Dear…My Health Results are ok Except That I have Diabetes
By edwinseow | April 22, 2008
After getting my health report and learning that i am a diabetic, the first thing that goes through my mind is how to disclose to my dear wife Elaine.
Should i call her immediately or should i keep it from her so that she will not worry??? Or shall i candidly put it across? Or maybe should just tell her squarely.
In the end, i decided to leave it till the end of the day and broke the news as if nothing happened. I told her exactly like this “Dear…i got my health report today. Everything is good….errgh….except that i have Diabetes”
She looked at me, mouth wide opened and asked “How can that be? Mistake?”
Took me a while to explain to her and also the doctor’s recommendation for a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) and HbA1c re-test 3 months later. From her eyes, i knew that she was very worried and unsettled but i reassured her that i’ll be alright…but deep inside, i am no so sure myself.
