Since a month ago, I have faced several routines that are slightly different from usual. I had to change a few things in my life, complete a lot of notes from specialist doctors to make my life last longer. Everything must be done slowly in order to be a happy healthy person, reduce anything excessive and measure everything that enters the body to reduce the risk of complications.
This morning, before going to the specialist, I took time to have breakfast at a coffee shop not far from my house and still headed towards the hospital. This morning it looks very bright, even hot weather tends to cover the city of Medan today. I parked the car in a courtyard of the Potte House that had just opened, it seemed that the workers were still busy cleaning tables and tidying up the slightly messy glasses.
I ordered a cup of americano and avocado toast which will give my body a lot of energy, because today will be very busy with various series of blood tests and also waiting in line to get treatment from the doctor. I'm a little nervous because I just told my cousin who also has diabetes, he said a lot of things about HBA1C that I will be dealing with today as well.
Actually I was a bit at peace when I found out that I had a history of diabetes, but it turned out that peace only lasted a few moments, and while I was researching diabetes on the internet all day, I became very nervous, until this morning. My heart felt like it was beating really fast, my blood seemed to be flowing fast and my face was a little pale, luckily today I used a very thick lipstick to get rid of that pale face.
I sipped coffee slowly while eating avocado toast which was very aesthetic, each bite slowly entered my mouth. A very convenient breakfast, without the hassle of preparing as usual. I slowly drank my favorite coffee at the moment, without realizing it, the cup of coffee was finished and I had to go and head to the hospital immediately because the specialist doctor's schedule was about to start, I was very lazy to have to queue long if I arrived late.
Arriving at the hospital, I waited for 30 minutes and met with the doctor. Doctor Andri is a patient doctor, he explained many things about the results of the HBA1C test that had come out and said that I was not feeling well. The test results this time made me a little weak, 14.05% is a bad result, the normal is below 6.5% and my results are very far from normal (abnormal) and I have to do a series of blood tests to check the thyroid hormone. I was referred to the laboratory and blood was taken (again) and the doctor will make an observation next week. I have to come back to the hospital next week.
After that, the doctor gave me 2 types of insulin which I had to use every day before eating and before going to bed. A little scary actually, I don't like needles and drugs. After being given a lot of advice from doctors that using insulin is commonplace for diabetics, even insulin is one of the efforts so that I don't have complications and control blood sugar, besides that insulin doesn't have a residue like other medicines.
Now, insulin is a way for me to survive, and also I need coffee to relieve my anxiety, caffeine really affects my life for the better, of course caffeine without sugar, it's much better.
See you the next time hive friends!
