This is truly my experience , once i had heard one of the famous diabetic research doctor tell the patience at a meeting about some celebrities survival of juvenile diabetes. That time i asked him sir how can an average earning man experience or have all the facilities of these patients whom u spoke , so why dont u point and expose some ordinary people who are living good or much better , when compared to the facilities available to them than the rich.
from that time i used to think how can i share my life experience to the coming generation to fight diabetes and be cool. I was a student of standard seven when i was diagnosed as a diabetic. the first symptoms was tiredness,sleepy ,frequent urination, mouth dryness ,thirst hunger and loss of weight. I was carrying these symptoms for nearly an year . later i dropped down in my studies i started forgetting all my works and my school authorities told my mom that something was happening to me. At those dys there was no small children to be seen at our place with this illness. And can anyone guess what was my sugar when my first urine and blood was checked / my urine colour was brick red and my sugar was 625mg.
Soon i was referred to kottayam medical college cos there was the diabetic research doctor Gee varghese. I was in a comma could not walk ,skinny and with severe tonsillitis.
I was admitted there for nearly one and half months with lots of injections etc ,etc. My doctor made me take my own injection. Then i was discharged and my sugar was 225 at that time. I was told that if took care the sickness would be completely cured. later it was difficult to travel fom kollam my native to kottayam so i started my life at Holycross hospital at Kollam. My doctor was Dr. Kurien Mapillachery and Dr. Varghese Kurien. But i started visiting the medical library and found the truth that my illness was up to my grave. So naturally i was disappointed, and my parents too thought my life is short lived and did never encourage me for my better future cos they felt i may fall sick. But as time passed i lost my diet was careless took sweets , and normal diet with insulin. i was not given classes or advises by none how to survive this. And i lost my career too i was not able to do my higher studies or make my dreams, still i was living as anyone normal. later my brother too became a victim of this but he was only 5 years of age.
So my family got used we were three and two of us diabetic and in between us our sister no problems. we had nothing only insulin and sure good food . nothing more could be provided by our parents in their financial background. And i started earning my money from the age of 17 after my pre degree as a teacher cos i had to take care of myself and my family. So that might have helped me unknowingly to maintain my diabetes through my physical strain which was a blessing for my sickness. And i was married , better saying is my parents were saved when my husband came forward to marry me without any demands knowing i am a diabetic. So , i really consider him a real man cos at those days parents of diabetic daughters used to hide the sickness if at all one was suffering to get them married and they had to give a huge sum ,the money for the lifelong treatment. but her in my case a man came forward and blessed my life,without aay demands completely free ha.
At the age of 20 i got married , my next phase of life with my first experiment will a diabetic give birth? K ,friends its time to sleep my next blog will a diabetic give birth to healthy kids wait k......see u tomorrow gud night and take care.
