It’s a busy day. We went to a Chinese Doctor at Binondo today for check up and so far my blood sugar is getting better. Its not as high as before. My hba1c on 2011 was 13% and the normal range is 4-5%. So when I heard about Dr. Tan, I never wasted time, and asked for the herbal medicine. I take all the herbs eventhough the taste was so bad. I am determine to lower my blood sugar so I have to take whatever it takes. Then after 6 months my hba1c result was 9%. I feel good because I am not taking any medication, just diet, exercise and the herbs from Dr. Tan. He also found out that I am acidic with joint problems and gall stone. Just last month, I decided to have my hba1c again and the result was 6.8%. I am so happy that I am almost on the normal range. I don’t take the medications because it just made me feel nauseated, bloated and exhausted. I am so thankful to God that I found the right doctor for my family.
Hubby also loves Dr. Tan herbs. He is taking it too for his fatty liver and gallstone. So far his health is improving. I also got a chance to meet other patients who has cancer and become hopeful that they will feel better. Some even improved a lot. So this afternoon, it was a long queue but it’s okay. There are patients from Visayas and Northern part of Luzon. I pray to God that they will feel better.
I am also positive that my blood sugar will be going better since I am doing my best to keep it on a normal range. I remember the first time I found out that I have diabetes, I was so depressed and shocked and I really don’t know where to start because I don’t have guidance from families because they don’t have it (thanks God). So I just do my own research and read a lot of successful stories and I also found out the right method for my body. It’s not easy. It’s a long process and until now I still have down moment on dealing my diabetes. There are days that its high but there is always a new day to start so I don’t dwell to much of high numbers anymore. I finally know how to manage it and realize that it’s a lifetime commitment to myself. So if ever I failed, I don’t get mad of myself instead I told myself that it’s okay, we can always restart.
Since I found out that I have diabetes, I changed my diet so from 180lbs. I am now 140lbs. The first I avoided was coffee. I was a coffee addict and since I started avoided it, I feel better. At first, it was hard. I have cravings but I was determined. The next food I avoided is rice. I can eat 3 cups of rice every meal before but now, 1 cup of rice is enough. It was hard and my body had some withdrawal syndrome but I never gave in. I am thankful that I have discipline to reach my goal.
I realized that we can always get medications but if we will not change the way we eat or change our lifestyle the medications are useless. So if you have diabetes like me, take charge of your health now.
