Well, my cousin (who will not be named) has type two diabetes. She's gotten into things she really shouldn't have (smoking, alcohal, ect.) and I am worried about her health. Is she going to be alright is these actions continue?
"Is she going to be alright is these actions continue?"
A big NO! Over the past several decades there have been countless warnings - TV and every type of print media - regarding health risks associated with cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse.
Is she controlling and managing her diabetes or playing the ignore game? If the latter severe problems will arise. For example, in 2006 an estimated 65,000 Americans had a lower limb - foot/leg - amputated because of uncontrolled diabetes. Pretty good business for the local wheelchair supplier. There is help available if she is willing to make a lifestyle change. Her doctor is a good source. Good luck
