A tri- monthly check up was due today. For the last three months my body has been struggling to stay alive. Being diabetic for the last 15 years( was diagnosed at the age of 45), I took the pills religiously, in the morning and at night. Rarely missed the prescription. The disease said to be inherited with no cure in sight. Once the doctor said that this disease will eventually kill you and the medication only prolongs your life a little bit. Duh! aren’t we all going to die eventually…. what do you mean …..you are such a dick !
In a way that’s a truth as many of my family including Mak and Ayah died of diabetic complications. I know that but telling your patient off like that would be irresponsible.
The lab results showed positive outcome. All readings are conservative; stay closed to the benchmark. So hooray! let’s celebrate. My daughter treated me with Nasi Kalut in Shah Alam —- a melayu nasi kandar.
Next appointment is in four- month’s time.
