Type 2 diabetes
Henry W. Wright’s perspective
Possible spiritual roots
Fear of disappointing others, fear of failure, or fear of people.
Fear combines with a focus on performance and inner drivenness — the need to meet expectations and prevent failure.
A focus on performance and inner drivenness reinforce fear, tension, and pressure to act.
Wright distinguishes this profile from type 1 diabetes: he describes it as a fear disorder in which white blood cells disrupt the function of pancreatic tissue but do not destroy it.
Spiritual response
Recognize fear of people, failure, and disappointing others; reject the compulsion to prove one's worth; receive God's love and acceptance independent of performance; pray for peace, freedom from pressure, and healing.
Wright also mentions difficulty receiving love, rejection carried over into relationships, “unloving spirits,” and the “spirit of death.”
