Life is tough..but I'm tougher

Profile Information

Date diagnosed

Type of treatment/devices you use
Diet and Exercise
Hello everyone!..I am Leevan and I am 23..I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was 18 years old. Frankly, I am the only one in the family or even in our relatives who has diabetes. So funny, that I am not even a big fun of sweets. The doctor told me that may be it's because of an incident happened to me a long time ago when I was in high school dormitory when I fell down from a top of a double-bed and damaged my pancreas which is the responsible to secrete insulin, as we all know. Actually, I discovered it after a year or 2 when I felt something unusual about myself and went to a doctor for a checkup. Unfortunately, that's all it started. Right now, I just take some herb medications coz I am really scared of synthetic meds, as I believed some (just my opinion) may have cause other problems. Aside of proper diet and exercise, I am also an optimistic person. I am always looking for a brighter side of life. Well, as of now, I am just maintaining my sugar level not below 70s or higher than 120s. Also, with the help of God through my constant prayers and of my mum, who is also a nurse and my personal caregiver, I believed that I can live longer and live a healthy life.
