Day 1 of living with diabetes... at age 28. Was just diagnosed by the doctor yesterday. The doctor was surprised that I didn't have much of a reaction to his declaration. I guess I was just numb but also semi expecting it. This is the body finally rebelling against me after the multiple abuse of good food and sweet drinks. And its time for repentance.
Maybe it is typical with all new diabetes sufferers to go searching online, suddenly uncertain on what we can and cannot eat. If not all of them does that, well I do. Second guessing myself in my choices of food.. over simple things like... Apple...I also googled over every little thing.. like... cold hands.. is it due to the diabetes or is it because the office temperature is just a bit low.. or the constant headache....
With time, I'll slowly learn my ways and also hopefully be able to maintain and combat this disease. My only concern now is how I should tell my parents. My mum's side have a history of this and she was always very concerned over me having this disease, how do I tell her? This isn't something easily shared with my parents, not on the phone. The next time I meet them, I can't really tell them then too. It would destroy the festive mood, no? Dilemma.
