Ngokuhlonipha lolu suku, sithanda ukweseka bonke abafundi bethu nalabo ababhalisile ngamaqiniso aqinisekisa impilo nezingcaphuno zabantu abajwayele isifo sikashukela.
Isikhungo Sikashukela saseJoslin singenye yezinhlangano ezinkulu zocwaningo emhlabeni, imitholampilo nezinhlangano zemfundo. Ibizwe ngemuva kuka-Eliot Joslin, udokotela ophambili we-endocrinologist ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, owayengowokuqala ukukhuluma ngokubaluleka kokuziqapha ekwelapheni isifo sikashukela esincike ku-insulin.
Ngo-1948, uDkt Eliot wanquma ukuvuza abantu abaphila nesifo sikashukela sohlobo 1 iminyaka engama-25 noma ngaphezulu - ngesibindi sabo ekulweni nokugula ushukela - indondo yeVictory ("Ukunqoba"). Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abantu abanesifo sikashukela baqala ukuhlala isikhathi eside, ngakho-ke bayeka ukudlulisela indondo endala futhi bathola nemiklomelo emisha - yeminyaka engama-50, 75 ne-80 noma ngaphezulu yempilo enesifo sikashukela.
Njengamanje, bangaphezulu kuka-5,000 abantu abathole le ndondo iminyaka engu-50 abanesifo sikashukela (abacishe babe ngama-50 kubo ezweni lethu), abantu abayi-100 bathole indondo yeminyaka engu-75 yokuhlangana ngesibindi nesifo sikashukela. Ekupheleni kuka-2017, abantu abayi-11 badlula isikhathi seminyaka engama-80 yokuphila nesifo sikashukela!
Nakhu okwashiwo nguDkt Eliot Jocelyn ngesifo sikashukela:
"Asikho esinye isifo esinjalo lapho sibaluleke khona ukuthi isiguli siyasiqonda ngokwakhe. Kepha ukusindisa umuntu onesifo sikashukela, akulona ulwazi olubalulekile kuphela. Lesi sifo sihlola isimilo somuntu, futhi ukuze sikwazi ukumelana nalesi simo ngempumelelo, isiguli kufanele sithembeke kuye uqobo, kufanele sizilawule ube nesibindi. "
Nazi izingcaphuno ezimbalwa ezivela kuzindondo ezivela emazweni ahlukene:
"Ngithathe umhlalaphansi odokotela abaningi. Mina ngokwami angikwazi ukukuthola lokhu, ngakho-ke kwesinye isikhathi kufanele ngifune udokotela omusha we-endocrinologist."
"Lapho ngithola le ndondo, ngaphinde ngadlulisela izitifiketi zami kubantu ngibonga engisinde kubo futhi ngiphile iminyaka eminingi. Naphezu kwayo yonke imizamo yami."
"Kwatholakala ukuthi nginesifo sikashukela ngineminyaka engu-1. Udokotela watshela abazali bami ukuthi ngizokufa eminyakeni eyishumi yesithathu yokuphila. Umama akazange angitshele lokhu ngize ngineminyaka engu-50."
"Bengingeke ngithi lokhu ukugula okungathi sína lokhu. Bekugcizelela kakhulu ukudla, besazi ukuthi kufanele sidle ama-buckwheat, iklabishi, i-oatmeal, amaswidi nakanjani. Akekho owazi izinga labo likashukela, lilinganiswa ezibhedlela kuphela. Namuhla kulula kakhulu, wonke umuntu unama-glucometer, ungazilinganisa ushukela uqobo, ubale umthamo we-insulin ... angikaze ngizithathe ngigula, bengingacabangi ukuthi ngihlukile kwabanye abantu. Ngimane ngifaka imijovo nokudla okuhlukile. "
"Ngifuna ukuphila! Into esemqoka ukuthi ungasabi futhi ungabi nalutho. Umuthi wethu usuvele usezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu - lokhu akukhona ukuthi bekuyiminyaka engu-50 edlule. Sidinga ukuxhumana nodokotela, kukhona ama-insulin amahle, futhi ukukhetha okulungile kuzosiza ukugcina ushukela ulawulwa."
"Ngangiwumbala, nginamahloni - ukunginikeza umjovo, umama ompofu wayezungeza wonke umziba ..."
