Diabetes.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know sometime soon I will also have diabetes. I am predisposed to the disease as my paternal grandmother and father have it, I’m a high birth weight baby and I am clinically obese now. My dad is a doctor who is still in denial that he has it and would often just tell us what he has is chemical imbalance :) He doesn’t need insulin YET but I hope it won’t progress to needing it. Right now, we are careful with his extremities as he doesn’t need to have it punctured as wounds of diabetic take a long time to heal. He uses diabetic socks too.

Would I want to be like that in ten years? Definitely not. That’s why I should act now.
