Are coffee and other sweets silent killers?

My friend loved to eat sweet foods, loved coffee, cakes, and soft drinks and only stopped when she was diagnosed with diabetes. She was doing this in her workplace and at her home. One time she visited home and noticed the sachets of coffee she brought with her. I told her to drink in moderation but she said she consumes 4 mugs a day. Then one day, she scratched a wound on her leg and that wound never healed until the day she died. One morning she cried because she cannot stand up, she lost her energy. Her left leg cannot walk anyone. She was brought to the doctor and the doctor said her leg needs to be amputated. She died 8 days after in the hospital.
She stopped drinking all sweet liquids but it was too late, so while it is not late, better refrain from drinking too sugary drinks. Heath is wealth. Thanks for reading, sharing is caring.

water is the best drink.
It has no side effects.
sweet foods, carbs, lack of exercise, over eating, over weight will result into diabetes.

I believe you gave her sound advice when you said to consume everything in moderation. Yet if someone chooses not to take your advice, you obviously cannot stop her. In that situation, she is to responsible for her decline.
Really, the perpetrators, in this case, aren't the sweets or the coffee; it's the consumer. If only she had listened to your advice, she may still be able to lead a regular life today.

@rsa101, but it is not only coffee that she likes o ake, but also chocolates, coke, fruit salads with sweetener, and more. She was overweight before and after earning her sickness she was advised to go on diet. But it seems too late. It is better not to abuse our health.

There are so many people around the globe with diabetes. People who are in control of it managed to live longer and because they are disciplined in what they eat, they have no complications. If we are diagnosed with diabetes, that moment alone we have to realize to start a healthy lifestyle. Let go of the days we eat what we want because life is short.

@jeanbug23 , it is good to eat only in moderation. Others eat without limit . Our lifestyle matters most.

I know a lot about this terrible craving for sweetness. I do not have it and rarely have anything with added sweetness, My husband craved a lot of sweet things and it was undiagnosed diabetes that took him from me. Since then I don't even keep a bag of sugar in my house,

@cacay1 It was so unexpected took him in with my stepdaughter on a Wednesday and they kept him to do procedures and on Thursday he was gone. Back in 2017 when it all happened good that no matter what I still had common sense through my sorrow or I swear I would have gone to the hospital and screamed at the doctor that it was his fault but my stepdaughter told me there really was no hope, it was all too far gone,

Uncontrolled diabetes interfere with many important organs of the body - like heart, kidney, eyes , liver etc. Could result in blindness and amputation. However it could be controlled with proper diet and medication. Many people live long, productive lives with diabetes. Some even manage to reverse it and go off medication.

Everything in moderation. Yes sweeteners can be bad for you. Carbohydrates from processed flour can be bad for you. . . but your brain needs carbohydrates for energy, so does your body, so be selective in how you fuel it. Salt can also kill you, as can fat. Yes, I do care.
