eʻoi aku ka pololei ma ka haʻi ʻana i kahi "he kanaka me ka maʻi maʻi."
"E hiki paha iā ʻoe ke hana i kēia?"
Pono nā kānaka me ka maʻi maʻi e pili ana i nā mea e ʻai ai ma mua o kēlā me kēia meaʻai. Hoʻomau mau ka meaʻai i ko lākou mau manaʻo, a hoʻomaka mau ʻia lākou e noʻonoʻo e pili i nā mea ʻaʻole pono iā lākou. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻoe ka mea i kuleana no ke olakino o kāu mea i aloha ai (ma ka manaʻo, ʻaʻole ka makua o kahi keiki me ka maʻi diabetes) ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā mea āpau e makemake ai e ʻai ma lalo o ka ipu nui a ʻaʻole hoʻi e hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoi ʻole. Ma kahi e waiho i nā ʻōlelo kūkākūkā i nā mea like ʻole e like me ʻoe "Maʻa ʻoe e hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kēia" a i ʻole "Mai ʻai ʻoe, aia kou maʻi maʻi," nīnau ʻia i ka kanaka inā makemake ʻo ia i ka meaʻai olakino ma mua o nā mea āna i koho ai. Ma ke ʻano: "ʻIke wau he cheeseburger me nā ʻuala he mea ʻono loa, akā, ke manaʻo nei paha ʻoe e makemake ʻoe i kahi ʻōlena me ka moa iʻa a me nā ʻano ʻai i ʻai, a ʻoi aku ka mea ola, he aha kāu ʻōlelo?" Pono nā poʻe me ka maʻi maʻi e kākoʻo a hoʻoikaika i nā mea ʻole. Ma ke ala, ua kākau mua mākou i pehea e hana aku ai me ka makemake no ka meaʻai ʻōpala i ka maʻi maʻi, hiki ke loaʻa.
"Ke hoʻomau nei ʻoe i ka insulin i nā manawa a pau? He mea kemupala! Aia paha ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hele ʻana i ka papaʻai?" (no ka poʻe me ka maʻi type 1)
Hoʻomaka ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka ʻenehana hana maʻi e mālama ai i ka maʻi diabetes i nā makahiki he 100 i hala. Ke holomua nei nā ʻenehana, ʻo ke ʻano kiʻekiʻe o ka insulin ka mea kiʻekiʻe a hiki i ka poʻe me ka maʻi diabetes ke ola lōʻihi a me ka hoʻokō i ke ola, me ka ʻole o kēia lāʻau lapaʻau, ʻaʻole wale nō. No laila, ma mua o kou ʻōlelo ʻana i kēia, e aʻo i ka nīnau.
"Ua hoʻāʻo ʻoe i ka homeopathy, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ka maʻi hypnosis, e hele i ka mea hoʻōla, a laila?".
ʻOiaʻiʻo ka hapanui o nā poʻe me ka maʻi diabetes ua lohe i kēia nīnau ma mua o hoʻokahi manawa. Auwe, e hana ana me nā manaʻo maikaʻi a hāʻawi i kēia mau mea maikaʻi e pili ana i ka "kemika" a me nā injections, hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke noʻonoʻo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo maoli o ka maʻi o ka maʻi a ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike e hiki i kahi mea hoʻōla ke hiki ke hou i nā maʻi pancreatic e hana ana i ka insulin (inā e ʻōlelo ana mākou e pili ana i ka maʻi type 1) a i ʻole e hoʻololi i ke ola no ke kanaka a hōʻole i ka metabolic syndrome (inā ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka maʻi maʻamau 2).
"He maʻi maʻi koʻu kupuna wahine, a ua ʻoki ʻia kona wāwae."
ʻAʻole makemake ʻia kahi kanaka i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi e haʻi ʻia i nā moʻolelo weliweli e pili ana i kou kupuna wahine. Hiki i ka poʻe ke noho me ka maʻi diabetes no nā makahiki he nui me ka hoʻopiʻi ʻole ʻana. ʻAʻole kū kū ka lāʻau lapaʻau a hāʻawi mau i nā ala hou a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau e mālama i ka maʻi diabetes i ka mālama ʻana a ʻaʻole ia e hoʻomaka ma mua o ka amputation a me nā hopena weliweli.
"Diabetes? ʻAʻole makaʻu, hiki ke ʻoi aʻe ke keu."
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke makemake nei ʻoe e hōʻeuʻeu i kahi kanaka. Akā ke hoʻokō ʻoe i ka hopena kūlike. ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia nā maʻi a me nā pilikia. Akā ʻo ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā maʻi o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe he like ʻole me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e ʻike i ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi: ʻilihune a olakino a momona hoʻi a maʻi. I kēlā me kēia. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻōlelo ʻana: "ʻAe, ʻike wau he maʻi maikaʻi loa ka maʻi maʻa. Akā he ʻano hana ʻoe he hana nui. Inā hiki iaʻu ke kōkua me kahi mea, ʻōlelo (e hāʻawi wale i ke kōkua inā kūkaukau maoli ʻoe e hoʻolako. Inā ʻaʻole.) ʻoi aku ka ʻōlelo hope loa i ke kī ʻole. Pehea e kākoʻo ai i ka mea maʻi me ka maʻi maʻi, e heluhelu ʻoe ma aneʻi).
"Ua loaʻa ʻoe iā ʻoe i ka maʻi diabetes? ʻAʻole hoʻi ʻoe e ʻōlelo he mai kou."
E hoʻomaka me, ke ʻano ʻole o kēia mau huaʻōlelo i kekahi ʻano. Ke kamaʻilio leo nui ʻana i kahi maʻi o kekahi (inā ʻaʻole hoʻomaka ke kanaka e kamaʻilio me ia iho) he mea ʻole ʻole, ʻoiai ʻoe i hoʻāʻo e haʻi i kahi mea maikaʻi.

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kāu ʻōlelo e hōʻoweliweli aku nei i kahi o kahi ʻē aʻe, a ʻo nā mea āpau āu e loaʻa ai, he huhū a he huhū wale nō paha.
"E, he wai kau kiʻekiʻe nāu e loaʻa ai, pehea ʻoe i lawe ai i kēia?"
Hoʻololi nā pae glucose koko mai kēlā me kēia lā. Inā loaʻa kahi koko nui i ke kālā, hiki i ke kumu he nui no kēia, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokele ʻia kekahi o lākou - no ka laʻana, ke anu a me ke kaumaha paha. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ia no kahi maʻi o ka maʻi maʻi e ʻike i nā helu maikaʻi ʻole, a ʻo nā manawa pinepine kona ʻeha ʻana a i ʻole ka pau ʻole.
