Yep, looking at the title says it all. I haven't told my family about this yet. How do one tell their close ones about this? My family do not have a habit of calling each other weekly nor video call (one of my colleague said that he video calls his family every week). We usually send each other random sms throughout the day. Given that I stay alone and my family is in a different country, my parents do worry quite a fair bit about me. I guess its also because I am the youngest in the family.
If I don't tell them, they would feel really hurt that I hide this from them. But timing is everything. If I tell them face to face, it isn't easy too. I can imagine seeing the expressions on their face plus this time around, I am going home for a week and bringing my mum for a short holiday. It would spoil her holiday.
In the end I just told them that I am going for a health check and I guess next week I'll tell them that the result of the blood test is well.. diabetes.. Hopefully a week for it to sink in and process and move on from it. I have the feeling that my mum would be devastated. Sigh
