The JOURNEY Against Prediabetes Begins

By pohheng | April 20, 2008

Hello, i am Poh Heng and this is my very first post on my first personal website. Hurray, i did it…after months of reading, planning, going round in circles on how to start i.e from a complete idiot knowing nothing about creating websites, knowing nuts about hosting, domain names, DNS etc…to something that looked presentable and to call my own.

I warmly welcome you to my website. The purpose of this website is to bring awareness to a chronic disease by the name of DIABETES, especially PREDIABETES (a condition i have), educate people on this condition, share experiences, problems and provide a source of information. Before that, I would like to thank the following people:

To my wife Elaine, my heart felt thank you to you. You have been such a great support to me and such a understanding wife. From sharing my problems right down to following my “NEW” diet and foregoing so much of your comfort food, your love for me is so unconditional and i am truly grateful with you as my lifetime partner, till our hairs turned grey. I will reverse this condition and this is my promise to you.

To my children Ashton & Ashlyn (2 year 3 months and 8 months respectively now - i know you will get to read this when you are older), you have been a great source of inspiration for me. Everyday i look at you, i know i MUST recover from this disease because i want to enjoy family life with you when you are older. I want to run and play together with you and not watching from the sideline in a wheel chair with my legs amputated, i want to see you grow up into and not only hearing you as my eyesight was lost, i want to be around you and not always heading for kidney dialysis…all of these are the effects of diabetes. Finally, i want you to be happy and not always bringing medication to me, watching me injecting myself with syringes and poking my fingers with those fine little needles for blood tests…Therefore, i will work hard to be normal again.

To my family members who have been so ever supportive and i appreciated that. Special thanks for Elaine’s parents for taking care of our children so well and taking care of them when Elaine and i need to attend courses to bring the websites to you.

Finally, to all my friends and furture readers and hopefully also opt-in as members. Thank you for visiting my website and the support you have given so far are tremendous. Special thanks to my disciples from work (Adeline Poon, Hong Hua and Lai Ling) and friends (Boon Kiat, Yong Feng, Sook Khim etc), unable to list all for consistently asking for my condition and providing encouragements, you are great and i will not let you down.

That’s all for now and The JOURNEY to recovery BEGINS……..

Share and Enjoy:
