Metaphor A to Z
Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is an impairment of the body’s utilization of sugar.
Sugar is used in several languages to describe sweetness and love. Metaphoric statements and ‘pet names’ such as ‘Give me some sugar,’ ‘Honey,’ ‘Sweetness’ and ‘Sugar love’ are abundantly used in the English language with those we feel close to.
The problem with diabetes is not that there is not enough sugar available; it is that the body is not able to metabolize it normally.
Emotionally, there is a hidden fear of sweetness and intimacy. Just as the body can’t completely transform the sugar into a usable form, we may have love in our life, but somehow we are not able to receive or experience it fully.
We might be in a loving, nurturing relationship or be the member of a very loving family, yet we are simply unable or unwilling to feel the love at a deep level.
The problem, therefore, is that we have a block to receiving nurturing and love. This is often an ancestral issue passed on inter-generationally.
